I really enjoyed the Netflix adaptation but don’t think I’m the target demographic for these graphic novels. Reading the comics makes it a little too obvious this was written by someone who isn't a man, which is personally distracting to me, whereas the adaptation helped bring the characters to life with queer boys playing the roles. The comics aren’t for me, but I’m glad it’s led to more opportunities within mainstream media.

4.5 ⭐️ this was too cute and wholesome.

this is the most wholesome thing I’ve ever read. I think it healed me 🥲

A silly little gay book that makes my silly little gay heart happy

i went into this expecting a heart-skipping-a-beat level of adorable.

and much as it hurts my hateful heart to admit it...i'd call this a success.

i hate writing graphic novel reviews, so here's a sentence:

this was cute and nice and i liked the art even if it felt like the shortest thing ever. and if the emotional aspect didn't always hit.

(bonus half sentence so i can be a grump.)

WHAT A SWEET BOY THIS BOOK IS! I can absolutely see why fans of this series are so into it: it has wonderful characters, a super sweet relationship, and constant "eee!!!" moments. <3

“You can't tell whether people are gay by what they look like. And gay or straight aren't the only two options”.¿Podemos hablar de que esta es la novela gráfica que ha surgido sobre la faz de la Tierra? Es absolutamente preciosa, pura y real. En Heartstopper nos encontramos con Nick y Charlie, dos chicos británicos que van al mismo colegio y que, a pesar de que se conocen, nunca han hablado mucho. Sin embargo, en un momento algo cambia y se empiezan a volver los mejores amigos... y quizá algo má...

4,5 estrellas.

“ADORABLE” se queda corto.

I'm here to tell you that nothing is as precious as Nick & Charlie falling for each other so do not deprive yourself of this experience.

Heartstopper started as a tiny passion project and now it's a whole book. WHAT. Nick and Charlie have been close to my heart ever since I wrote them into my first book SOLITAIRE in 2012, and I'm so, SO happy to be telling their story while also doing the thing I always said I wanted to do when I grew up - make comics.
