What is Heartstopper Volume 6 about?
Like Heartstopper Forever, the final book instalment will follow the same plot, exploring the prospect of a long-distance relationship as Nick heads to university while Charlie stays behind at Truham Grammar School.
Announcing their book tour on social media yesterday (18 June), Oseman spoke about the impact the coming-of-age franchise has had on audiences across the globe.
“I love how Heartstopper has brought people together and fan-led events are also popping up in communities across the world,” Oseman wrote.
