Citrus: Season 1 – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Citrus has its moments. Especially when addressing female homosexuality in Japan. However, despite the growth of character Yuzu, it’s more about tantalization than substance.

So do Mei and Yuzu end up together? Really, you need to ask?
Despite this seemingly being the penultimate episode, there is nothing to push you to believe we are about to hit the finale.
The back and forth continues as Mei deals with feeling rejected and Yuzu seeks out a new character to understand her feelings better.
Matsuri and Mei have their final battle and Yuzu ends up being the deciding factor.
As Matsuri takes in what she is dealing with, when it comes to Mei, Yuzu tries to explain Matsuri’s relationship to her.
As Mei continues to be very hot and cold, she is presented with a challenger in the form of Matsuri.
Despite ecchi elements surely turning some people off, Citrus reminds us that love is a complicated thing and so is figuring out how to handle your attractions/affection for someone.
Yuzu has come to the point in realizing that she may have to put her feelings aside, especially as she comes to realize who Shou is to Mei and the damage his absence has done.
As Himeko makes her significance in Mei’s life known, it throws whatever Yuzu was building towards into chaos.
Yuzu is ensnared in Mei’s games and finds it difficult to know whether her burgeoning feelings are/ can be reciprocated or if Mei is just toying with her?
As Chairman Aihara becomes aware of his new granddaughter, he questions who will influence who and makes some preemptive moves.
Consider this a full-length, perhaps better written, Netsuzou Trap or the Yuri anime you’ve always wanted.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
