She added: “I have always wanted to create a book like this for Heartstopper, and I’m so excited to be making it a reality.

Speaking to Attitude, the writer teased: “It’s been really helpful to have that end point for me to kind of build towards. I’m not going to spoil anything but, it’s a happy ending – I feel like everyone knows that!” She also said, “I’ve always wanted to make a book like this for Heartstopper, and I’m so happy to be able to do it now.”I can’t wait to show readers, for the first time in a book, new and old Heartstopper artwork in full color.”

Heartstopper author Alice Oseman has previously said that her graphic novel series – which has sold more than six million copies worldwide – and its subsequent adaptation for Netflix is “more than I ever could have hoped for”. I can’t wait to share full-colour Heartstopper artwork, new and old, with readers for the first time in book form.”

Ongoing Covid restrictions, reduced air and freight capacity, high volumes and winter weather conditions are all impacting transportation and local delivery across the globe. Oseman says that the yearbook is “a mix between an annual and an art book.” It is full of “old and new Heartstopper art, stuff about how the comics are made, and a lot of behind-the-scenes information,” he says. There are things you can do, like a quiz and a guide to drawing. All kinds of fun things that Heartstopper fans will enjoy!”While you wait for Heartstopper Volume 5 to hit shelves, the Heartstopper yearbook featuring extra content from both the graphic novels and the Netflix adaptation, is already on shelves after being released in October 2022. Plot details for Heartstopper Volume 5 and Volume 6 are currently unknown, but Oseman has teased that she’s “known for ages exactly how Heartstopper is going to end.”

We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed. For more details, please consult the latest information provided by Royal Mail's International Incident Bulletin. Just being able to help someone in some small way on their journey [by representing them in her stories] is a really special thing as a creator and more than I ever could have hoped for,” she told PinkNews.
