A very nice reread after following the updates for several years (I can't quite remember how far the story had gotten when I first picked it up). Even though the series tackles very serious topics, it'll always make you feel good in the end.

A heart-wrenching debut to a wonderful series, leaving me hungry for volume 2! Oseman's simplistic style helps the pages fly by as the great will-they-won't-they unfolds at Truman Grammar School for Boys.

A scene has a character try to force another character to kiss them while claiming that the other character "wants it" which is very reminiscent of sexual assault. Another character breaks the two up before anything too serious happens.

Watched the whole show and read the whole thing within a day. I found the characters relatable, and realistically flawed, and fell in love with every single one of them, as well as the art and the story. Can't wait for more :))

I really don't need to say much. It's too cute for its own good at this point. Hit up webtoons if your stores are out of copies.
