Overall it's a very average shoujo manga. Popular MMC, unpopular FMC, rivals, etc. I would have given it a better score but there was way too much time spent on side character stories rather than the main couple. While some side stories I can appreciate, others were such minor or unlikable characters that it really didn't leave an impact. Because of all the side stories it takes ages for the main couple to make any progress. It's a standard shoujo formula but I just felt that the sheer amount of side stories really took away from building the characters of the main couple. Yes, you ... see a lot of the FMC, but there isn't that much character building for the MMC. Not the worst manga, definitely not the best.

Orange is a stunning story not only about love and high school romance but also about friendship and depression.

This is a manga that touches upon different kinds of love. Sacrificial love, platonic love, unconditional love, overbearing love. All of these come up in the relationships with the MC's.

There are some standard tropes thrown around here and there because it is a high school based shoujo manga but every action is so important. I am trying my best not to spoil anything but there is a strong emphasis on showing the reader how small actions can make a difference to someone.

Overall a touching ... and heartfelt manga that can be enjoyed by all manga readers, not just shoujo fans.

If you want to read this for the ecchi and a readable story this is for you. I say readable because I mean it is really just readable. I started this hoping it would be ecchi and take a plunge into some deep twisted psychological stuff and was disappointed when all I saw was ecchi. Some of these reviews make it seem like the next aku no hana and some really heart felt story but I would have to disagree. It's just an extremely average guy with zero personality having A LOT of sex with girls way out of his league. Oh and a ... very mysterious and attractive girl wants him but through his own idiocy he can't see that. It's just really nothing special story wise.

As for the art it's pretty good. You really get what you pay for in terms of sex scenes since they take up 75% of every chapter.

The story is weak and pretty predictable. I won't spoil things and there are plenty of other reviews giving a synapse but if you are a big fan of seinan or even just romance I wouldn't read this with high hopes.

Character building is pretty non existent. The MC is apparently a very honest guy but lies to everyone and falls in love the second he has sex with them. The girl is, as I said, mysterious and 'twisted' but somehow he falls in love with her. Not sure what it is with manga and stockholm syndrome but lots of MC's seem to have it.

TLDR; If you like ecchi then its a good read, if you are looking for a deep story look elsewhere.

So let's get this out of the way first, yes, the artwork is great. I saw some mangacaps from this and wanted to check it out because I was in the market for some romance. This definitely didn't satisfy that.

All this is is another harem manga where everyone just manipulates the women into thinking, 'hey! sharing men is great and I love this harem situation all of a sudden'. There are only 2 sensible characters in this manga, and both of them leave (which is why they're sensible). The guy is just a manipulative creep, the MC is naive but that's nothing new, and then ... there's just the stereotypical big boobed sex loving wife thrown in there for some sex scenes. It's actually hard to believe this is written by a woman.

If you want a frustrating but nice to look at harem manga, I guess this is for you, if you want something with substance then look elsewhere.
