Fangirl, Vol. 1 (Fangirl: The Manga, #1)

by Rainbow Rowell and Sam Maggs

The manga adaptation of the beloved novel featuring all-new scenes by Rainbow Rowell!

“A deliciously warm-hearted nerd power ballad destined for greatness.”
New York Journal of Books on the Fangirl novel

Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, everybody is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life. Cath’s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath just can’t let go…

Cath doesn’t need friends IRL. She has her twin sister, Wren, and she’s a popular fanfic writer in the Simon Snow community with thousands of fans online. But now that she’s in college, Cath is completely outside of her comfort zone. There are suddenly all these new people in her life. She’s got a surly roommate with a charming boyfriend, a writing professor who thinks fanfiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome new writing partner…

And she’s barely heard from Wren all semester!

Manga + Fangirl = Perfection

I was so excited when I saw this was being made into a manga, I really enjoyed Fangirl when I first read it and then fell HARD for Carry On and Wayward Son...this was the cherry on top I didn't know I needed.

I think the story translates really well into a manga and ofcourse it helps that the illustrations are gorgeous. It feels so different reading it like this that I almost felt like I was meeting Cath, Levi, Wren and Reagan for the first time. Loved it!

Thank you Netgalley and VIZ Media for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
