I love love love this series, I love these characters, I love their romance.
This feels like a warm hug, a fun frolic with my best friends. The way they talk to each other and help each other brings me so much joy. and the ART! Adorable, heart warming, delightful from beginning to end.

Boyfriends Volume Two is the continuing adventures in dating of our favorite polycule Nerd, Jock, Prep, and Goth. The group is now officially boyfriends! I adore this comics series so much, the artwork is beyond cute and the college slice of life warms my heart. I really enjoy how all of the characters really mesh well together and discover themselves more once they step out of their comfort zones to support one another. I hope to see more from refrainbow in the future. Such a sweet and fun graphic! I love seeing it in print form.

In this volume, we get to meet the girls! Another poly group. They are kinda female versions of the original group. But they are different enough to be memorable. The Halloween storyline is great. We also get the adorable fanfic. I enjoyed the art having a slightly different vibe while telling the story. The main storyline is still moving forward and developing the characters. Highlighting how they are adjusting to being in a polyamorous relationship. This is another super fun volume from @wattpadbooks
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This physical volume contains Chapters 56-100.

I find the colour palette refreshing. And I loved the clear communication which is one of the main theme for the entire series. There are tons of diverse queer characters in this one. They talk about what each of them like and how clueless they are about a lot of things. And instead of letting it get to their heads they have conversations.

Although I wish the second volume has something more in terms of story. It's cute, cringy, the right kind, and perfect for reading if you just want to lie down and read some light hearted queer romance. But I hope the plot picks up a little. I also loved the addition of the poly girl gang.

I love the art style for this webtoon series. It's very light-hearted and sweet, and tends to lean in toward the silly side. It's polyamorous queer fluff and I think it conveys that clearly in a fun and interesting manner. While the storyline doesn't keep me on the edge of my seat, it's a quick and cozy read that often made me giggle. I also loved that there are so many queer characters outside of our main foursome, such as the sapphic foursome, who are coming more into play during this volume. The comic doesn't take itself seriously and I think that's a great portion of what makes it fun to read.

As with the first volume, so excited to see this beautiful Webtoon come to life on page! Such a sweet group of boys with a well fleshed out relationship. Love to be able to physically suggest this series to readers now!

I began reading Boyfriends free online as the author began posting, so to see it have a second published volume is such a wonderful thing. The story has such heart and sweet moments as well as a wonderfully goofy undertone that feels like a perfect blend. A quick lighthearted read that serves as a perfect afternoon palate cleanser.

This is one of my most favorite webtoons series! I'm so happy that it's being published in physical book form. I love the communication between the boyfriends as well as the positive view on polyamory.

Just as sickeningly cute as the first volume! I love how the four of them are growing together and learning to be in their poly-relationship.

The art is so beautiful and I love the use of colors. This books just screams happiness and love 💗

I really loved the first volume in the series and the second does not disappoint. I would recommend folks read these in order for better context of which character is which.
This continues in the same fashion, a sweet, unproblematic read with a very positive and healthy portrayal of a polycule relationship. When challenges come up for the characters, the other members of the polycule are supportive and helpful. They even introduce another group, an all female polycule, “the girlfriends,” which I can see being an amazing spin off series and hope to see more of them as the series progresses.
References to Animal Crossing and The Little Mermaid will delight millennial fans. This is the next step up for teen fans of Heartstopper (the graphic novels) and Sex Education (the Netflix series) bringing them into New Adult territory with university setting and lack of parental figures while still maintaining the pastel energy and queer joy.

This was such a good follow-up to the first volume! I enjoyed it just as much. It was so much fun revisiting these characters, and getting to know new ones as well! All in all, it was a highly enjoyable read and the art remains as cute as ever!

I got the first volume of Boyfriends to read so when I saw this one come up on Netgalley, of course I had to grab it! I absolutely love seeing them grow closer and more comfortable in their polycule. I also enjoyed seeing the Girlfriends with the exact same types 🤣🤣

This volume had so many hilarious moments in it, I was squealing happily the entire time, because I'm sorry but Goth not knowing what a credit was HILARIOUS.

"Why do you always have to make it gay between us?"
"YOU ARE GAY."

I also absolutely loved that they were playing animal crossing and that an intervention needed to be had to get prep off the couch and off the switch. I also loved the Little Mermaid piece!

Seeing queer relationships depicted in such a healthy way is amazing. They're learning how to support themselves and each other when one struggles and it's beautiful.

My only gripe was Webtoon putting the copyright over the entire image several times as it made it super hard to read. There also seemed to be a few typos but overall it was super cute and I can't wait to read the next one!

I've been following this series since it was on Tapas and it's such a treat to see it become a published novel. I wanted to see the changes and how it would adapt to a graphic novel format instead of a webserial and I am overall pleased. I enjoyed rereading and re-exploring the cute dynamics and wholesome romance that the characters go through. The art is so cute and reflects the wholesome story that it depicts.

