debchan 's review for:
Fence, Vol. 5: Rise
by C.S. Pacat
i'm going to die before this series is even close to being finished. i was scrolling through my old reblogs/likes from like 2020 and was like "oh i'll check in on the fence fandom, see if they're still alive" ONLY TO SEE THAT THIS WAS RELEASED??!
read it in like 3o mins and just wanted more (rip)
i am SO GLAD the graphic novels were basically headcanon. because it never really made sense and if we're going to get an aiden/harvard scene i need to see it not read it.
also we got EXPRESSIONS! not sarah rees brenan's weird take on the characters.
these chapters were not majorly eventful plot-wise but we did get some fencing scenes, some family scenes, and the best part were the funny scenes. i love pacat's humor throughout these comics, especially the nicholas/seiji dynamic.
i do love the way nicholas and seiji are becoming friends. they seem so unlikely but there's something about them that clicks perfectly and their love of fencing above everything really connects them.
tell me everything about seiji and jesse. i need more jesse content. (pls)
bobby was THE BEST here! i love his friendship with nicholas too.
i wish eugene had more page time but in reality this entire volume was like 20 pages soooo yeah. but eugene does remind me that the novels gave us ONE good thing which was eugene/jesse interactions. i need to see it in the comics with my own two eyes in johanna's beautiful art. (pls)
all i know is that harvard needs to improve in his low lines whatever that is. i think he's a great captain either way. i love the bff aiden moments too.
now tell me what aiden's whole deal is because it would be super cool to see him duel seiji again also can i join the fanclub? for the cupcakes obviously .
i love johanna the mad's art. the uniforms, expressions, all the details are very *chefs kiss*. its the details that provide so much character and depth to the comic that brenan couldn't provide.
i know pacat is probably working on dark rise book 2 but i wouldn't mind more frequent or more lengthier releases (pls). (but also if both johanna and pacat are tired, then ofc they should rest!)
going to check in next year to see if volume 6 is out!

i stumbled upon the jesse/seiji hay scene and was absolutely floored. flabergasted.read it in like 3o mins and just wanted more (rip)

one of my fav parts was when nicholas placed rivals as higher than friendship. priceless.i do love the way nicholas and seiji are becoming friends. they seem so unlikely but there's something about them that clicks perfectly and their love of fencing above everything really connects them.

if he actually cared and we found out what holds him back. harvard related? most likelyi love johanna the mad's art. the uniforms, expressions, all the details are very *chefs kiss*. its the details that provide so much character and depth to the comic that brenan couldn't provide.
