ark99's review against another edition

~I received a copy of this ebook from netgalley~
This book is basically just a manga adaption of the book, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. It has been a while since I read the book Fangirl, but I remember really enjoying it so it was fun to read this because I don't typically re-read books as I'd rather read a new book with my spare time than one I've already read. This was a really good adaption in my opinion, I really enjoyed the art style and I think the overall style with manga was a really good choice for this story. It seemed a little rushed in places but that's because it is a manga, and you can't exactly add every line and everything they do word for word. (plus it's been a while since I read the book, so I can't exactly say what was added and what wasn't but I feel like it was a little paraphrased in some places). Overall I think this was a really cute read, and I'm excited for the next volume to come out!

I read the original story a few years ago and now I plan to reread it after reading this! I need the second one ASAP.

I've never read the original book this is based off of. The only thing I've read by Rainbow Rowell is their Carry On series. ...which ended up being great because it's referenced here. I think I need to figure out how Rainbow Rowell lore works haha. I just picked up this manga because I was bored. I ended up loving it and it has made me want to read the actual book as well.

A highly condensed version of the novel Fangirl. If you are like me and have people in your life who don't normally read 400+ pages then maybe recommend this manga to them. Overall though if you where to choose between the book and the manga I'd choose the book.
The scenes and characters are exactly how I pictured them. Abel was definitely different then how I pictured him honestly looked like a recycled Levi which was okay I get it Abel was a side character. Cath's dad looked somewhat how I pictured him but not quite. I always pictured him with more gray hair and it to be more disheveled. Overall I'm enjoying the story so far.
If you are wondering how much Vol. 1 covers, the manga ends at Cath getting a phone call from Wren who is at a bar.
