Yuzu Aihara is a free-spirited teen who is forced to move to a new city and school after her mother remarries. Yuzu finds her new surroundings a little too conservative for her style, and her iconoclastic personality creates friction with the student council at her new school. Complicating matters is having the student council president, Mei Aihara, as her new stepsister. The girls have to share a bedroom and initially cannot stand each other. But as time progresses, their animosity begins to dissolve and they experience unexpected romantic feelings. This yuri anime—with a lesbian-themed storyline—is presented with a degree of maturity and sensitivity that is frequently absent from similar productions. Yuzu is a particularly memorable character, whose free-wheeling, reckless behavior creates chaos that often blossoms into surprising plot developments. Still, Citrus feels padded and the emotional bond between Yuzu and Mei takes a very long time to solidify. Presenting all 12 episodes from 2018 in a dual-language Blu-ray/DVD Combo set, rated TV-14, this is a strong optional purchase. (P. Hall)
