I’m not going to spoil anything, but this manga absolutely broke me. I was crying so violently I actually thought I was gonna pass out on the spot. It talks a lot about mental health, so it’s a good read if you’re struggling with something similar. It’ll definitely show you the perspective from outsiders.
I could relate to Kakeru and Naho in certain scenarios.. and reading this manga made me see certain things in a different light now. I'm glad I picked it up to read it. ;)
Me encantó esta historia. Si bien la parte de cómo las cartas llegaron al pasado no me fue del todo convincente, hice caso omiso de eso, ya que los personajes, su relación me compró.
Tienen una amistad tan fuerte que es envidiable; imposible no encariñarte con estos personajes.
Pero no todo es color de rosa, ya que el motivo por el que la Naho del futuro le manda esa carta a la del pasado es bastante fuerte. No debería dar spoilers, pero sepan que se tratan temas como la depresión.
Nadie me preguntó, pero ¿cuál fue el personaje que más me gustó? Takamiya. ¿Por qué? Es desinteresado, amigable, fiel, se preocupa por los demás hasta el punto de ponerse en segundo plano (claramente no comparto este comportamiento al 100%)... imposible no quererlo
NO HATE BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MANGAS Orange has an interesting plot, it feels unique to other manga i have read. i like how tragic it is. However, the main character is so fucking unbearable. and some scenes are super unbearable too.
Bitter sweet ending. In one way, a happy ending but does that mean one future ceases to exist? That I haven't figured out. Hence bitter sweet. Still, I really enjoyed reading it.
This manga was absolutely amazing and made me think so much. The concept was so well thought and the author seems like he actually researched about the subject before writing this book. Of course the ending was tragic but the rest of the book was so good I wasn’t even mad, just devastated. There is a certain quote from the teacher talking about the future and I never forgot it. Definitely a must read for people who love romance
