Fangirl, Vol. 1: The Manga

Author(s): Rainbow Rowell

Young Adult Manga (16+)

The manga adaptation of the beloved novel by #1 Bestselling author Rainbow Rowell.   "A deliciously warm-hearted nerd power ballad destined for greatness." -- New York Journal of Books   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. Now that they're in college, Cath must decide if she's ready to start living her own life. But does she even want to if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?  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.

Sasha's Review:



Cath is a Simon Snow superfan. She and her twin, Wren, have been writing hugely popular fanfiction online since the book series was published in their early childhoods - and the 8th and final novel is due soon, the same year the girls are due to begin College (University to non-Americans). Cath can't wait - but Wren doesn't seem to care the way she used to. She's more into socialising, fashion, meeting new people. Shy Cath can't understand why her twin's no longer attached at the hip and retreats further into the world of fiction - but her new room-mate (and room-mate's boyfriend!) won't be ignored.

You might have read Fangirl when it came out in 2013, but not like this. Why adapt a well-loved novel into manga? Because it's an entirely different art form, that's why! Visual in-jokes, glorious art - and if the cliffhanger is too much for you, the original is right there.


Now all we need are adaptations of Carry On Wayward Son!
