On a normal morning, Naho Takamiya finds a mysterious letter in her mailbox, supposedly written by her future self from ten years later. The note describes events that are about to happen that day. Initially, Naho thinks it’s a joke, but her doubt fades when a new student, Kakeru Naruse, joins her class, just as the letter predicted. Driven by this revelation, Naho examines the letter’s contents more closely, which lists past regrets and urges her to change her actions. It becomes evident that these regrets are closely connected to Kakeru. Knowing that he won’t be part of her life or her group of friends in the future, Naho faces the challenge of altering fate. The story also includes the Haru-iro Astronaut (Spring-Colored Astronaut) series.

Background

After chapter 9 ran in Bessatsu Margaret magazine in November 2012, Orange went on hiatus for over a year. In 2013, the series switched publishers from Shueisha to Futabasha, which re-published the first two volumes, and starting from chapter 10, serialization moved to Monthly Action magazine starting in the February 2014 issue. After the series finished serialization in the October 2015 issue, side stories were published intermittently in the April 2016 through July 2017 issues, and on Web Action from July 16, 2021 to April 8, 2022. The series has sold a total of 1.6 million copies since it was serialized, with the fourth volume ranking 25 on Oricon's weekly manga rankings chart. Orange also ranked 15th among male readers in the 2015 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! magazine. A live-action film adaptation was released in Japan on December 12, 2015. The first five volumes of Orange were published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment in two omnibus volumes from January 26 to May 31, 2016, the sixth volume on January 23, 2018, and the seventh on March 7, 2023.
