In the future timeline where the letters come from Naho is with Suwa and they even have a child, but throughout the story there is a definite push for her to be with Kakeru (one I was rooting for). I will say, the one thing I struggled with during this story through both volumes was the relationship of Naho with both Kakeru and Suwa. I’m still amazed at how well Ichigo Takano covers a topic such as this with respect, all while giving you that hope that the friends will help Kakeru this time around. This one was just as strong an installment as the first volume, bringing us the same sweet friendships, and yet delving further into Kakeru’s story. Orange is a slice of life manga focused on Naho and her friends as they try to use letters from their future selves to save their friend, Kakeru, from his future suicide. I walked away wanting the next volume, and looking forward to how volume 2 would continue the story. It’s a hard subject to go into in any format, but Orange introduced us to the struggles of Kakeru, all while giving a clear edge of hope and a gentle approach to a tough subject matter. The first volume was a sweet mix of friends looking out for one another, and the desperate attempt to be there for a friend who they know died, but was likely a suicide. Posts with little relation will be removed.We left off the first volume of this collection feeling like the shortage of manga might just be my undoing. Future Naho asks her to watch over him closely. What's more shocking is that she discovers that ten years later, Kakeru will no longer be with them. The Naho from ten years later repeatedly states that she has many regrets, and she wants to fix these by making sure the Naho from the past can make the right decisions-especially regarding Kakeru. As Naho reads on, the letter recites the exact events of the day, including the transfer of a new student into her class named Kakeru Naruse. One day, Naho Takamiya receives a letter written to herself from ten years in the future.
