These manga volumes get better with every one released. Even though I have read Fangirl and loved it, I feel like I get a different experience from the manga. It focuses on different aspects of Cath's life and the art is wonderful. I'm also adoring the building relationship of Levi and Cath.

Continuing from the first book's cliffhanger ending, Cath and Levi think they're coming to the rescue of her twin sister, Wren. When Cath shows up only to have Wren blow her off, things just seem to get worse. Wren doesn't have the time for her anymore and they are drifting apart. Cath finds herself attracted to her roommate's boyfriend and spending more time alone with him in her room. At the same time, Cath is struggling with her creative writing course and now her mother wants to be back in her life. The hits just keep on coming.

The sequel is just as entertaining as the first volume. The pacing is well done and leaves you wanting more. My only hang up is the occasional back and forth between Cath's life and her fanfic characters. It's a bit distracting and throws me back out of the story from time to time. And of course, it stops on another cliffhanger. I'll be waiting for volume 3.

I really love the original book that this manga is based on, so I really enjoyed this! The quality was excellent! I'm so excited to see more!

I enjoyed this second volume of the Fangirl manga adaptation. It leaves out details from the novel so I'm not sure how much depth the plot has, if you don't have previous knowledge of what's going on. The art is lovely and I love the Simon Snow fanfiction inserts that break up Cath's story. It ends on a cliffhanger, much like the last one, so it feels a bit abrupt. But I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to resolve it in book 3. Thank you for the opportunity to read an e-ARC of this graphic novel!

This adaption continues to be so fun and wonderful to see illustrated. We see more development between Cath and Wren, but this volume continues to focus on the relationship between Levi and Cath. Levi is such a sweet character and seeing Cath's Simon Snow fanfiction drawn out is super special. It's a story within a story. It does have a cliffhanger ending that is a bit brutal but if you read the novel after it wont be such a long wait. I really can't wait to see the next volume illustrated though. I already preordered this volume as well. This is worth collecting.



Special thanks to NetGalley and Viz Media for sharing this ARC with me in exchange for my honest review.

Although a continuation of Book 1 and the previous novel, there seems to be an inconsistency when it comes to the narrative. It is an enjoyable read, but it seems that the stereotypes are still quite coarse and rough. There is a lot of fanfiction terms and grammar, which a person who is not accustomed may not understand.

I've read Fangirl more times than I can count and yet I'm still getting the first time reading butterflies with this graphic novel series. They stayed so true to Rowells text and yet the visuals add so much depth and wonderfulness to the story. I love seeing Levi and Caths connections in the art. Literal perfection. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review

I had to read this almost as soon as I got approved, I loved volume 1 that much!
However, I did struggle a bit with this one. I felt like there were too many Simon & Baz cut scenes and they were too long. I just don't care about them that much. >.<
However, the romance is starting and this volume ends on a major cliffhanger. I'm about to scream for real.
Cannot wait for volume 3.

I loved the chapter book by Rainbow Rowell and this manga is a great interpretation of that story. The characters feel full and alive the manga format allows readers to see their emotions and understand the details in the writing. I am devastated that I can't read more! I need the 3rd and 4th volumes now!

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced readers copy!

This was a very good continuance of the story!

I think where this adaptation really shines in where they choose to end the volumes so as to give the most amount of tension and incentive to continue reading. The first volume ends with an SOS text, and this ends with an emotionally devastating moment for Cath.

I mentioned this about Volume 1, but I feel like they really continued with it (so it is worth mentioning again), but the graphic novel really shows in an explicit way how judgemental and self-centred Cath can be in a way the books kind of gloss over. Cath does not want Wren to meet her mother because of her own feelings about the subject. Regardless of the readers and Cather's opinon on Wren's spiralling while at college, it is ultimately Wren's decision and Cather's judgement of it unwelcome. Cather is judgemental of Levi not being a "reader." Her professor just does not "get" fan fiction or fandom. Nothing is every Cather's fault.
The manga shows how co-dependant Cather is in a really interesting way.

