I feel like my overall reaction to this volume of Fence is a lot like other reviews I’ve seen: “Is that it?” Not only is it more fencing focused than the previous two volumes, but we don’t get a lot of plot movement on the fencing or personal sides of the story. I like the idea of this fencing camp and I liked seeing them fence and learning from other fencers. I just wanted more. Which is a common refrain around here so maybe take it with a grain of salt. BUT the little moments we did get still really spoke to me. Teens are being teens and being emotional about life and about fencing and about romance. I know some people were saying that this is the “slowest slow burn ever” but it doesn’t feel that way to me. I mean, school just started for these boys. They just started fencing as a team in the previous volume.They haven’t even had their first real match of the season. So, I think it’s still pretty early days for the team and for the romances. Especially given how little focus we get on the relationships outside of fencing for the first couple of volumes. I’m enjoying myself but begrudging the fact that I will probably have to wait at least a year (maybe two?) for another volume.

Another installment following this team of high school boys who are competitive fencers. This time around we got to meet some of their rival teams. Very quick and humorous.

This was such a great volume. In this one we follow the team as they go to fencing camp! They're all sharing a room and it is just hilarious. It's like a giant sleepover. The more serious part of camp is them facing off against other schools during the training part of the camp. I don't want to spoil anything but this was a really great volume. We got to see the guys having fun but also learning a lot at the training camp. Can't wait for the next volume!
