Nicholas is an outsider to the competitive fencing world.
Filled with raw talent but lacking proper training, he signs up for a competition that puts him head-to-head with fencing prodigy Seiji Katayama…and on the road to the elite all-boys school Kings Row. A chance at a real team and a place to belong awaits him—if he can make the cut!

“It’s all about the world of fencing,” said Pacat. “The elegance, the danger, the high stakes of what’s essentially a combat sport.”

I was keen to read Fence from the moment I first heard about it – A YA comic by aussie author C.S. Pacat set in the competitive world of Fencing with M/M romance – YES! a thousand times yes!

I was jumping for joy when The YA Chronicles announced it would be included in their November “Make it Gay” Box. Winning! 

 The first issue did not disappoint. I absolutely loved it and can see myself reading it over again until the december issue comes out.

Nicholas is a lovable underdog who is instantly likable. You can’t help but want him to succeed.

The first issue perfectly set up the tension between Nicholas and Seiji. I even enjoyed the fencing, a sport I previously hadn’t given much thought to.

The artwork is beautiful! Clear, detailed and flows wonderfully.

I am so excited for the next instalment! Hurray for this new comic book series.
