Marcus has a crush, and Cog has no idea. As the two seniors from different friend groups start spending more time together—sharing lunches, walking home, and getting into hilarious mishaps—their feelings slowly grow. Marcus is a wholesome sweetheart, and Cog is easily overwhelmed, making their journey to confessing both adorable and awkward. But as long as they’re together, they don’t mind taking their time.

Daybreak Volume One is an absolute delight—a cozy, feel-good romance that radiates warmth and joy. Following Marcus, a sweet bisexual trans boy, and Cog, a flustered but lovable nonbinary Afro-Latinx gay, this story is full of adorable moments, slow-burn pining, and wholesome interactions. It’s so refreshing to see a Black queer love story centered on joy, offering the kind of comfort read that feels like a warm hug.

Moosopp’s artwork is stunning, perfectly capturing the tender romance and everyday moments that make Marcus and Cog’s dynamic so endearing. Their mutual pining and hilarious mishaps make this a perfect read for fans of Heartstopper and Bloom. With so much stress in the world, Daybreak is a much-needed breath of fresh air, celebrating queer love in the sweetest way.
