Heartstopper is a British coming-of-age webcomic and graphic novel series written and illustrated by Alice Oseman. It tells the story of Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring, two teenage boys who meet at school and fall in love. The series explores themes including romance, friendship, coming out, identity and mental health. Oseman began publishing Heartstopper online on Tumblr and Tapas in 2016, before a successful Kickstarter campaign funded a print edition in 2018. The series was later published in print by Hachette Children's Group. Nick and Charlie had previously appeared in Oseman's 2014 novel Solitaire.
