It’s been months since we got the cutest LGBTQIA+ show ever. And no, we are definitely not watching it right now as we write this. [Don’t trust us] This couple has invented the most romantic word to ever exist. Because “Hi” certainly never sounded so good before. From the “hi” that could give us butterflies as if we have never fallen in love before to the secret glances and that smiley on Charlie’s hand, this couple was born with the intention to destroy the viewers with their cuteness.
Or should we say, made to stop our hearts? They really took the title literally and made the show that stopped our hearts. If you haven’t already guessed who we are talking about, go watch the series or read the books before you read our article because it’s a crime that you haven’t done already!
And to those who already know the couple, we are sending you a warm hug because we know it’s exhausting waiting for another installment of our favorite series and book series. As a reader who has already read graphic novels and watched the show, we finished it in a day, forgetting about our sleeping schedule, but when you are a reader, who cares about stupid things like sleep, right? So, as a reader who has read and binge-watched the series to the point where we can jump up to defend these characters before defending ourselves, we can say that this series has exceeded our expectations.
A reader’s worst nightmare is seeing the characters they adore being turned into something they absolutely are not. The Hunger Games, we are looking at you. But this series, it was so much better. The show makers knew what they were doing and did it impeccably. From the rainbows and leafs flowing in the air to the characters and vibe of the overall show to Nick yelling that Charlie is his boyfriend to anyone who would hear, it’s hard to ignore its perfection.
Also, can we appreciate the fact that the actors are actually teenagers in a show that’s set in high school? And let’s not forget that they were even seen supporting the LGBTQIA+ community during London Pride Month. Now, that’s the kind of actors we’d love to see in our favorite shows and movies.
But now, let us jump back to the topic of discussion that is- the release of the Heartstopper Volume Five. The last book, Heartstopper Volume Four ended quite differently than we had expected. However, we won’t spoil it for you. We are as eager to read the next volume as you are.

Physical copies of these books are also available in the market. The writer started publishing Heartstopper as a webcomic on Tumblr and Tapas in September 2016. It follows the story of Charlie Spring, who is asked by his teacher to sit next to Nick Nelson. They both become friends and eventually fall in love, but their path is filled with obstacles as Charlie has been out, but Nick is a straight boy. As Nick develops feelings for Charlie, he begins to question his sexuality.
How Many Volumes Does Heartstopper Have?
There are four volumes that follow Charlie and Nick along with their friends. The first volume follows the couple as they meet for the very first time, get to know each other, and become friends. In the second volume, Nick begins to fall for Charlie and starts questioning his sexuality. The third volume follows them as a couple, and they travel to Paris on a school trip with all of their friends. Nick prepares to come out to his father while Charlie battles an eating disorder in the fourth volume. The fifth volume will follow what becomes of this couple as they deal with their own battles.
Release Date Of The Fifth Volume
The expected publication date for the fifth volume, according to Goodreads, is 2nd February 2023. The fifth volume has already earned a 4.63 rating on Goodreads, and more than two hundred comments have been made on the book. The cover is yet to be revealed of the book, but that didn’t stop readers from adding it to their TBR. Well, February seems too far, but we will have to wait before we get this last book in the series. At least we have the show and books to re-read and re-watch when we miss them!
