![]() There’s information about fencing techniques (particularly attacking with the flick!) and competitive strategies, plus plenty of soap opera, with growing relationships, family history, and determined rivalries. In a story with a bunch of guys who all dress alike, it takes skill to differentiate them quickly and so well. (Although I’m eager to see more, as always.) Johanna’s art marvelously blends the action, the comedy (with exaggerated reactions), and the emotion among the wide variety of cast members. Pacat does a wonderful job keeping the ongoing character development going throughout the series while still making this volume satisfying on its own. ![]() ![]() The team goes to a training camp, where their members face off against several other schools and fencers, revealing more about their history and motivations. In Fence: Rise (the fifth volume of the graphic novel series, written by C.S Pacat, art by Johanna the Mad), the fiercely competitive Seiji is finding himself more open to his first friendship with his roommate, the scrappy, garrulous Nicholas. The boys’ fencing school series continues with a new original volume, and I’m so glad to see it’s still going. ![]()
