After reading this manga the past few years, my journey with this new version of Fangirl has come to an end! I loved this final part of the manga - the story was beautifully wrapped up & I loved seeing the character development from the first part to now. They’ve all grown so much and learned so much from their experiences and that was really nice to see!

Fangirl has always been my #1 comfort book and the manga truly perfectly reflects that comfort in the way that made me fall in love with the original book: by not being afraid to show you the harder parts of life, and what you can learn from them. It’s comforting in a lot of ways but to me, it’s mainly because it serves as a reminder that this is what life truly looks like. It can be messy and simple and fun and sad and mundane…

It’s a good representation of how we’re shaped by our experiences, how our pasts can affect how we navigate the world. It’s a reminder that you’re never truly alone in what you’re feeling because someone out there has felt the same way before. I’ll always love Fangirl and I’m really glad I got to read it in full in this unexpected & new way.
