It’s no secret that I absolutely love Orange, it’s probably my favorite manga of all time, but this volume just didn’t feel necessary? It was cool to see the characters later in after the events of the previous volumes, but it also felt really repetitive at times and more of the same. The ending was really beautiful though, and I loved certain scenes in this, otherwise it was pretty forgettable. 😭

"Happiness is never far away. It's not something you search for but something you
realize
!"
In true fashion, this final volume starts just as heart-hitting as every volume prior to this one has been. In fact, after the first chapter, I had to put it down when I first started it because I was not "in that mindset" where I felt I could read and handle this volume.
Despite that I was nervous about how this ending would unfold, I found I really enjoyed this volume overall!
I have LOVED all of Naho and Kakeru's friends and found great joy (tied in with sadness) in seeing a variety of situations from their perspectives. Since the main series is from Naho's perspective (excluding the previous volume since it's from Suwa's), it was refreshing and moving to see how much Kakeru's friends also deeply cared for him, not just Naho. It reminded me of why I loved the series and how this isn't a girl-saves-boy story (though I do confess those vibes felt stronger in this one since we also get Kakeru's perspective) and is more of a group of loving friends coming together to help their hurting friend and see him smile once more. There was even more emphasis on how Kakeru can talk to ANY of them about anyTHING and deeply loved that. It reminded me that when I'm hurting, I can always (and should!) reach out to those around me because we are all more loved than we realized. <3
One thing I found interesting in reading this is that after the chapter that featured Suwa's perspective, I went back and reread some of Orange Future and how much sadder his storyline was. While Orange Future is my favorite volume in the series (and wrecks me every. single. time.), Orange to You, Dear One definitely felt much more like the final conclusion. I didn't realize how sad Orange Future was until I unknowingly compared it to this volume because the happiness is much more apparent in Kakeru's timeline. (My heart still breaks how harsh Suwa was on himself in the previous volume *sobs*) In that sense, I think I liked this one a little differently. It's sort of like the ending the you always hoped for Kakeru and the genuine joy you feel when someone you care for continues to live on despite how hard life may be. <3
I have not read Dreamin' Sun, but I LOVED that crossover bonus manga/chapter at the end! It was so fun and found I definitely wanted to read that series at some point just so I could know who the characters were! LOL!
Overall, this is a moving and very heartfelt ending that while at times leaves your heart heavy, it also fills you with deep hope and how we all have value and deserve happiness. Definitely recommend if you love the series Orange!

« Accepter de vivre, c'est comme marcher dans un paysage enneigé. Même si on n'en voit pas le bout, ce n'est pas grave. Même si parfois on s'arrête, on tombe, jamais il ne faut s'arrêter. Il faut continuer d'avancer, pas à pas.
Car toujours, après la neige...le printemps nous attend. »
Ce dernier tome était pépite et conclu bien la saga je trouve. Même si j'ai trouvé la 2ème moitié légèrement essoufflée par rapport à la 1ère qui était géniale, j'ai aimé me replonger dans l'univers de Orange avec ses personnage si attachants.
J'ai bien envie de relire toute la saga maintenant 🤭

5/5✨
Poezja to mało do powodzenia. Nic nie umywa się do serii Orange. Autentycznie nic XD
Po raz pierwszy czytałam pozostałe tomy, gdy miałam 15 lat. Teraz wróciłam do nich w wieku 22 lat i... Nic nie dało mi takiej refleksji jak te mangi (o mojej przeszłej ja, gdzie marzyłam o byciu uratowanej oraz mojej obecnej ja, gdzie uczy się jak to jest kochać siebie i innych).
Czuję wzruszenie i zaszczyt, że teraz udało się przeczytać wszystkie tomy, gdzie mogłam zamknąć cała historie. I te łzy na policzkach są ze wzruszenia, śmiechu i miłości którą czuje do tej historii.
Teraz tylko pamiętać, że życie bywa różne, ale w tym równie piękne i wartościowe i doskonale wiem, że Ichigo Takano nie przeczyta tej recenzji, ale...
Dziękuję, że twoja historia ratowała mnie w najtrudniejszych latach mojego życia 💖

The perfect ultimate ending. 🥰
I thought before that the ending of omnibus 2/Volume 5 was the perfect ending, but this volume expanded upon that and made it even better by showing more of what happened after they saved Kakeru.
Each of the friends’ perspectives on Kakeru and their letters really made them shine and had me understanding them and their personalities more. But my favorite has to be seeing Kakeru’s POV as he’s been the character I understand and see myself in the most and just watching him move on and LIVE is inspiring and not at all easy but worth it in the end when you’re surrounded by those who truly care about and love you. Though I REALLY wanted to slap his father because HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO YOUR SON?!?! Like what the heck?!?! Thankfully his part was small though it messed up Kakeru for days. 😒
And the ending…!!!! I was NOT expecting that twist at the end but it was perfect and made me tear up at how true and wonderful the message of this whole series is. I’m so glad the mangaka wrote this story and I know for sure that I will read it many, many times in the years to come. ☺️
(As a side note the cross over short story at the end was funny though I still don’t have a desire to read the Dreamin’ Sun series—sorry! It has a love triangle, so NO, also I like Orange’s characters more. ☺️)
‼️Content‼️
TRIGGER WARNING: a character used to want to commit suicide and explains what it feels like to want to die
Language: twit; pissed; hell; dang it; dammit; damned
Violence: a girl hits a guy on the back; a girl threatens to punch another but is stopped; a girl’s shoved to the ground
Sexual: a guy calls himself hot
Other: a character used to want to commit suicide and explains what it feels like to want to die; time travel

Orange volume 1 to 5 has been a very sweet read. But volume 6 & especially 7 just take it too far. The sole aim of these are to keep dwelling on the message and rubbing it in over and over again. The blatant attempts to tear-jerk reminded me a bit of
The Fault in our Stars
.
Nothing is really added to the story, if you were looking for Azu x Hagita content don't bother.
Anyone on #TeamSuwa (*cough* like myself) won't like his portrayal here either.
The art is still absolutely gorgeous though, but that's about all this got going for it.

