A beautifully illustrated story of selfish teen angst. Orange is a teenager that's having a hard time making the transition from girl to woman. Everything is fake. Nothing matters. The story opens with her standing on the edge of a rooftop with suicide note in hand. We then backtrack to get some history on her situation, finally coming back to the opening in the end. Benjamin generally works in digital painting using a pen with a graphics tablet and image editing software. Whatever he's doing, it looks fantastic! The story is mildly irritating, as most teenagers can be. The lush art and the cuteness of the main character make it forgivable. And, lets be realistic, being a teenager really isn't easy.
