For fans of high school dramedies filled with quirky, lovable characters, comes a comic all about love, acceptance, and navigating the chaos of high school—while keeping your secrets safe.
With his rainbow-colored hair and love of all things fashion, Arcus is anything but your average teenager. It’s the start of his sophomore year and Arcus is still trying his best to make lasting friendships (especially with Maud), pass math class, and keep his secret fashion blogger identity concealed, all while staying true to his unique sense of self.
Between hijinks at the zoo, sweet coming-out moments, and a whole lot of unrequited crushes, there’s never a dull moment at Apollo High. Everything is leading up to prom at the end of the year, where all the misunderstandings of the year will come to light, and Arcus and his classmates realize they still have a lot to discover about themselves.
This volume collects Season 2 (episodes 43 to 88) of the charming WEBTOON comic Acception.

Thank you so much to Webtoon and NetGalley for allowing me to read and enjoy this graphic novel.
I really enjoyed volume 1 so when I saw I was able to request volume 2 I jumped on it. I love how vibrant and colourful the artwork is. I love that we have all types of characters and the reader grows to love them all. We are watching all of these characters grow and learn more about themselves and each other. It’s okay to be who you want to be and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I’d absolutely recommend this series to all readers.
I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but this sequel felt a bit uneven in parts. I loved how it continues to explore different kinds of people and how they navigate the challenges of high school. It carries a strong “don’t judge a book by its cover” message, with each character having real depth and unique qualities. However, some moments in this book felt a little forced, which took me out of the story at times, especially compared to the smooth flow of the first installment.
