While I've read lots of comics/graphic novels before, I'm confident this is the first "manga" I've read. I imagine it's kind of a training wheels manga for Westerners given that it's still very much a Western story, written by Western folks, but I'm enjoying a lot of the artistic flourishes that seem more in line with the medium. Mostly I'm excited to have a reason to return to Fangirl after having enjoyed the hell out of it on my first read a few months ago.
