Koda Bensen has been alone for too long. After falling in love with Heartstopper, he now realises that he's never had a friend who actually cared about him and how he feels. He tries getting over it, but his deprivation is too heavy for him, and he ends up ditching class, and meets someone who he assumes to be another dick, but slowly realises that he might not be. This story takes place at a public school. So it's not just boys there. But to Koda, it feels so male dominated. This is set in a universe where Heartstopper is fictional. It's not in the same universe as Heartstopper.
