Heartstopper (Volume 1)

Story and Art: Alice Oseman

Summary from Amazon:

Shy and softhearted Charlie Spring sits next to rugby player Nick Nelson in class one morning. A warm and intimate friendship follows, and that soon develops into something more for Charlie, who doesn’t think he has a chance.

But Nick is struggling with feelings of his own, and as the two grow closer and take on the ups and downs of high school, they come to understand the surprising and delightful ways in which love works.

So I blame the Netflix show for my latest addiction called Heartstopper. I’ve rewatched the series three times now, but I still couldn’t get enough of it. Since the second and third seasons are still in progress, I thought I’d use that time to catch up on the webcomic instead.

Summary from futekiya

To his teachers, classmates, and parents, Uemura is a model student. But, that is hardly the truth. Beneath his serious exterior, Uemura loves masturbating more than anything else and spends his day thinking dirty thoughts. His facade as a serious student slips when his playboy underclassman, Matsuoka, catches him at school jacking off to dirty panties. Has Uemura finally found someone who can accept his true self?

What prompted me to read this was the contrast between the title and the cover. The title roughly translates “Uemura-kun is a Good Boy,” but the cover I saw was this?