I imagine that this will be a 4 volume series, with the third volume more heavily focusing on the distance between Wren and Cather (I can already imagine that the last cover will be Cather and Levi together).

Really love this series! Can't wait for the next installment!

hanks to Net Galley for the ARC of this book that, once again, I didn’t know I needed but now that I have, I an so glad exists. I keep having a hard time squaring that this person, Cath, wrote the Carry On series. The third one was so far afield from where the fan fiction begins here. It is nice to be back in Cath’s world. The art is so good. The pacing is spot on. This is just what we need.

Fangirl is one of my all time favorite books so I was super excited when it was announced that they would make it into a manga! I have the first volume and you can bet money that I will buy the second volume as soon as it comes out in stores.

The plot is the same as the books, so there isn't much of a difference there but the art and the characters are so beautifully done that its almost as if I haven't read it a million times before. Also, the person in charge of splitting each volume up does a frustratingly wonderful job with cliffhangers. Each volume lands on a dramatic situation that leaves you wanting more even as you know what happens next. Especially this volume! I was so excited to get into the drama of Cath and Levi's relationship! But was disappointed and impressed with where they left it. I will now be thinking about this volume for months as I wait for volume three to be released.

Thank you to Netgalley and VIZ for an advance copy of Fangirl Vol. 2!

It's hard to believe that it's been nearly a decade since I first read the original Fangirl novel, and revisiting it in the new manga format has been lovely! As with the previous installment, the manga is accessible for anyone to pick up, regardless of having read the novel first. Fantastic adaptation, TERRIBLE cliffhanger, but I expect nothing less. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

I'll always be a fan of graphic novel/manga adaptations of books. I loved Fangirl and I love reading this version!

This sequel (based on Rainbow Rowell's YA book) was a fun and fast read that continues the story of Cath as she navigates her new world as a college freshman and separated from her twin sister Wren. I frequently wanted to hug Cath and yell at Wren, which I remember also being true as I read the original book years ago. The characters are real and endearing and this was a sweet follow-up to Vol. 1. I look forward to the next 2 volumes (in the near future hopefully)!

Fangirl is one of my favorite YA books by far, and I'm so so so happy that it's being adapted into a manga! The artwork is adorable, and I'm so happy to be able to read one of my favorite books in a new medium. I binged this in less than 2 hours, and it gave me so many happy, cozy vibes. Seeing some of my favorite characters brought to life in a manga brings me so much joy. I can't wait for volumes 3 and 4!!! 5/5 stars

I adored this second installment of Fangirl's Manga adaption!! It had some of my favourite parts from the book in it. I love when Cath starts reading Levi her fanfiction, and how invested he gets in it. Also, love seeing more of the family dynamic between Cath, Wren, and their dad. Cath reading The Outsiders to Levi, and them cuddling and having their first kiss!! I getting to see that scene in manga format. I think leaving it on the cliffhanger with Levi kissing another girl at his party was a great spot to leave Vol. 2. I can't wait for the next volume!! Fangirl is still one of my favourite YA books, so getting to revisit it in this format has been such a treat!

I have read the book after reading the first volume in this series and I think the manga holds up to the original story really well! I still think the artwork in this is fantastic and the story has me hooked despite already knowing what's going to happen.

A lot of smaller details of the original story are left out in the manga. This makes the whole of the story seem a bit thin. We still don't know too much about Cath's father and about her roommate. I doubt there will be more details about them in further volumes. Despite this, the manga's story held up well and I look forward to reading the next one!

There is something terrifying and thrilling about watching a book you love be adapted into another medium. In this case, it is thrilling and satisfying! I adore the adaptation thus far and can't wait to see what comes next!

Yet another cliffhanger! I really love the art style for this manga, and feel that it’s doing a great job adapting the Fangirl book. I can’t wait for the next volume!! Have to see how Cath reacts to him now.
