The omnibus edition we have, called tankoban in manga terminology, collects the first few volumes of the series, and that’s what this review will be discussing.
Orange is one of the volumes we’ve collected thus far. I’ve been a casual reader of manga since my early teens and I’ve recently gotten back into the genre since we’re acquiring more of it here at the library.

Orange by Ichigo Takano is not your typical novel. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get to the review!
