Citrus has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. 117 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Ayana Taketatsu's performance alone is worth the time investment. Start it on Crunchyroll whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Citrus is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Citrus gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Yuzu, a high school gyaru who hasn't experienced her first love yet, transfers to an all-girls school after her mother remarries. She's beyond upset that she can't land a boyfriend at her new school. Then, on her first day, she meets the beautiful black-haired student council president Mei in the worst way possible. Ayana Taketatsu and Minami Tsuda lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It was aired in 2018. The timing in Citrus is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Citrus is a strong candidate. A Condition Called Love is the obvious comparison, but Citrus earns its own place alongside it. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Ayana Taketatsu sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Citrus wrapped up in 2018 — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