For me, this was the perfect finale to the series. While it could be perceived as a little unnecessary, I think it wraps up everything in such a way that I won't ever have lingering questions when reminiscing about this story.
As a series, it never bit off more than it could chew and it never felt like there was any filler. The characters were excellent in their design and with compelling depth. Most importantly, the story was perfectly crafted from beginning to end.

4,5/5⭐️
Chyba najlepszy ze wszystkich tomów. Może to przez punkty widzenia, choć króciutkie, wszystkich bohaterów, a może przez narrację Kakeru, ale jest w tym tomie coś, czego nie zapomnę na długo.
Standardowo także postać Suwy łamie mi serce, niezależnie od tego, co by się z nim nie stało. Bardzo żałuję, że mimo wszystko nie otrzymał swojej szczęśliwej przyszłości, nawet takiej wykluczającej to, czego wcześniej tak naprawdę chciał.

It's been a little bit since I've legit cried, like tears actually rolling down my face and not just tearing up, from reading so thanks Ichigo Takano for always doing that to me <3<3<3

So sad it’s over maar echt een perfecte afsluiter voor dit verhaal!! Ik hou zooooo veel van al deze personages, ga deze manga zeker rereaden in de toekomst.

Ah, to think that this is the last volume of Orange that will ever be... I'm feeling so many emotions thinking of that. Sadness, gratefulness, and love. I adore Orange and it's been something that I have recently discovered, so compared to others, I haven't waited as long for the journey to be published in English in America. I loved how each chapter focused on the perspective of each person in the friend group and rounded off with tying up loose ends and concluding where Orange left off. It was perfect. My heart soared and tears flowed because it was so sweet. I love the message of Orange and I can't wait to reread this series in the future.

Der Abschlussband lässt noch einmal alle anderen Charaktere zu Wort kommen, die in der Geschichte erwähnt werden: Hagita, Takako, Azusa, Suwa und Kakeru. Wo die ersten fünf Bände aus der Sicht von Naho erzählen und im letzten Band Suwa zu Wort kommt, erlebt man diesmal, welche Aufgabe Hagita, Takako und Azusa bekommen haben und noch einmal, wie schwer es Suwa fällt, Kakeru zu retten.
Besonders intensiv und definitiv der Triggerwarnung von Depressionen und suizidale Gedanken entsprechend, waren die wenigen Kapitel aus der Sicht von Kakeru. Mit wenigen Worten und simplen Zeichnungen werden Kakerus Gefühle und Probleme dargestellt, wie sehr er auf Naho angewiesen ist und wie sehr er darum kämpft, alleine stark zu sein, was sich nicht als einfach gestaltet. Diese Kapitel haben bei mir einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen und schließen die Geschichte wunderbar, wenn auch mit einem Kloß im Hals ab.
Für mich einer der besten Bände der Reihe, wieder mit wunderbaren Zeichnungen und tollen Charakteren.

ได้เห็นโมเม้นระหว่างตัวละครอย่างฮากิตะ, อาซุ และทากะจังที่มีต่อคาเครุมากขึ้น จดหมายแต่ละคนที่เขียนมาให้คาเครุน่ารักดี (รวมทั้งของนาโฮะและสุวะด้วย) แล้วก็แอบมี surprise จากอีกตัวละครด้วยนิดนึง
เออใช่ ตรงพาร์ทพ่อคาเครุจะมีมาเพื่อ? แบบแกมาเอาไรป่านนี้เอ่ย มาเพื่อพ่นอะไรก็ไม่รู้ให้คนอื่นเขารู้สึกไม่ดีอ่ะ ตัวเองจะหาพวกเพื่อไร อ่านละเซ็งโคตร เอาจริงฉากนี้เอาไปใส่ไว้เล่มก่อนๆก็ได้ อยากให้จบเล่มมสุดท้ายแบบจบดีๆอ่ะ แง
ปล. จดหมายจากนักเขียนตอนท้ายน่ารักมาก อยากไปดูซากุระที่มัตสึโมโต้ตอนพระอาทิตย์ตกแบบตัวละครในเรื่องบ้างงง

Dei aquela choradinha clássica como em todos os outros volumes dessa série, porque não tem jeito. Me senti abraçada e deu vontade de ler tudo desde o começo, mas ao mesmo tempo achei que faltou explorar um pouco mais certos aspectos, algumas coisas ficaram meio corridas. Mesmo assim, essa será sempre minha série de mangás favorita ♥
April 16, 2025
Este volumen me ha gustado algo más que el 6 pero tampoco aporta mucho a la historia realmente, así que sigo pensando que debería haberla dejado en 5 tomos. Una pena porque me encanta la historia original y pensaba que había potencial para explorar más cosas, pero se queda en lo mismo y se hace un poco repetitivo.

Le dernier tome était moins riche que les autres mais je suis heureuse de l'aboutissement de cette série que je suis depuis des années. J'en ai tiré beaucoup de choses et j'espère qu'elle a apporté autant aux autres personnes qui ont lu cette histoire.
