The manga adaptation of the beloved novel by #1 Bestselling author Rainbow Rowell! “A deliciously warm-hearted nerd power ballad destined for greatness.” — New York Journal of Books Cath is a Simon Snow fan. Okay, everybody is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a fan is her life. Cath's sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath just can't let go. Now that they’re in college, Cath must decide if she’s ready to start living her own life. But does she even want to if it means leaving Simon Snow behind? Cath doesn’t need friends IRL. She has her twin sister, Wren, and she’s a popular fanfic writer in the Simon Snow community with thousands of fans online. But now that she’s in college, Cath is completely outside of her comfort zone. There are suddenly all these new people in her life. She's got a surly roommate with a charming boyfriend, a writing professor who thinks fanfiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome new writing partner ... And she's barely heard from Wren all semester!

Fangirl, Vol. 2
Same shy-fangirl college arc in manga form, just earlier in the story, so the roommate romance is at its slow-burn beginning.
Fangirl
The original prose version of Cath's story bundled with Rowell's other YA romances, more interior and heavier on family addiction than the art-driven adaptation.
Pumpkin Heads
Same author's sweet, low-heat friends-to-lovers pining in illustrated form, but a single-night fair setting makes it lighter and quicker than Cath's year-long coming-of-age.
How to Write a Love Story
Another writer heroine using fiction to figure out real love, with the same gentle slow-burn crush; lighter and less about family fracture or addiction.
The chocolate lovers' wedding
Shares the found-family warmth and friends-to-lovers turns, but with grown women, wedding chaos and a firmer happily-ever-after.
Isla and the happily ever after
Another shy, daydreaming girl slowly circling a crush she's watched for years; slightly more physical and more romance-focused than fandom-focused.
