Someone who's seeing the protagonist in the beginning of the comic is verbally abusive. At one point, he pins the protagonist against the wall during pages 78 - 82 (1 - 10 to 1 - 11 on webtoon). Technically, they aren't dating and he's never physically violent other than that moment.

Spoiler Warning: In Chapter 7, it’s insinuated that Charlie’s mom was slapped as a child by her mother. It’s kinda shown as well.

Charlie passes out in book 3 when they are exploring Paris. It's only for a few seconds and he isn't hurt. It's on the day when Nick packs him a croissant to eat later.

My fav thing about this book. Alice writes the characters in a way where they're not sexualized. Just a mlm teen romance, nothing sexual about it

On page 863 (I dont know what volume but it's 4 - 36 online), a character vomits. It's not really gross or graphic, and she turns away to do it. Vomit is mentioned on page 891 (4 - 40).

The main character mentions dealing with a self harm problem in the past. Later in the comic, he relapses and is hospitalized. There’s a lot of discussion of his recovery after this point, and it’s important to note that as of the most recent update of the comic (Feb. 1st 2021), there’s been no visual depictions of self harm/explicit scenes showing the character self harming

The main character struggles with anorexia. It’s hinted at throughout the first half of the comic, and eventually there’s a scene where he passes out due to starvation/exhaustion. There’s a lot of scenes that depict him struggling to eat/skipping meals, and eventually he stays at the hospital for a few months for recovery.

No shaky cam (obviously), but there is a part on page 766 & 767 (4 - 26), where things are drawn wobbly and blurry to communicate that the protagonist is passing out.

Characters are bullied extremely often for being gay, as well as a little bit for being skinny, which is caused by an eating disorder.

There is no sex or nudity shown, but sex is discussed, especially in chapter 7. There is also a time before then when a character is falsely accused of having sex with another person.

The author (Alice Oseman) confirmed that it's a good ending. In the middle of the comic you can see some future moments of the main characters. They are together, well and happy
