Description
Orange has become so nihilistic about her life - callous parents, shallow friends, meaningless relationships - that she decides the only way out is to kill herself. But as she is about to jump, a mysterious man stops her, convincing her there might be something to live for after all. When, several weeks later, he commits suicide himself, how will she make sense of her brutal, heartbreaking world?

The Chinese refused to publish it, saying it was too "depressing".

The actual linework was done by CHEN Weidong, while Benjamin colored it and designed the story.

From Tokyopop:
Her name is Orange. She's a young girl in high school, coming of age in the heart of the city. And she has decided she has nothing to live for. Not her shallow friends. Not her parents. Not school. Not even the empty promise of love. Her head filled with morbid fantasies of suicide, Orange finds herself standing at the edge of her rooftop when the drunken, enigmatic young man, Dashu, entered her world...changing it forever.

A heartbreaking tale of a young woman desperately trying to understand the bewildering world around her, brought to life by the luscious artwork of global manga icon, Benjamin, Orange is a profoundly moving story of loss and redemption.

What attracted me first to this was the art. It looks really pretty and dreamy, full of swirling colors that mesh together to form urban scenes in this girl's life. Of course, if you look at the categories this manga is tagged under, you'll see that this is not at all supposed to be a "cheerful school girl's life". I actually find this to be more similar to hong kong movies in the way that it depicts her life. It's definitely worth a read.
