Another great edition in the fangirl manga - I really enjoyed reading the original story and I think as adaptations go this is very faithful. It contains the original story but with pacing and dialogue to make it fit the manga genre.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

For a book I could never get into, I surely do love the graphic novels. At the end of the last book Catherine went home because her dad had medical issues. She’s down on herself after seeing Levi kiss another girl and she does not want to go back to school. But her dad is smart and won’t let his issues get in her way. This book is both about Levi and Catherine but also the Simon/Snow fanfiction that she writes. It’s also about Catherine’s inability to come up with her own ideas. This is a fun tongue-in-cheek manga that makes you want to know what happens next and book four can’t get here fast enough.

The next installment of the Fangirl manga proves to be just as good as the previous two.

This volume tackles the end of the first semester into the start of the second on, when Cath and Wren argue about reconnecting with their mother and boy, does it do it well.

It’s amazing how well this story lends itself to be adapted into a manga, something I don’t think I would have thought of on my own. The characters really do come alive in this and I think not having so much of Cath’s internal narration really helps. We can see her expressions on her face to know how she feels about Levi, Wren, and Reagan.

I genuinely cannot wait to read all of these volumes as they come out because they’re so great.

I hadn’t expected to have much to say about the third volume of Fangirl. It’s part 3 of 4, after all, so it’s supposed to just be getting the characters in place for the upcoming conclusion, right?

Certainly, everything’s going wrong for Cath, fanfic writer and new college student. She isn’t sure whether Levi is a friend or a potential boyfriend, particularly now that she’s seen him kissing someone else. She’s gone from writing with her sister to a classmate, Nick, who doesn’t realize that all her years of fic writing have actually taught her some things. Then he decides the story they’ve been working on together is his.

The author, Rainbow Rowell, uses these setbacks to say some interesting things about the characters, and moreover, the art of writing. What it takes to get it done. What happens when someone reacts to your work. How transformative works relate to “canon”, the “proper” book.

There’s a lot to think about, in Cath’s struggles. One that really struck me was the difference between making a decision and giving up, and figuring out how to know the difference. Another is when she tells her professor that she’d rather pour herself into a world she already loves than try to make up something out of nothing.

I loved the novel, but it’s even more fun to see the story and characters illustrated, particularly as Rowell is making small tweaks.

I've already read both the first two manga volumes of Fangirl, as well as the actual novel itself. Rainbow Rowell has always been one of my favorite authors and I just love the fact that she was the one to adapt this wonderful novel into the manga version. Anybody else would not have done this book justice. The art is so cute and feels a bit early 2000s manga, also like Svetlana Chmakova. I especally felt the impact of the art in this volume, as the story is really heating up and has almost reached its climax. I'm so excited for the next volume to come out.

I loved the previous 2 books of this manga series, and this certainly doesn't disappoint. Great book and I can't wait for the next one!

Another fabulous addition to the manga series! Definitely a worthy adaption of a fabulous novel that can still stand on its own as a manga. The cliffhanger endings always leave me desperate for more even though I've already read the novel.

Another great volume in this masterfully done graphic novel adaptation. I’m looking forward to the final volume.

As always a great adaptation to the Fangirl novel. This made me go back and read the original material, so RIP my sleep schedule.

Thanks so much NetGalley, VIZ Media, and VIZ Media LLC for access to this arc!

5/5 stars!

I am so invested in this story now lol. I'm glad I stuck with it, I didn't like the first volume much at all and as it keeps going its getting so much more interesting. I'm loving the character growth in this volume, and how much Cath is coming out of her shell. I'm so glad she and Levi have been working through their stuff, I've really been rooting for them ;D the art, as usual, is really lovely. And the cliffhanger this ends on! RUDE WHEN IS VOLUME FOUR COMING??

**Disclaimer: I recieved a free eARC of this through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this opportunity.  I found the characters really interesting.  It's fun to spend time with Cath and Levi again, and to see their romance develop further.  I like Cath a lot, and her story makes me very emotional.   The art is well done, and I love how the characters are designed.

Ah!! This was so good. The artwork and the adaptation of the novel are top tier. I will be impatiently awaiting the next volume. Levi supremacy!

What a fun read. Fans of the original are sure to love it, and newcomers to the story are in for a fun time!

Fangirl Vol.3 is such a lovely manga for readers to enjoy, the addition of the Simon Snow characters is really what makes it magical for me. Having loved fangirl and the Simon Snow series, having all of these characters back in my life is just like seeing old friends from college again.

Overall 5 star read for me.

Very much enjoyed this 3rd volume of the series. I haven't read the novels so the story is all new to me and it is very refreshing. I hadn't enjoyed the 2nd so much as it was more heavily set on the romance. This volume goes back to the center of the story, the loneliness of the main character once her twin made it clear she wants to have her own experiences, more on the history of mental illness in the family, and the strained relationships between each of the members especially towards the estranged mother. This manages to be feel good while dealing with some very heavy topics, great manga style comic.

I really enjoyed this installment of the adaptation—I love the original book and I don’t read much manga but once I settled into the rhythm I really enjoyed it! It’s a great format for the story and the art is very pleasant to look at.

I received an eARC of this title through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I liked this volume. It felt short, but I also loved the original story by Rainbow Rowell so I may be biased. The art is great and consistent. I love the short little bits with Simon and Baz. The ending of this volume was good. Keeps you guessing and wanting to learn more about Cathy and her sister's relationship.

I love the book fangirl and the universe it’s created that has come alive in carry on and the following books. So having the opportunity to read the fangirl graphic novel is absolutely amazing and I loved it.

Latest graphic novel in the series is as entertaining as the first two. Both the story and the story within the story are engaging.

To this day, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell is one of my favorite books and I love each of the manga installments that have come out thus far. This volume picks up after the disaster of a kiss scene in book 2.

After lots of avoiding and long awkward silences everything between Cath and Levi (and ultimately Reagan) get resolved. Which means we get lots of cute Cath and Levi date scenes. Woot!

Meanwhile Cath and her sister still haven't made up. College and issues with their mother seem to keep the rift between them going, but everything comes to a head around Christmas. Cath's dad is doing better, but Laura looms ever present on the horizon. Until Cath gets a call, and it isn't from her sister...duh duh duh! How will she react?

Can she cope with the new and tumultuous emotions she is feeling.?
