Though he may come across as brutally direct, he’s still fair and honest. He’s usually more neutral and level-headed, though he also carries the pressure to keep up his success that sometimes gets to him. Due to his talent, Seiji was often isolated and doesn’t have a lot of friends, as he also tends to keep to himself. Yet he finds himself at a fencing school that isn’t as high profile, which is how he meets Nicholas again after beating him at a Tournament. Seiji is also the type of character I like ➽ He’s ranked second in his age group and one of the best fencers. He’s really chaotic, oblivious and outgoing (especially compared to Seiji) but still carries the burden of being cast aside by his father and having to fight for every chance to prove himself. This means that Nicholas learned fencing on his own, with whatever guidance he could find, determined to make it and succeed. His father was a fencing legend, but as his illegitimate son, Nicholas was pretty much abandoned and forgotten, without any of the resources that his half-brother Jesse (currently ranked first in his age group) had. Nicholas really grew on me! ➽ He’s our primary main character and an aspiring fencer with a lot of emotional baggage. After getting accepted to the prodigious Kings Row private school, Nicholas is thrust into a cut-throat world, and finds himself facing not only his golden-boy half-brother, but the unbeatable, mysterious Seiji Katayama… Through clashes, rivalries, and romance between teammates, Nicholas and the boys of Kings Row will discover there’s much more to fencing than just foils and lunges. Nicholas, the illegitimate son of a retired fencing champion, is a scrappy fencing wunderkind, and dreams of getting the chance and the training to actually compete. This review covers my feelings about all four volumes of Fence but contains no spoilers!
