Orange - 2015 - 6/10
AKA - Orenji // オレンジ
Adolescent fairy tale, told to maximize emotional impact.
Walking to school, Naho finds in her purse a letter from her future self.
Ten years older, suffering regrets.
Her letter tells her things that are going to happen, things she must try to prevent.
Inside the classroom, the new transfer student is introduced, and as the letter predicts, events begin to unroll.
A story of desperately trying to avoid Fate, or to swerve the path, and the ramifications.
School is idealized, with little drama and resentment.
The concept of a clutch of honest friends supporting each other is rare, though I did witness such on occasion.
