I got introduced to this series when Netflix released the trailer of the series adaptation and I was hooked! I had seen this series a couple of times on people's shelves, but all that ever crossed my mind was that it's name, 'Heartstopper', was quite intriguing.
After watching the trailer, I immediately fetched all the 4 volumes released back then, and read them in one night!! So you can fairly well imagine my obsession π.
I recently read the newly released 5th volume and it didn't disappoint one bit. Every volume in this series deals with a new coming-of-age topic, and here we see Nick and Charlie's journey as they move further in their relationship while dealing with Nick moving to university.
The characters Alice Oseman has developed are incredible. I adore Nick and Charlie's relationship, which is far beyond any physicality β it's pure and sweet. Watching Nick struggle with his confusion about his feelings, coming out to his friends and family, and Charlie being the most supportive while they were both a bit confused about what their relationship was β it was all so innocent and fun to read. I have seen these characters grow through the succession of graphic novels and they have such a special place in my heart. They are my favorite boys forever β€οΈβΎοΈ.
I also love the other characters and their dynamics in this story, the way they're so diverse and relatable. I love Alice Oseman's illustrations and writing π«ΆπΌ.
The only qualm I have is that this series is coming to an end and the 6th volume will be the last one ππ. I just hope that by some unworldly miracle, Alice decides to continue further with this series because I want to read so much more of Nick and Charlie π€π€!
