Honestly if I were invested with these characters this easily would’ve been 5 stars but I think the more graphic novels I read, the more my expectations do as well >.<I still really enjoyed this volume, definitely my favorite out of the three, and will probably continue reading (virtually!) because it’s still a very fun, lighthearted novel :”)
Okay, so the first arc is done and tryouts are over, with a resolution reminiscent of The Hunger Games (I mean the first book, where we are supposed to narrow down to one survivor, but since we care so much about more than one person. . . ). This is still good, a sports-themed manga-ish story of competition (you don't have to know anything about fencing or even care about it, really) with undercurrents of m/m attraction, it is feeling like we need to do something just a bit different in the next...
my favourite volume yet :')
STILL SO GREAT.
Nope, I’m totally not addicted to this delightfully diverse, engagingly dramatic, and adorably young adult series peppered with humour like this (see below)—whatever do you mean? Fiiiine, who am I kidding? I totally am. The aforementioned fantastic, intense storytelling and one-of-a-kind art still prevails, but the real gem of this volume was the added depth to the characters and their bonds that ended up breaking my icy heart and healing it. I mean, I even cried, I swear!I shall now proceed
4 StarsThe boys are finally coming together as a team instead of rivals. Looking forward to them kicking some ass!
“this is what it feels like to have your dreams go up in smoke.” april 2022:i’ve seen someone else say in their review that this is where the series shifts and becomes more plot-based, and i totally agree. rereading through all them so i can finally get to vol. 4 made me realize that this is definitely my favorite volume out of the three so far, because you can really see their friendships blossom. so pure, ugh, i love them. november 2019:there’s not much to add to my reviews of the previous vo
I love these! I only wish a little more happened in each one, they're over far too soon. I can't wait to see what happens next. This one left me with a big smile on my face!
Recently re-read this graphic novel so I can read volume 4 and so today's the day that I will read volume 4!(:
This series is free to read with a 7 or 30 day free ComiXology subscription on Amazon US.
★★★★★ — 5 Stars! I absolutely adored this volume. It was probably my favorite of the three volumes. It was nice to see the building of friendships and the tensions of who was going to make the team. And that ending though!
reread april 2021; four stars! ❀ this might be my favorite volume so far! four stars ∗ i absolutely love this graphic novel series with my whole heart!!!
1.) Vol. 1 ★★★★★2.) Vol. 2 ★★★★I truly feel like this graphic novel series just gets better and better each installment. I feel like after I finished the last page of this volume, I felt like the story (and real angst) is just now going to be starting and I truly cannot wait. This truly has been such a purely joyous serotonin ride getting to this point, and I already can’t wait to see what happens next. And I also predict the next issues will have a much different tone, as well.But if you don’t
The tryouts are finally over! I'm so happy for all the fencers who made the team, but especially for Nicolas and Seiji. Now it's all about training and becoming best friends. Ok, I actually hope for more than best friends, but I know it will be a long road for our two main characters. I'm going to be happy if in the next volume we get to take down that duck curtain in their room. Can't wait to read more!!
*that is what I say spicy 💜
I feel like this is the turning point in the series for stuff to actually start happening (which is a nice way of saying the series is good but the first three volumes could've been consolidated into one)
More fencing, more drama, more suspense!We return to Kings Row and the tryouts for the fencing team. Ever since he surprised everyone by showing up at this school rather than someplace more prestigious, everyone is expecting Seiji Katayama to make the team. But who else will join him?Nicholas has wanted to do nothing but fence for as long as he can remember. But can his skills overcome his lack of training and technique? Will his desire to make Seiji respect him cause more friction with his sull...
ugh so good, I cry
I love how sharp and soft this is at the same time. They are competing so hard against each other. Like, it keeps them up at night. It is all they think about. But they also have a grudging respect for each other and appreciate the other's determination and will power. I eat that shit up.These boys are all hot and funny and fun in different ways. It's like a game where there's 6 different love interests you get to chose from. But instead, you are watching them all be in love with each other. Fan...
Finally, it took 3 volumes, but they picked the members of the fencing team. It happened at the end of the volume. The end of the rounds were the beginning of the volume. It probably won’t happen, but I think there are sparks between Seiji and Nicholas. We’ll see if something happens.This series is giving me everything I want. I wish they came out quicker and we didn’t have to wait so long. It’s a great series. I can’t believe how small the fencing team is. Only 3 people with a backup. That seem...
