I've already read this online before these officially English publications came to be, so this is just a nice little revisit to these lovebirds.

Recap: creep is caught because Jia pretends to be T's gf, Ms. Ha sees the two boys kissing and spirals. T talks to her, keeps it from Haebom, before coming clean and they all talk together and eventually all is well. T also grapples with being jealous bc H is working closely with another girl. Group project turned in without the two freeloaders' names. The two boys are getting sliiiightly more physical.

so like it seems it ended on a happy note but i know there's way more chapters in the webtoon... so i have no idea where the plot is going. The next book comes out this year so we'll see x

[Grace · Rating 2 out of 5]

Taesung is so problematic. It truly feels like I'm reading a completely different series than everyone else. Everyone loves this and I just don't see why.

Gorgeous and sweet series. Love the art and the messaging. Already pre-ordered Vol 5!

[Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

The progress in their relationship was brilliant, and the way the Mother found out about their relationship was nerve wrecking. They way Taesung handled it was a bit diffrent then Haebom, but overall it was handelled really good in the end and the relationship seems even stronger now. The close relationship the Mother now has with them is both brilliant and beautiful, and so wholesome. This whole story is so nice and heart felt with only a bit of drama to keep it interesting, the art is beautiful and works so well with the story. This was so worth the read and so enjoyable of a read.

Thank you to Inklore for sending me an early copy of this book.

I adore this series, and I think we're probably going to get spicier as the series goes on, which I'm here for. If you're a fan of heartstopper, but older and potentially spicier, I'd recommend this to you. I don't want to spoil what happens in this one, but I really enjoy where this story is going and can't wait to continue.

Unfortunately, I don't understand the love for this volume. The lack of communication between the couple is odd; I am not a fan of all this hiding of my feelings, because I love them more, and they won't understand. Then, there's this boring back-and-forth jealousy with no real progression. I know it is a huge step forward for the mother to know now, but once again, it felt strange and came off as boring. I wish I could understand the hype. Maybe I am reading it wrong. 2.75/5

Fluffy cute romance for the win. They are cute together and I really liked how they worked through the issue with his mom. I feel so much for him. His mom’s self reflection and promising to do better was nice. I feel like with parents, it’s just accepted and moved on but no promise to do better or apology.

Season three starts in the next volume. ^.^

5/6 stars

I really don't get this story. Why are there so many unnecessary additions now?? All of a sudden the excuse is she's a terrible mom cause her dad wanted a grandson?? And that's why she resented Taesung?? Puhlease! That whole drama was so stupid. She has no say in their relationship! They're adults! Jfc. They all need therapy.

Sooooo cute!!! I love this! Adorable! This miscommunication had me worried for a bit-but it worked out in the end. There was one loose end with Jia taking a picture of Haebom and her and saying on a date, and it didn't feel like they got any justice.
I love my babies so badly! They are just the sweetest.

[Swathi · Rating 5 out of 5]

So this is just as good as I remember. I did read this on the web and that was after I watched the TV show which is amazing. The relationship is slow but so sweet. It really highlights how they have been slowing moving towards this since they were children.

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

When Ms. Ha found out about their relationship she went to the darkside; no eating, no sleeping, just drinking. The first chance she got she went kdrama mama crazy and told Haebom to break up with her son. He stood by his man and defended their relationship beautifully.

[Arathy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm always so excited to know more about Haebom and Taesung. This volume had them maturing and standing up for themselves, which is so heartwarming and beautiful to read about. Adorbs.
Can't wait for Vol 5, 6, 1000.

Still cute, but starting to feel more slice of life, with no direction.
