This story wrapped so beautifully. I’m excited to watch the anime! Also, the short story at the end was very funny - a nice change of pace.

This is such a good story about friendship and love and helping each other. Stories like this just get to me. Something about how the older group is still sending the letters and trying help, even though it won't change their timeline, because it's enough to know he's okay somewhere. 
I liked the open-ish ending, how it's not made clear that he is safe because he is still struggeling. But at the same time he knows his friends are there and the will do their best to help him.
I also like how this story talks about regret and how it iis part of life. That even if we'd know the future, we'd still have regrets and make mistakes.

ah this manga was so emotional but so heartwarming !! it ended a bit abruptly for me I do wish there was some sort of epilogue, but the ending was just so heart wrenching in many ways. im happy with the story overall and can’t wait to watch the anime to see how it was adapted !

omg i just love orange 

i’m not sure how i feel about them explaining how they got the letters to their past selves. i just thought the explanation or method they said was kinda stupid. but other than that it was a really nice read that made me sad.

 

god i love relating to characters in books, but god it really hurts to sympathize or empathize with a character. i like the whole thought about how you can change the future, and nothing is set in stone to go a certain way. it made me feel hopeful about things.

5.0

 I loved this! "orange juice was sweet, yet sour the taste of sorrow" 
 It is the perfect mix of contemporary and science fiction. The added element that makes you think what if and still leaves enough of the real life interactions. The characters are real and relatable.
This story pulled at my heart strings. 

"To my future self ... Thank you"

I kind of liked the first one better and the ending in this one felt kind of rushed but this was still so beautiful. This series and these characters have my whole heart. Protect them at all costs.
