Review: This was delayed (understandably) for a couple of months but absolutely worth waiting for. Fantastic to see the character and relationship developments between all the characters (namely Jesse and Seiji's past, Seiji and Nicholas' current, Aiden and Harvard, and Bobby and Dante), and the art is lovely as usual.

Review: After the last volume ended with a cliffhanger, I thought something more explosive would happen between Jesse and Nicholas, but alas. The most interesting development is maybe the dynamic between Jesse ans Seiji. I wonder what happened between Jesse and Seiji to cause their fallout and for Seiji to deliberately attend a school Jesse wasn’t attending. I don’t want to compare Fence too much with the All For the Game series, but you all see it, right? There are a LOT of similarities here. Even if the story isn’t as gritty or intense as AFTG. Maybe both were inspired by sports manga and anime, but I’m not well versed in that genre at all. I think it’s fun that we get to see a new host of characters in this volume and we get to see a new setting. The boys get their first field trip and it’s to have a practice round with a rival school - MLC. This did feel kind of like an info dump of team fencing strategies and how the game is played, and I agree with the little drawing of Nicholas during all this that the rules are VERY confusing. I don’t understand the rules or the pointing system at all in the end, so I just went with it. Another thing I’m not understanding, and I think the comic isn’t conveying, is why there’s the official fencing team of 3 fencers + reserves, but there’s still everyone else who was at tryouts going to team practice and the practice match. Is it typical for everyone to go to attend practice and matches even if they’re not on the team, or is it a way to just show us characters who aren’t on the team to round out the story? Like, I want to know more about Bobby and Dante’s relationship too but I’m starting to feel like the volumes are too short to show me everything I want to know. And I’m getting a bit frustrated with the series as a whole. Adding to that, are we only getting one volume a year? Or are we even getting a volume a year? It’s hard to tell now that there’s no more individual scheduled issues coming out. I don’t even really know where to get more info on this series or how long this series is going to go. I love the characters, but it just seems a bit too drawn out and I feel like the wait is too long to keep people invested? I’m interested in what the novelization by Sarah Rees Brennan adds to the story and the characters because they seem to be coming out at a faster pace than the comics. Overall, I still love the characters, but I feel like the storyline is dragging too much when we consider the slow pace at which the volumes are being published.
