In this volume, more and more mental health issues revolving around the LGBTQ+ community are brought to light. Throughout this volume in particular, Nick learns of Charlie’s eating habits and how it’s affected how he functions on a day to day basis. Along with this, we learn more about Nick’s relationship with his father (who doesn’t live with him and his mom) and his brother who is briefly shown as a prick. I appreciate seeing the mental health side of being part of the LGBTQ+ community when it comes to the bullying and internal struggles one can deal with as a result, because it’s real and something a lot of people face. I’m glad to see Nick trying to help out Charlie while also dealing with his own familial problems. 

This volume focuses more on Nick’s coming out journey which is so comforting to see as someone who’s also bisexual. I can relate to his questioning and taking the time to label oneself and be comfortable with it. It’s so great to see representation and all of the cute moments happening between Nick and Charlie. 

The AU I didn’t expect! (That also rekindled my love for D:BH) This little AU comic on WEBTOONS is so adorable and for the lovers of Detroit and Heartstopper. It takes on the storyline of Connor and Hank in the game with the detective and police investigating deviant Androids, with Charlie as the detective and Nick being the golden retriever android who helps him with those cases, very much like the grumpy x sunshine trope in a developing romantic storyline. Definitely recommend for all who love either Heartstopper and/or Detroit:Become Human fans!

Adorable and lovable characters! Read before watching the first season and was so so happy to see the similarities and portrayals of these characters in both formats. It’s a beautifully written story with a lot of LGBTQ+ representation in almost all of the main characters. 

Found myself forcing myself to reading just to finish. It has some funny lines here and there but isn’t worth reading the entire series. I think watching the season is probably worth your time than reading.
