FENCE (2017)

"Novelist C.S. Pacat (Captive Prince) and fan-favorite artist Johanna the Mad team up for a new series perfect for fans of Check, Please! and Yuri!!! on Ice. Sixteen-year-old Nicholas Cox 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!"

"As Seiji and Nicholas struggle with their living arrangement, the competition heats up."

"As Nicholas works to become a better fencer, Seiji takes an unexpected interest in his journey."

"Nicholas begins to overthink everything as he struggles to prove he deserves his place at Kings Row."

"Seiji's calm is badly rattled over a lost match and his mysterious past begins to come out."

"After an unexpected defeat, tensions run high among the fencers of Kings Row."

"Nicholas pushes himself to be recognised as Seiji's rival, but Seiji is indifferent or so it seems."

"The last day of tryouts, and Seiji sees something in Nicholas that will change his opinion forever."

"The rematch that had to happen-Seiji vs Nicholas and neither is walking out the same!"

"Nicholas is determined to get Seiji to focus on him and him alone."

"It all comes down to this-the final match that will determine who makes the team, and who gets left behind."

"Tryouts are coming to a close, and the three available spots on the Kings Row fencing team are almost all locked up. It's just a question of whether or not Nicholas can push through and earn a spot for himself-or if he'll have to leave Kings Row altogether."
