If you could save someone dear to you from taking their own life, would you?This series was just adapted into a film, for which I will leave the trailer to below. The story focuses on Naho, a reserved but relate-able young girl who has received a letter from her future self. The letters she frequently receives details events that will come true and when they start proving themselves to Naho, she realizes this is for real.A boy named Kakeru transfers into her class. And this is where the depressing, heart-aching, and very thoughtfully done story begins. To slightly set the tone, the story is about preventing Kakeru's suicide. And Naho has to somehow help him. I can't delve much more into this other than to say that this is a very realistic tale and will make you cry. I've lost a few of my closest friends to suicide, so this definitely struck a cord with me. I've always wanted to go back in time to stop them.Naho has that chance. How she will, or will she be able to, is the ultimate question.I'm sure all of us can recall falling for our friend, wanting time to stop and to be there for them. All of us can remember the best friends we all had and fondly look back on them. But when one is suffering so badly and is about to kill them-self, what can you do? This is Orange.How does this omnibus hold up? If you have any of the 3-in-1's like Naruto, Skip Beat! etc, then be relieved. Seven Seas didn't use cheap paper. The collection is sturdy and hefty, but not so much that it will hurt your hands when reading. 4 colored pages are the what you will open this to, and it is absolutely gorgeous. The pages aren't see through and are practically the same quality of any regular manga page.The art is clean and shojo sparkles are kept to a bare minimum. The romance is slow building and done very well, and all the characters are someone you will care for. This bind up contains the first 3 volumes and doesn't disappoint. Even someone who isn't a fan of shoujo can appreciate this due to how it handles the subject matter. It's relate-able and touching.Trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3QXIv1xvNc
I love this series and I can't wait for the 2nd part of the collection to come out. If you're a fan of romance, teenage life, and good story telling then give this manga a shot!
Orange mixes the hopeful , happy nostalgia of youth with the melancholy bitterness of loss, regrets and the dark topic of suicide. Although as an american I cannot relate to the way the Japanese treat the subject of suicide generally, this book was unexpectedlydifferent , in that, the suicide was not treated as an honorable thing to do but rather showed how suicide can lead toso much confusion and pain for those who are left behind in the wake of the person's death.The thing that kept me reading the book was the charm of youth and the fun of the time travel element as the story unwinds there are a few twists and unexpected developments so you will want to get the second one as well.Good read,some really Lovely artwork depicting actual real places in Japan!
I personally hate omnibuses, they're thick, heavy to hold for a long period of time, and easy to crease. Although orange hasn't changed my opinion on them, I'm still glad that I gave orange chance.the art is well drawn, detailed and very thought out. I also found out there was a live action and an anime adaption for this as well.I did have a problem with the plot, but I won't go into any details and let you figure that out. I literally bought this because it was under recommendations from my purchase history. I'm happy that it turned out to be a shojo manga I really enjoyed.although not similar at all, I think if you ever joked a silent voice you will enjoy this on too
Definitely one of my top favorite mangas of all time, now FINALLY published in the US, thanks Seven Seas. The characters are very developed and highly interesting, and you'll go through every emotion possible in this story. Literally have not cried harder reading a story. Can't wait until the second volume comes out later this year. Would talk more but I don't want to spoil anything. If you like shojo, just go read it. :)
