Ngozi Ukazu’s Check, Please! started as a simple webcomic, spawned from an art project in college. Now, with a huge online fan following and over a thousand patreons supporting her, Ukazu brings the story of Bitty’s freshman and sophomore years with the Samwell Men’s Hockey team to life in Check, Please!: #Hockey, volume one of a two volume series.
Shifting from a co-ed high school hockey team to a first division collegiate hockey team was already hard enough for a closeted, southern, baking-vlogger like Bitty, then add in to the mix his fear of checking and the cold, “hockey-robot” he has for a teammate, and Bitty’s first year with Samwell Men’s Hockey just about looks like a nightmare.
For a wholesome story and and unconventional set of characters, Check, Please!: #Hockey is the book to read.
