Yeah this is still adorable. It's absolutely heartwarming to see Charlie and Nick's friendship bloom and get to see Nick finally have some friends who seem to actually care about him. I also love reading this having watched the show and seeing how much was taken directly from the comics and put into the show, I had these little moments of recognition every time. I also really relate to Nick's struggles with his sexuality and how lost and lonely he is, I've definitely had these moments at multiple points in my life. I truly recommend this series to everyone, whether they be LGTBQIA+ or just an ally or someone curious, I think everyone can learn something from reading this series.
