I thought I'd love this, I'm sad :(

I didn't really enjoy this first volume, it's my first time reading a shojo manga and I found it really cringey at times (it might've been the translation tho, since I read the Argentinean edition), and also the main character it's just so annoyingly innocent !! I couldn't handle it 

I still think the concept is cool, and I might read the next volumes just because I want to know what happens (and they're pretty affordable here). 
But, overall, it was quite disappointing.

The long-awaited sequel to the Eisner-nominated orange! Experience the world of orange from a whole new perspective, as the fate of the present and future timelines unfolds from the point of view of the ever-cheerful third wheel, Suwa Hiroto. Reuniting years later in college, Suwa and Naho’s lives have been forever scarred by their experiences in high school. They say time heals all wounds, but sometimes, time is not enough.

I read this, as well as Vol. 3 and 5 during Dewey's, so it all blends together a bit.

I read volume 3 to 5 during Dewey's 24-hour readathon and they all blend together a bit. But I enjoyed all of them.

I really liked this manga. I am very much still getting used to the format especially reading it digitally but I am very excited to get to the rest of the volumes asap.

I rarely include manga in my shelves (at least here in GR), so when I do, it means I really, really would like somebody else (read: everyone) to read it. I devoured this manga, and I am not at all surprised that it made my chest hurt and left my heart in pieces. 


FYI, This is not because of the tragedy tag, I promise. 

I am a mess, and I can't bear to start another one just yet. This was all too painful and wonderful at the same time. Read it. I cannot recommend it enough.

Mayra Melo

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.

Orange 3

La nouvelle année approche... Mais pour Naho et ses amis, cela signifie aussi une chose : la date fatidique du terrible choix de Kaketu arrive également. Pourront-ils aider leur ami et lui éviter le pire des futurs ? Mais qu’adviendra-t-il, dans tout ça, de l’amour de Suwa ? Rien n’est vraiment sûr, et c’est le coeur lourd et inquiet que Naho envisage les semaines qui viennent... L’inévitable pourra-t-il être évité ?

           J'ai pas les mots tellement j'ai adoré ce manga. Ce tome était encore mieux que les autres, sûrement parce qu'on s'approchait du dénouement... Il est chargé en émotions, j'ai failli lâcher ma larmes à plusieurs reprises. 
J'ai beaucoup apprécié les flashback, les explications sur le futur, et pour une fois, je ne suis pas déçue de la fin. Je trouve qu'elle clôture parfaitement cette saga 🥰

J'ai découvert ce manga pendant un reading challenge et j'ai commencé le lire sans trop savoir de quoi ça parle... J'ai adoré cette saga, j'ai pleuré, j'ai espéré, j'étais contente, j'étais triste, j'ai traversé tous les états. Mais j'ai adoré et je trouve que la fin est parfait!

This was my favorite so far! It was really sweet and still had a lot of depth to it!! Onto the next one...

This was not only cute, but also had a lot of depth to it. I even cried at one bit. I'm sad this series is over, as I really enjoyed all of the characters.

Orange 5

Everyone should read this manga series!! It is so important! This was cute but had a lot to say at the same time! READ IT!!

Je recommande

Mots Clés: manga, shojo, sci-fi, lycée, romance

Voila un manga que l’on ne présente plus. Ce shojo en 6 volumes est connu et apprécié par la plupart. C’est pour ca que je me demande comment j’ai résister à acheter la suite (je ne possède que le tome 1 et 2).

En tout cas, ce premier tome était super. L’intrigue s’installe direct et s’explique doucement. On se pose des questions, mais pas de trop. J’aime beaucoup. De plus, les personnages sont attachants et mignons. J’ai hâte d’enchaine avec le deuxième volume.

Je recommande à tous fan de shojo et à ceux qui veulent débuter ce genre.

4/5

Suite à l'incroyable révélation que Suwa lui a faite, Naho est troublée ! Car si elle a conscience qu'elle ne peut répondre aux sentiments de son ami, elle sait aussi désormais qu'il sera son meilleur allié pour changer le futur de Kakeru. Mais a-t-elle seulement le droit d'abuser de la gentillesse de Suwa, alors que son amour pour Kakeru pourrait bien être sur le point de se concrétiser ?

Troisième volume

Ce tome était, pour moi, un peu moins émotionnel mais je l’ai tout autant apprécié. L’histoire suit son cours et on s’attache toujours un peu plus aux personages. En effet, on en apprend un peu plus sur ce qui ronge Kakeru. J’espère vraiment que nos cinq amis vont réussir à le sauver.

4.5/5

Deuxième tome d'Orange, le chef-d'oeuvre déjà culte d'Ichigo Takano ! Un tome qui laisse de plus en plus de place au futur, sans pour autant négliger l'évolution de la jeune Naho du présent. Beaucoup de révélations, des rivalités amoureuses mais aussi un insoutenable cliffhanger en fin de tome ne manqueront pas de captiver les lecteurs !

Deuxième volume

J’ai beaucoup aimé ce volume. En effet, il était plein d’émotions et j’ai eu les larmes aux yeux plus d’une fois pendant ma lecture. De plus, on apprend comment marche ce système de lettres et j’avoue que j’aime beaucoup l’idée.

4/5
