The Heartstopper Yearbook by Alice Oseman
5.0
A companion guide to the "Heartstopper" series featuring new mini-comics, full color character art, and so much more!
This was honestly a pretty neat book to page through. Seeing the cast of characters rendered in full color was really neat and seeing some of the iconic scenes brought to life in vibrant colors was also cool. The AU art section was one of my favorites, as was seeing Charlie as a young child. The fact that Charlie has had Kitty forever and that he brought it everywhere when he was little seriously melted my heart.
None of the facts about the characters were surprising in any way, but it was cool to hear Oseman give behind the scenes tidbits on her creative process and some insight on why she created each character. Many of the characters in "Heartstopper" were created for her earlier projects such as "Solitaire" and "Radio Silence," so hearing her talk about some of the background on these characters was neat.
As always, the mini-comics are great. "The Teachers," "Moments," and "Girlfriends" all offer just a little more insight on many of the characters early moments in the series. Though it should be noted that spoilers will occur from diving in this yearbook before reading at least until the end of volume three.
Overall, "The Heartstopper Yearbook" is a quick stroll down memory lane with Alice Oseman themself. It's neat to hear all of their insider information and insights on how they created such an iconic universe with beloved characters. Seeing the full cast of characters brought to life in full color is also pretty cool, especially when given the opportunity to observe just how far Oseman's art has come over the years. I would definitely recommend superfans of this series check this one out.
