“Hey, Seiji. Seiji.”
“You said you didn’t talk in your sleep.”
“I’m not asleep.”
“Don’t talk in my sleep either.”


Almost a year later an I’m still waiting for volume 6! Like they can’t just leave us with this, we are just being to notice the romance. And I just read the description for volume 6, like how I’m I supposed to wait to 2024? I want to read it now, like so badly!

*This review is for Fence Vol 1-5
Fence is fun, quick to read, and has lovable characters. The representation is weaved in throughout and just kind of casually exists, which I loved. It is heavy on the fencing (more so than any sports romance I’ve ever read), but everything is explained, so I actually learned a lot. The romance is very slow burn, though, so if you're impatient, I would maybe wait until more issues are out to start reading. However, I'm patient, so I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of the storyline progresses.

I need the Vol. 6 as soon as possible so that I can have more Seiji Katayama. That's it, that's my review.

The absolute slowest of slow burns right here. I am both at the edge of my seat and patiently watching the evolution of Nicholas and Senji's relationship. I need to know all the things, and this is some sweet torture.
