Hello there!

Howdy. 👋

Not only will there be a new volume of CHECK, PLEASE! in the works...

But CHECK, PLEASE!: YEAR FIVE will be...

…THE YEAR OF THE FROG. 🐸 🏒 ✨

Below, find a summary of what the newest volume of CHECK, PLEASE! will have to offer… highs, lows, and a whole new SMH!!

Samwell mens hockey’s favorite baker—and championship-winning senior captain—has graduated! How will the team survive? Problems abound as their new captain, Dex, learns that the effortless balance Bitty maintained on the team isn’t as easy as it looks. Then, ultra-aloof Nursey must finally drop his “chill” and get vulnerable in a senior poetry seminar. And to make matters worse, Chowder faces the dreaded ‘SSGS’ and is having the worst season of his college career. But when change arrives at Samwell hockey, it not only threatens to rip the team apart, but could destroy Dex, Nursey, and Chowder’s friendship forever. Before they graduate, to save their team and themselves, the three seniors must come together and ask the question: ‘What does Samwell hockey mean to you?’

I can’t reveal any more spoilers, but I’ll leave you with that question—what does Samwell hockey mean to you? Look out for more Check, Please! news in the months to come!

“Can I kiss you?”

Dex asks the question out of nowhere, and with so little inflection that it takes a full minute for Nursey to understand the individual words, let alone what exactly they mean when spoken in that order.

Rain beats down across the Samwell campus, cooling what was once a hot, August day. Nursey and Dex are the first ones back from summer break, side by side on the front porch to watch the storm, and the Haus behind them is as empty as when they left it. A different kind of empty, though, now that Bitty’s gone.

Nursey’s a little scared they won’t be able to ever properly fill it up again.

He’s a little scared of a lot of things going into their senior year, if he’s honest. And now here’s the most unexpected of curveballs to cap off his first day back.

Can I kiss you?

Nursey finally registers the words, and his breath catches in his suddenly frozen lungs. His heart hiccups.

He’s never actually been on the receiving end of that question before.
