Fence, Vol. 4: Rivals

I've waited so long for this volume and it just finishes so fast, I'm upset now because I want more of this amazing story. It was so interesting to see Jesse and Seiji's dynamic and Nick understanding how untrained he is. I truly didn't expect the team to be so flustered in the practice match against their rivals, but if this series is about anything, it's about coming together at the right time and supporting each other. And that's what the boys from King's Row did. I loved the bouts, Nick's joy when he gets to fence, Bobby's cheerleading and Harvard's leadership. But as always, Seiji continues to surprise and I really enjoyed what he did towards the end.

I really missed the simple and beautiful artwork of this series, so I was very happy to see it again. But now we have no idea when the next volume will come out, so I'll probably have to resign myself for atleast a half year or more of waiting. But these characters will be closest to my heart and I can't wait to read more about their fencing adventures and their wonderful friendships.
