''People often say, ‘‘A lot of people would be sad if you died.’’ But you dont know that for sure unless you die. ‘‘Even if the going is though now, hang in there and it'll get better.’’ Easy for you to say. Hanging in there... Living... Is the toughest thing there is.''Oh no no nooooo~ The feels!! This manga is the death of me.

No sé, pero no es lo que esperaba. El primer capítulo sí que me gustó, lo vi como una buena introducción y con unos personajes que pensaba que podrían dar juego con la historia. En la segunda parte la trama fue avanzando, y pese a que la protagonista me sacaba de los nervios, entendía ligeramente su situación. El problema vino a partir de la mitad.

Desde ese día Naho no deja de recibir cartas en las que su yo del futuro le explica que hay muchas cosas de las que se arrepiente y que le gustaría poder cambiar. La más importante es evitar que alguien muy importante para ella, su querido y misterioso Kakeru, desaparezca de su vida. Pese a un primer momento de incredulidad, se empieza a dar cuenta de que las cartas relatan con ex

"Completed the whole series".
Volumes: 5
- Vol. 2: Orange 2
- Vol. 3: Orange 3
- Vol. 4: Orange 4
- Vol. 5: Orange 5

This is the best manga I've ever read! It made me cry and cry!! Full of true feelings.
- When they told "Kakeru" that they tried all the time to save him from death, that was very touching.
Really「ありがとう 」for the writer.

I'm so happy this manga was turned into a movie in Japan recently. Too eager to watch it.

In the midst of the usual shoujo manga varieties that cater to the many shades and conflicts of school-girl infatuation and romance, Ichigo Takano's ongoing series ORANGE easily stands out. This manga's central romantic development, though more or less integral to the tale being told, is not Orange's real selling point let alone its primary focus. Instead, Orange is a rather earnest and at times painfully realistic story concerning a teenager's clinical depression told in the perspectives of his

review of another edition
Super completely random decided to check this out. I had this on my tbr and then Gabry rec'd it to me so I was like ... cool, let's give this a chance.
Nine chapters and two hours later I was hooked.
This has a perfect blend of great characters, fantastic story, and a bit of a scifi twist to get you hooked.
Can't wait to finish this one and see what happens.

When Naho receives a letter from herself ten years in the future, she begins to have doubts that it is real. Can she change the future already set into place about her and her friends as well as a boy she likes named Kakeru? Read on and find out for yourself.
This was a pretty good manga that I read at http://www.mangareader.net/orange-tak... . Go here to check it out. It was a pretty good manga drama.

I was expecting a cutesy, shallow plot, but this story is actually touching, and has potential for some tears. I like how the writer handles friendship, without all that sisterhood-traveling-pants far-fetched nonsense. It's a perfect balance between the importance of friends and the pitfalls of reality.

Great manga with nice story that goes deep into the psychology of the characters, touching sensitive issues. That said, it doesn't focuses on the school life, friendship and young love solemnly and that was interesting. Another plus of this manga was its length, as it was short enough to read it comfortably.
I almost drowned in my own tears. And even after so many days, every time I think about this manga, I die a little inside.
This review is my version of catharsis.

The thing about oranges is that when you peel the rind, you don’t know how it would taste. You pick a piece and put it in your mouth, you don’t know; it could taste tangy and bitter or, it could taste sweet and citrusy, like a burst of sunset between your teeth. That’s what I think this manga allegorizes. I had no idea going in what I ...more

5/5 estrellas.
Me enamoré para toda la vida.
Es hermoso cuando tomás un manga con todo el hype y termina cumpliendo esas expectativas.
Acá tenemos a Naho, nuestra protagonista, una adolescente de 16 años quien recibe una carta de su yo a 10 años en el futuro mencionándole sucesos que estarán por venir y cosas que quiere que haga (y que no haga) para que luego no se quede con el remordimiento, debido a que la Naho de 26 años ya no puede con todo el arrepentimiento que carga su corazón.

Una vez alguien me dijo, "hey! ¿Por que pones mangas en Goodreads, si Goodreads es solo de libros?"
Pues déjenme contarles queridos lectores, que el manga tambien es literatura. No suelo poner los mangas aquí porque, de hecho, no leo muchos mangas, pero este realmente me ha gustado mucho, y pienso que hacer una review es una forma de que otros lo vean y tambien lo lean.

“That day, I fell in love with Kakeru.”
After reading the first chapter of Orange, I knew at once that it was going to be a part of my favorite manga series. And needless to say, I was right. The drawings were simple, but despite that they were very beautiful. Takano Ichigo didn’t bother on the aesthetics and all those eye-candy stuff, but she sketched directly and straight to the point. That way, the sketches turned out flawlessly drawn, and visually appealing in its own right.

This is review for book 1-5 of this series.
So the manga started at the first day of school when Naho received a mysterious letter from 26th years old future herself.
Future Naho describing what would happened with her first school day that her class will have a new student named Kakeru and how she will spend with Kakeru and her other friends from now on.

I hadn’t read a manga in a while. I would say around 5 or 6 years. Yet, I used to love reading those back in junior high and high school, I was even a cosplayer and I used to go to manga conventions. Unfortunately, you read a manga in one or two hours and it costs between 7 and 10 euros. It represents quite a budget and it is probably for this that I stopped reading them. I have seen this one a lot on the blogosphere and on BookTube and a few friends convinced me to read it.

Que bueno que decidí seguir la recomendación de Jessethereader, aunque ya casi a un año desde de que víl el vídeo en el que presenta estas novelas gráficas o comics, honestamente no se que sean, no se la diferencia; pero lo que si se, es que me encanto este primer tomo, desde el principio realmente te llega a enganchar, y así te mantiene hasta el final.
