A heart-wrenching debut to a wonderful series, leaving me hungry for volume 2! Oseman's simplistic style helps the pages fly by as the great will-they-won't-they unfolds at Truman Grammar School for Boys.

This was a re-read in preparation for the TV adaptation releasing TONIGHT!!! As expected, I gave it five stars again. This first instalment was lighthearted and so adorable. I also love the way Oseman arranges their panels.

[apr 22]: rereading just for the tv show </3

rly cute w/ a dose of sadly realistic stuff that comes w/ being lgbtq+ like bullying, fetishization, homophobia, etc. this volume covers the basic story so nothing's delved in to deep yet, but it's refreshing to see questioning one's sexuality represented in nick here.

 Why does he always say hello to me every single morning? Is it a joke? Is it like the guys who used to bully me last year all over again? He's probably just making fun of me. Why else would he talk to me? He's not even in my year group. He probably thinks I'm gonna hit on him or something.

I almost DNF'd this, but then I didn't, and I'm glad.

Heartstopper is wholesome and genuine in its storytelling. We follow two boys, Charlie and Nick, as they are randomly assigned as seatmates in class. The two are very different: Charlie is a skinny underclassmen who experienced bullying after being outed as gay while Nick is a popular upperclassmen who plays on the lacrosse team, but that doesn't stop the two from slowly becoming close friends.

It's hard to say too much about this story other than that I really enjoyed it. Their friendship and their feelings towards each other are so genuine and pure. There is something so wholesome about the way these two defend and support each other, how they bring out the best in each other, how they give each other courage and insight into their own identities.

I get the hype on this one. I really do.
