I've now reached the part of the series that hasn't been adapted yet (well, mostly). This had some cute moments between Charlie and his family, but it's mostly an in-depth look at his struggle with mental illness. I loved seeing the way Nick is there for Charlie, and how much he cares about helping.
The bonus teacher comic was really cute as well.

This volume was an emotional read. It delved deeper into some heavy topics, for both characters. I really loved Nick's talk with his mom about how love can't cure someone of their mental illness. We shouldn't go into relationships thinking we can fix people, but accept them as they are and support them through their difficulties. Even I needed reminding of this as an adult for my own relationship. It's a valuable lesson to learn as a teen. The reason why I didn't give this five stars is because I wanted a bit more from Charlie's perspective, given he's the character going through these serious life changes. Charlie's sister Tori is a savage and I love her as well, she had some good big sister moments in this volume. I look forward to reading the novel where she's the main character in the future.

Ohhhh this was a sad one :')
In this volume, the story focuses on Charlie's journey through getting help for his mental health/recovery. We also see how Nick experiences all of this. I think it was well handled, I really enjoyed Nick's mom mini-monologue on how to help someone with mental illness/how to support them without needing to fix them. i like how Charlie's issues are linked to what he experienced previously (bullying, assault, etc.)
I liked seeing more of the family on both sides, Nick's and Charlie's.. especially Tori. She is a great character and very suportive.
This was very good, I enjoyed it much more than the previous one. While being very sad and so far probably the most serious out of all the previous installement, there are still a few sweet and cheesy moments between N & C.
Also Henry cracked me up, he looks like my dog
