I could totally connect with Cath and what she was going through. The original book Fangirl was one I read years ago and absolutely loved it. I am so glad to be back with these characters and back into their world. I cannot wait to read the next one since this one ends on such a cliffhanger!Ī book that constantly has me smiling from every page.

Overall, this was such a warm and heartfelt read. Generally, I prefer chapters in manga to avoid it feeling like one long scene. Since this manga doesn’t use chapters, it helped separate different parts of the story. I liked that the manga followed in the book’s footsteps and used snippets from the Simon Snow books and Cath’s fan fiction. The illustrator did a phenomenal job conveying all of Cath’s emotions. The illustrator specializes in black and white manga style and that is very evident. It has those cozy vibes that makes you want to read this while curled up with a blanket and a hot beverage.

It feels like such a comfort read, probably because the book is set during the fall/winter. If I could use one word to describe this book it would be cozy. I am familiar with the story so I was able to read and understand this volume without having read volume 1. However, I have read Fangirl, the novel that this is based upon, and have always been curious about this manga adaptation.
