A LiveActionAdaptation has been slated for December 2015, starring Kento Yamazaki (who also starred in the live-action adaptations of other shoujo manga such as ''Heroine Shikkaku'' and ''L-DK'') as Kakeru and Tao Tsuchiya as Naho.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Kakeru survives in the altered timeline, and everyone goes on to live their life free of the regrets that would otherwise have haunted them. But in the original timeline nothing has changed, and the manga ends with Nao saying goodbye and walking off with Suwa and their child.]]

* [[spoiler: BitterSweetEnding: Kareku survives in the altered timeline, and everyone goes on to live their life free of the regrets that would otherwise have haunted them. But in the original timeline nothing has changed, and the manga ends with Naho saying goodbye and walking off with Suwa and their child.]]

This is the situation Takamiya Naho has to confront the day she becomes a junior, when she receives a letter from herself... sent from 10 years into the future. The letter predicts everything she'll experience that day, including the transfer of Naruse Kakeru, an apparently lonely boy. The letter also tells that Kakeru will die in an accident, and that it's up to Naho to change the past and save him.

''Orange'' is a [[ShoujoDemographic shojo]] manga by Takano Ichigo. It started serialization in Bessatsu Margaret on March 2012, but after 9 chapters [[DevelopmentHell the author started having serious health problems and the series was left on hiatus for over a year]]. The author resumed publishing the series on February 2014, this time on the seinen magazine Monthly Action, over an irregular schedule until the author is completely cured. It's serialization officially ended in August, 2015, with a total of five volumes.

* AffectionateNickname: Naho's friends get Azu and Taka instead of Azusa and Takako.

* BabiesEverAfter: Future Naho and [[spoiler: Suwa]] have a child together in the original timeline.
* BadFuture: Future Naho and her friends consider they live into one, since Kakeru is dead in their timeline.

* ItsAllMyFault: Future Naho's friends believe that if they'd noticed Kakeru's loneliness sooner, his death would've been prevented.

* TitleDrop: The series is named after the flavour of the first juice Kakeru bought for Naho - orange juice.

** In the end, this trope is somewhat [[ZigzaggedTrope ZigZagged]]. [[spoiler: Kakeru still died in the original timeline, so Naho and the others from ''that'' universe played this trope straight. However in the present timeline, Kakeru survives, so in this universe they ''were'' able to fight fate. As the story itself tends towards the existence of parallel worlds with different timelines, the GrandfatherParadox suggested by Hagita doesn't exist, and now there are simply two worlds; one with Kakeru, and other without]].

* ShipperOnDeck: Azusa and Takako ship Naho/Kakeru, since they make clear that as her friends, they'd support Naho and whoever she likes. [[spoiler: For that same reason they don't actively cheer for Suwa, who's also into Naho, but aren't against him as well]]. Suwa ships them as well, as means of IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy.

* ShipperOnTheDeck: Azusa and Takako ship Naho/Kakeru, since they make clear that as her friends, they'd support Naho and whoever she likes. [[spoiler: For that same reason they don't actively cheer for Suwa, who's also into Naho, but aren't against him as well]]. Suwa ships them as well, as means of IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: The rest of the gang catches on Naho and Kakeru pretty fast. Likewise, [[spoiler: Suwa's]] feelings for Naho were always a given for the rest of the gang (including newcomer Kakeru), save for Naho herself.

* LoveTriangle: In both timelines, both Suwa [[spoiler: and Kakeru]] love Naho. In both timelines she develops a crush on [[spoiler: Kakeru]], but while she eventually starts going out with [[spoiler: Suwa]] in the original timeline, in the present one she comes to date [[spoiler: Kakeru]]

* LoveTriangle: In both timelines, both Suwa [[spoiler: and Kakeru]] love Naho. In the original timeline, she starts going out with Suwa, but in the current one, she develops a crush on [[spoiler: Kakeru]].

* YouCantFightFate: What the group is afraid of, especially Naho. When they don't follow their future selves' letters suggestions, it backfires and sets Kakeru down the path that would lead to his death. When they ''do'' follow the suggestions, they are still likely to mess up and Kakeru is still likely going to die before they finish high school.

* TheGrandfatherParadox: Hagita mentions it, stating that it could be that sending the letters to their past self ''does'' work and prevent Kakeru's death... but it becoming such a future would result in 'their present' to cease to exist, so that there would be no letters to warn their past selves about Kakeru, meaning he would die, which could result in sending letters back after all...

* ParentalAbandonment: Kakeru's parents had a divorced. His father doesn't care about him anymore, and his mother commited suicide, so he lives with his grandmother.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Azusa is always picking on Hagita, but it's very implied she has a crush on him. Their future selves don't seem to be together, but Hagita doesn't wear glasses, something Azusa always told him to do.

* BadFuture: Naho and her friends consider they live into one, since Kakeru is dead in their timeline.

* DrivenToSuicide: Kakeru's mother. [[spoiler: Later, the letters explain Kakeru's death wasn't an accident but suicide.]]

* ShrinkingViolet: Past Naho is terribly shy. Future Naho seems to be a little more extroverted and cheerful.

Everyone develops regrets as they grow up. Sometimes it's about words left unsaid, or things left undone. But sometimes, it's about someone you lost on the way.
