Heartstopper: Volume One

This may not be the most realistic story ever because very unpleasant characters seem to understand their mistakes quite well, which isn't usually the case but honestly I don't care about details like that because I read this purely for escapism and I LOVED IT, THIS WAS SO BINGEWORTHY AND WHOLESOME!!

4.5 Estrella.

Tanto para el volumen uno como para el volumen dos mi opinión es la misma. Alguno de los aspectos positivos que le encuentro a esta novela gráfica son: Primero en principal las representaciones homosexuales, bisexuales y transexuales; A mi parecer están muy bien escritas y representadas, hay un nivel informacional muy grande en los volúmenes que me pareció estupendo para la gente que lo lee y no esta bien informada sobre algunos aspectos LGBTQ+ .

Otro de los aspectos que me gusto fue las relaciones de los personajes principales, sus familias, y sus amigos. Por más que en algunas partes, uno de los amigos o el hermano se comporten de manera homofobica, esta muy bien redactado y solucionado. En cuestión de sistemas, como la escuela, esto me hizo muy feliz porque esta maravillosamente tocado el tema del respeto y la diversidad por los profesores.

En relación a los dibujos, todos ellos eran extremadamente tiernos, la novela gráfica estaba muy bien diseñada, y se podía entender cada momento, agregaba elementos como las caras de los personajes en las burbujas cuando ellos no estaban presentes en la viñeta y también me encanto la forma en que la escritora maximizaba o exageraba los momentos importantes o significativos que te hacían entibiar el corazón.

This was super cute and sweet! I've been seeing this graphic novel everywhere lately, so when I saw that my public library had copies, I figured I'd give it a shot. I was surprised by how quickly this can be read. This is mostly because there's very little dialogue, and the pages have a lot of blank spaces. However, this is not a bad thing. I think that it adds to the slow build up of feelings for the characters. The ‘silence' allows us as readers to take in the events as they unfold and ‘breathe' in between each scene, which is nice. It feels as though you are a part of the story.

The characters themselves are very loveable, mainly Charlie and Nick (of course). This first volume focused on their blooming friendship despite their apparent differences (Nick is older and in another grade, he's also a jock and very popular, while Charlie is the exact opposite of these things). There wasn't much focus placed on the other characters, except Ben, the default antagonist, but they seemed to be all right and supportive of whatever the situation. Tao's protectiveness over Charlie was especially endearing, and Charlie's older sister was nice too.

So far, this series is off to a good start, and I'm excited to see where it will go.

1-1 his new crush looks surprisingly similar to this current boyfriend huhuhu. He has a type ^^

1-3 omg this actual boyfriend is a bully. Calling him ““useless”” because he hasn't answered a text message. That's some verbal abuse. I am glad he won't stay long with this one!

1-5 omg Ben is scary! I'm so glad Nick diverted everyone's attention and that it didn't go further!! Also, it was so cute when Nick was fixated on Charlie running huhuhu

1-6 Nick is trying to find an excuse to spend more time with Charlie huhuhu. Also, drummers are cool

1-8 omg this is too cuuuuute

1-12 Omg I so scared when he went to meet with Ben again! This guy is such a jerk omg I want to punch him. Nick is the best, and now he has the face of Charlie stuck in his mind huhuhu He likes him, he likes him!!

Well well well, I read the entire Heartstopper series (1-4) I care so much for Charlie and Nick omg omg omg
