Fangirl, Volume 1: The Manga
Read in one sitting. Total of maybe an hour (had to take a pumpkin mocha breve break--minus the pumpkin and the breve--so really just a cocoa break).
Beautifully adapted (by Sam Maggs) manga, illustrated by Gabi Nam, inspired by Rainbow Rowell's "Fangirl".
Which, going into the meta-fan-hole again, is a book about a fan-girl in a famous (HP-style) fandom, writing an ultra popular fanfic before the final canon-book is published that will end the Simon Snow series forever. The one by Gemma T. Leslie. Not the one by Rainbow Rowell (which will also end forever soon). As she (Cath--the fan-girl in "Fangirl") struggles with her first year of college, of being away from home, of making friends, of writing fanfic with having a top-notch-writing-prof who doesn't believe in fanfic (idiots). All the while finding herself, finding friends, and finding love.
Annnnyway. This very first volume (1/4) covers Cath's first day of college all the way to her first emergency dance party. It stops right after she receives the 911 text from her twin-y, Wren. Just to give you a non-spoils incite on how this book runs alongside the original Rowell text.
And now I'm off to re-read Fangirl. Because why not. Because I need more Snowbaz in my life (always). I mean, that's the whole premise with Cath (Simon and Baz are the one thing that is untouchable, something that never fails to make her happy and calm and scream more than anything/anyone--same, girl, same). Annnnd those two fools (sorry Bazzy, but when it comes to Simon, you're head-over-heels-stupid) are the reason we know have our very own, real-life Simon Snow series (because Rainbow couldn't get them out of her head either--I mean, who can).
