Seven Seas will release Orange: The Complete Collection in its entirety in two separate 384-page omnibus editions. Each omnibus collection will contain wrap-around covers, colour inserts, and captivating shoujo-style artwork. Everyone has regrets in life. So who wouldn't take the chance to change the past if given the opportunity? When sixteen-year-old Takamiya Naho receives a mysterious letter, claiming to be from her twenty-seven-year-old self, her life is suddenly thrown into flux. The letter informs her that a new transfer student by the name of Naruse Kakeru will be joining her class, and to keep her eye on him. What is Naho to make of the letter's contents and its cryptic warning? Orange: The Complete Collection 2 also includes a bonus story, Haruiro Astronaut. This five chapter story is about a pair of twins who discover that they can't share everything in life - or at least not an alien that suddenly becomes a part of it.
This manga is definitely one of those manga to read on a rainy day and have your heart filled with warmth and fluff. It's so sweet and sincere and I can't deal with it! I fully admit that I teared up throughout those 5 volumes (two if you go by the omnibus count) and I have felt both hope and despair throughout it.
I think this manga does such a fantastic job exploring depression and one of the forms it can come as, and I wish we could've gotten a bit more of the altered future, just so we can rest assured that Kakeru continues to find the strength and reason to live every day
I also think this is one of the best and most wonderful renditions of friendships I have ever seen in manga and anime. These six would live and die for one another, and they care so much. It's so rare to find such precious, life-changing friendships at those ages. It was so great to read off!!
