Taniguchiharumi Stories

(this is the book version. I own nothing but this version. All credits to Saburo Uta. Please check the manga out! Its awesome. Also this is Yuri,meaning GirlxGirl.) Yuzu Aihara, a fashionable, spontaneous and fun-loving city-girl, transfers to a new neighborhood and high-school after the re-marriage of her mother. More preoccupied with boys and shopping than studying, Yuzu struggles to fit in at the conservative girls' school and frequently clashes with the student council-specifically Mei Aihara, the hard-working, beautiful but cold student council president. As it turns out, Mei happens to be Yuzu's new step-sister and Yuzu finds herself having to share a bedroom with a girl she absolutely can't stand. The series follows the evolution of the relationship between the two girls, with the animosity slowly lessening as the two begin to learn more about each other and confusion growing as Yuzu discovers that she is starting to develop romantic feelings for her new sibling.

Citrus Minus here, I wanted to write a story that focuses on Harumi Taniguchi and what might things be like from her perspective. To me, Harumi has always been portrayed as a self-confident person who really values her friendship with Yuzu. Putting the emphasis on Harumi and telling a story from her perspective, I imagined she might actually be a lot more contemplative and introspective underneath. This story takes place parallel to the Citrus+ timeline, from late September through the end of October. At the time of writing, 'August 14th' is the most recent Citrus+ chapter. In "Harumi Taniguchi and her most important friend", the Aihara Academy student council are working on plans to do something fun for the students, finally. Somehow Yuzu has convinced Mei to have the school host a Halloween festival and, in doing so, begins working alongside the student council. Meanwhile, Harumi finds herself at a loss without her best friend around so much. What does the newly busy Yuzu who can't make time for Harumi, mean for the two's friendship? Can the hard-lined Aihara student council really pull off such an event for the school? To find out, please enjoy this story that has Harumi as our star!! Part 1, released NOW! Stay tuned for the rest!

The story of a beautiful day thirteen years after Yuzu chose to give up on Mei and the heiress ended up in the wrong adventure of an arranged marriage and becoming Aihara Chairman.
