The art in this >>>

The story in this book was so interesting, the idea behind it drew me in when I first read the blurb and kept me interested in the story and leaves me wanting more.

I love their friendship (romance?) and how cute they are together.

I really don’t trust that nurse lady though, she just seems really shady

But what drew me in before even reading the blurb was the art style, I saw the cover and loved the drawings, they seemed to reflect the characters so well, the cuteness of the art style matched the story but also made me truly understand how young the characters are, and how much they have gone through for someone their age.

Thank you to NetGalley for the free review copy. All opinions are my own.

This was the literal cutest thing ever.

The characters felt so fleshed out, so real, and their story was everything.

The depth to their emotions, their thoughts and everything that they went though 😭

And the romance was so cute, I love how they got to know each other, and their interests and really started opening up to each other, it was so cute <3

The only issue I had was with a few of the scenes were slightly confusing to me, but that might just be because I don’t read much manga.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for something that is as good as Heartstopper <3

This book was so cute! The first thing I noticed was the art style and I loved it, the way the characters are adorable and seem to have their own personality. Then I started following some of the tutorials in the book and I was amazed. It felt so incredibly easy to draw the characters with such detailed step-by-step instructions as well as so much inspiration to make your own character.
