Yet again, after months of voting, our tournament has come to an end. As expected by many of you, MeixYuzu managed to make it to the very top, once again. I guess this really proves that 2015 is yet again the year of Citrus, which has probably become the most popular Yuri Manga of all-time.
To show you how much the two of them beat the other pairs by, here’s the final Tournament Bracket, as well as a little diagram to show you the total amount of votes your favorite pairing got:
Just like last time, we’d like to celebrate their great victory, so we decided to yet again implement another header on the blog:
We’ll keep this one until the end of the year~
With that said, I can only repeat what I mentioned so many times already: The popularity of Citrus is still a mystery to me. I understand why it’s popular, but the popularity of this manga reaches an extent that has been almost impossible to reach for any of the past yuri manga.
I’m not complaining about this in the slightest. As many of you know, I’m a die-hard Citrus fan myself, and thanks this development, we’re closer to a Citrus anime then we’ve ever been.
So, yeah. Keep it up, guys. Chances are good we’ll actually get what we want very soon~
Yet again, congratulations to the winning pairing. You deserve it!

Congrats to all you Citrus fans out there, winning both tournaments is pretty impressive!
Guess it's time for me to re-read Citrus, need to figure out what all this hype is about.

Even though I read and like Citrus I didn't vote for them. Since the story is still on going and compare to other pairings, I feel that their relationship still lacking to be vote as the best yuri pairing. Hmm I just hope Mei will be deredere to Yuzu soon… I don't know how long I can hold before I flip my cat every time I read a new chapter and I found their relationship only going to south… But I can't stop reading it… And why I feel like I'm turning to ドM…
Anyway congrats to Yuzu and Mei! Killing sempai, yuri legend and even godoka and reached the top. (I still sad my otp didn't make it thou… Sobschikanehimekosobs)

I agree! while i love all these yuri pairings a ton i cant help but love Chimeko the most! they are just too special…too amazing! also Kaon and Himiko is epic as well! 🙂 none the less i love Mei and Yuzu and Citrus is a blast to read. congrats to the two love birds!

Aww, I was hoping Akko x Mari would somehow pull it off. Just like a lot of people, I'm still perplexed about Citrus' popularity, but oh well, it's not a bad manga by any means. Girl Friends will always remain the true Yuri masterpiece…in my opinion.
I am excited about Citrus potentially becoming an anime though. We can finally have a “serious” Yuri anime that focuses on the developing relationship between 2 women without the need of mechs, supernatural abilities, gender-bender situations, etc. Here's hoping they break the mainstream, and that it's a success so more will follow suit; maybe even a Girl Friends anime finally…probably not…

*Scratches head* well I am officially surprised, didn't expect Citrus to even win this and yet, it managed to scrape through with another win, but credit where credit is deserved, Citrus has done extremely well in the last year. From cameo in Yuru Yuri and a potential anime on the cards, it could very well mean that Citrus will continue to grow.
well done to Citrus, they have dominated 2015 against all the odds.

I mean I like Mei-Yuzu because the art is good (I simply tolerate the story) but I really wish Akko-Mari to win…
But I guess as Mei-Yuzu design kinda inspired by Akko-Mari (the black hair girl is the model student, the blonde hair girl is the fashionable one, blonde hair girls realize she is gay because the black hair girl kissed her, etc.) I don't mind Akko-Mari lose this time around…
Better Shiznats win next time though!
Or I'll come to your house voters and aggressively convince you to enjoyably watch Mai-HiME!

Pretty simple reason: People are starved for yuri so they are willing to settle for less and talk themselves into thinking that it's actually awesome.

That is the problem with Citrus, as much as I like the manga, I also accept that there are faults with the story, maybe the anime can portray the series a little better if it comes to that, but then again, there are some things Uta can improve upon in her story.
the only other one I liked was Kannazuki No Miko, but that wasn't for the Yuri, the only other one I really liked was Strawberry Panic, the artwork was amazing and the presentation of the series was beautiful, on the flipside, I despise Valkyrie Drive Mermaid, it looks really nice in terms of artwork, some of the action sequences are really cool, but the anime is dominated by one thing and to me it really eats away at the quality the artwork and action sequences.
I for one hope that Citrus can improve, in terms of story and fix up some of the weaknesses in the artwork, other than that, it isn't a bad series, but one that can be improved upon.

True, we don't have the luxury of being picky with our yuri.
Though, there are limits, and for me Kuttsukiboshi crossed that line I set for myself.
In case of Valkyrie and Citrus, I definitely see the many, many flaws they have, but at the same time they just have something about them that I can enjoy and that I can hype myself for.
Be it artwork, be it romance, sexy characters, or simply put the right kind of yuri.
