The boys hate each other so much that drawing a line down the middle of the room isn’t enough. However, Nicholas shows enough potential to win a scholarship to Kings Row Boys School – where he’s promptly stuck with Seiji for a roommate. He enters his first tournament and is roundly trounced by Seiji Katayama, who has an arrogant attitude and a reputation as the best fencer around. His father was an Olympic fencer and Nicholas gets fencing lessons by cleaning and repairing the local fencing school. Nicholas Cox was raised by a single mom without much money. This review is of Volume 1, which collects issues 1-5. The authors have promised romance, and while so far none has been forthcoming, if the roommates do not become lovers in the very near future I will be amazed. The story includes sexual and ethnic diversity, a secret half-brother, class division, and passionate rivalry between two teammates who loathe each other and are therefore, inevitably, randomly chosen to be roommates. Theme: Class Differences, Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity (stranded, safehouse, etc), Mistaken/False Identity, Sportsįence is a manga-inspired comic about the fencing team of a high school boarding school.
