Fans of the popular yuri manga Citrus manga might have to wait a bit more until the next release. Saburouta, the creator of the popular yuri manga series Citrus posted on her Twitter account last weekend that the spin-off of the manga series titled Citrus Plus will be on hiatus this month and the release of the next chapter is slated for next month’s issue.
The February issue of the magazine Comic Yuri Hime is expected to release on January 18 in Japan. The creator assures that the series will return in the next issue as her tweet states.
お知らせです。1月18日発売予定のコミック百合姫3月号ですが、私の都合で『citrus』は休載になります。楽しみにして頂いている皆様には大変申し訳ありません。次号から連載再開致しますのでよろしくお願いします。 #citrus

Citrus focuses on the life of the upbeat girl named Yuzu and the serious student council president Mei. Yuzu’s life changed forever when Mei moves in with her—and to realize that they are both stepsisters! Both girls have lingering feelings for each other and they are tested with the random school and slice-of-life situations that both have to face.
Citrus was a New York Times Bestseller in 2015 with its volumes sold over 800,000 printed copies internationally. The manga also had an anime adaptation aired last January and concluded in March in a total of 12 episodes. It has published around 10 volumes so far. The ongoing spin-off Citrus Plus was announced during the release of the manga’s 41st chapter. Before the hype of the anime adaptation, Citrus also had a drama CD which was released along with the fourth volume of the manga back in July 2015.
The anime adaptation was produced by Passione, which also done the animations of Rail Wars! (2014), Hinako Note (2017), and High School DxD Hero (2018).
With the upcoming chapter of Citrus Plus delayed for a month, we have a bit of a long wait until we get to see Mei and Yuzu again.