My only complaints ( and this will be fixed when the book comes out) is that the watermarks made it incredibly difficult for me to read the galley since I have dyslexia. It's a little bit of a head scratcher especially the story is being posted for free on other platforms and if there are worries of the content being pirated, other measures like turning the comic into greyscale for 90% of the pages should be a better solution rather than making the entire comic inaccessible. I felt like I shouldn't have requested this galley as it only made my reading experience frustrating.

Prep, Nerd, Goth, and Jock are back, this time with more school shenanigans and some new (and parallel) characters! I've been following this series on Webtoon for a while, and was excited to learn about its release in physical graphic novel format. It is a soft, lighthearted series about four college students exploring a polyamorous relationship. While LGBTQIA+ themes are more common these days, polycules (people in polyamorous relationships) are still not as mainstream, so it's nice to see them depicted here, especially in a supportive, exploratory fashion. While general sex jokes and innuendos are sometimes made (the characters are college students after all), the series is by and large wholesome and inclusive of many different members of the LGBTQIA+ community, including transgender and asexual individuals. This particular volume also brings in an all-female polycule to complement the boys, as well as a bonus mermaid AU for fun.

The series is arguably trope-y, and although the main characters did originally have names, the character archetypes they represent have long since subsumed their names in fan perception. However, this is part of the draw of the series, just like the pastel color scheme and the relatively streamlined art style. It was a lot of fun rereading previous chapters and seeing the new page layout!

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC! I look forward to Volume 3!

I've been a fan of Refrainbow's Boyfriends comic ever since I read it on Webtoons. This second compilation is lovely. I will definitely be purchasing it to add to my bookshelf when it comes out.

This is a cute story of four college guys navigating their way in a poly relationship. They have ups and downs, but the story never gets too heavy or difficult. It is a bubblegum pop story with real feelings and humor. The perfect antidote for a rough day. The art style is great and the storylines are satisfying and feel good.

Meh. Not as good as the first collection but I liked the introduction of the female characters. The mermaid story was cute.

Before I saw something about this being published, I had never heard of this Webtoon, so it’s safe to say that I’m so glad that I did discover BOYFRIENDS. This was such a fun read that I ended up reading the equivalent of 100 Webtoon episodes in a day and a half because I was having so much fun reading about Goth, Jock, Nerd, and Prep! While the characters play on some typical character archetypes, I think all of them standout, and make such a fun story, and one of the best poly couples I’ve seen in contemporary fiction! The art of the story is also so fun (and the meta-chapters were extra gorgeous) and fits the vibes so well while also making everything super readable. I also loved how volume 2 introduced the girlfriends (and am secretly hoping there might be a webtoon about them in the future). Definitely a cute, fun, and very gay story that’s worth the read!

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with the ARC for this graphic novel!
SPOILERS TO FOLLOW

I would first like to say... that Webtoon putting it's copyright sentence over every page of this ARC was NOT it. It made it hard to read some of the text bubbles at times. I was already going to buy the physical version when it comes out but... I really want it now.

ANYWAYS!!! The content itself was just as cute as the first one. I was really excited to meet The Girlfriends! It was funny to see that one of the girls that Nerd met in the first Vol was also one of the girls in the Girlfriends. I also really liked how Jock's sister also turned out to be one of the Girlfriends!

This is just a me thing (because I did really enjoy this graphic novel 5/5 lol) but I think the first one is my favorite. Mostly in terms of how awkward and cute they all are when they first start dating each other. In this collection they're a bit more toned down and settled into their relationship. They're still really damn cute but I kind of miss the awkward, cute tension from the first one!

5 Rainbow Stars!!

The art is amazing and the fact that the four main characters are very distinct from each other but have overlap in their personalities is great too! The humour is placed at the right time, seriousness is felt when dealing with issues/character struggles, seeing characters develop and be heard is very touching too.

I’ve been following the series since season 1; if you have [Line] Webtoon, consider using coins to fast pass to advance episodes to support this wonderful artist! You really won’t regret it!!

Senior year has never been this charmingly chaotic! In "Boyfriends Volume Two," Jock, Goth, Nerd, and Prep return with more love, giggles, and smiles. It's like the sitcom you wish was your life, complete with polyamorous adventures, quirky habits, and the introduction of the Girlfriends. Buckle up for another semester of romance and college-level absurdity!

Pros:
🌟 3.5 stars for this delightful continuation! So, so cute, it's practically a serotonin supplement.

😄 Very fun! The author keeps the smiles beaming, making it the perfect escape from reality.

🌈 Positive vibes abound! It's like a rainbow of emotions, with moments of pride big and small scattered throughout.

🏳️‍🌈 Good representation continues, making the polycule a diverse and heartwarming group.

🧘‍♂️ No plot, just vibes – who needs an intricate storyline when you can bask in the warm glow of romantic escapades?

🧜‍♂️ Love the Little Mermaid AU – because every rom-com needs a splash of underwater romance.

💖 Love the introduction of the Girlfriends poly – it's like expanding the romantic universe with a fresh breeze of queer energy.

Cons:
🤷 Same issues as the first book – stereotypes, shallow characters, and little plot. But hey, when the vibes are this good, who's complaining?
