finale (for now)

Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman

June 5, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

CW: quite a few, scroll all the way down here https://aliceoseman.com/extras/conten… To finish up my review of this delightful series, which will be finishing later this year with a fifth and final volume: things have gotten rough but I think the relationship at the core of these volumes (Charlie/Nick) lacks the strength to handle the weighty issues that Oseman is contemplating. I will freely admit that I have a bit of bias around stories that involve 16-17-18 year olds having Big Weighty Decisions, but in this […]

things do take a turn for the worse

Heartstopper Volume 3 by Alice Oseman

June 5, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

CW: homophobia, reference to past transphobia as before, but newly we have eating disorders, reference to past self harm, past bullying As you can tell from the content warnings, things are getting serious and not in a cute “will you be my boyfriend” sort of way. Charlie has deep seated demons that are coming to light, and Nick has his issues as well. Before we get there, though, there’s a fun jaunt to Paris (because this is a UK based school, in case you forget, […]

make sure you queue up this volume after the first

Heartstopper Volume 2 by Alice Oseman

June 5, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Herein we have the finale of the Charlie/Nick happy times story (spoiler alert: they get together). This takes us through the second part of the TV series [from after the kiss to when Nick comes out to The Queen his mom]. Much has been written about Heartstoppers being part of the “next generation” of mainstream queer stories–in a nutshell, these are stories not about coming out as queer, but about what happens afterwards. There are century if not millennia of stories about heterosexual relationships, with all sorts […]

hop on the heartstoppers is over for now but I’m obsessed train!

Heartstoppers Volume 1 by Alice Oseman

June 5, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

CW: mild homophobia from clearly delineated villain characters, briefly mentioned past transphobia (I think, it might have been in a later edition) Yes, I did read this after watching the Netflix show. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for? I think it’s basically a test for androids to see if you find it adorable or EXTRA adorable. First, a public service announcement: you cannot get just this edition, or you will be bereft as it ends on a cliffhanger (if you’ve watched the show: [it […]

Some triggers to mental health issues, self-harm and eating disorders. Heartstopper Volumes One to Four are now out. And when Volume Five arrives, this will be the last book. So do I wait or try and finish on WebToons, as now I really want to know what happens with the gang! In Volume Three of Alice Oseman’s series of Nick and Charlie, two teens who find each other and find out about themselves we start to expand outside the school setting and into Paris, where […]

Sequel love

Heartstopper: Volume Two by Alice Oseman

Asadora! V03 by Naoki Urasawa

Magical History Tour #9: The Titanic by Fabrice Erre

March 24, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

It is rare a sequel is as good as the first. However, sometimes there is one that you like even more “just because” you do. Maybe it is because the character is your favorite, or maybe it is because you relate to the character, or the author really got into the story and is moving things along. These three books may or may not better than the first, but they are just as good. I was able to relate to Nick in Heartstopper: Volume Two. […]
