I'm perfectly okay with the magic and mystery of it. What I really disliked though in Future is that bit of exposition about how the letters reached the past. Instead we see snippets of the events in the original material and some in the future, and how Suwa reacts on them. The story is not that ripe enough to fully explore Suwa's inner self, something that has been thoroughly explored with Kakeru and Naho. But I'd say that the impact is not that enough. Takano really did well in preserving character personalities especially that of Suwa - a cheerful, selfless martyr. Orange: Future fits the book category "totally unnecessary but I will read it anyway".įuture is marketed as Suwa's story, a point of view that I am really interested in experiencimg. I would recommend it to those who loved the original Orange collections.Īlthough Ichigo Takano's Orange: Future may still pack an emotional punch that remains consistently faithful to the original series, this sixth volume falls short in terms of smooth storytelling, relying on the readers' emotional investment in order to progress a plot that has spread so thin in the book. Yes, it was interesting to see Suwa's perspective but in all honesty I would rather read about Azu and Hagita-Kun. I also don't think we actually learned anything more about any of the characters which makes me feel like this addition didn't really add anything to the overall story. Here, we see him stealing Kakeru's ideas regarding where to take Naho out on dates which I think is a bit out of character. In the first two collections, I really loved him (possibly a tad more than Kakeru) since he was always there for Naho and seemed to have her best interests at heart. Whilst I did enjoy reading this latest instalment, I didn't think it was particularly necessary as Takano portrays Suwa as a bit of a douche, which I really didn't like. This volume focusses on Suwa's relationship with Naho and how they eventually come to be together after Kakeru's death. (Honestly, I feel like I know them in real life!)

Having said that, the artwork was still super-cute and being reunited with the group was wonderful. Hmmmm.the storytelling in this volume wasn’t as smooth as the previous volumes and I had difficulty at times discerning whether we were in the past or present which was a shame as I didn't experience this in the first two collections I read.
