Reading progress update: I've read 190 out of 384 pages.

orange: The Complete Collection 2 - Ichigo Takano

Guessing on the page number, since there are none.

 

I really need to remember to add a content warning for depression and suicide to my review when I write it, because dang. I just got through the series' first (only?) Original Kakeru POV flashback, including all the stuff that snowballed into his final decision, and it was a horrible reminder of some childhood stuff I would rather not have suddenly remembered.

 

Although this is good, it's leaning an awful lot towards the message I was hoping Takano wasn't going to go with ("high school romance can save Kakeru"). There are signs Takano might have something else planned, though, so I'm crossing my fingers. It looks like Orange ends about two thirds of the way through this volume, and after that there's an unrelated (?) extra manga.
