The Heartstopper series continues to be absolutely adorable within volume 2. The pace just feels so natural and comfortable. There's a wide range of characters who seem to have a mix of the same, similar of different experiences that allow them to be friends. The friendship group doesn't feel forced and unnatural, but I stead feels comfortable and natural.

Alice Oseman is hugely talented and it shows how much she truly cares for the characters within the Heartstopper universe. She's clearly put time and effort into the series and seems to truly care about giving accurate and much appreciated representation to the LGBT+ community.

The characters and their relationships appear to be well thought out and fleshed out before being placed within the story itself.
Speaking of the story, the story itself appears to be well considered and thought out, each plot line, every plot development, how the characters fit in and the roles and actions of everyone with the story.

I would have appreciated some trigger warnings at the beginning though despite the minor mentions of it. There's just something in it that's mentioned a few times that's.......well personal but still. I would have appreciated some trigger warnings despite only one of the potentially triggering things in it being a personal trigger. Other than that the novella is phenomenal.

I really don't need to say much. It's too cute for its own good at this point. Hit up webtoons if your stores are out of copies.
