After that awesome ending in #10, I was expecting so much more interaction between Nick and Seiji, but that was just wishful thinking. They are awkward as hell and have no clue how to converse with each other and it's hilarious.

I didn't really have any opinion about Eugene before but OMG he is so sweet. His family is super cute and they are so supportive of him. Gene's passion for fencing really came through and I could totally see the similarities between him and Nick.

And that ending was just so awwww and made me all emo and I had tears in my eyes. Nick and Eugene are such adorable sweethearts and I want both of them to make the team though it's not possible 😢😢😢

Goodreads says there is only one more issue and how is that even possible...!!!! It's already difficult to wait a month to know who makes it to the team and if I have to wait more to actually see some progress in Nick and Seiji's relationship, that's gonna be hell 😠😠😠 ( )

But sometimes—no matter how hard you work, no matter how strongly you feel—you still won’t get the one thing you want. This is what it feels like to have your dreams go up in smoke.

T_T

Also Eugene is so adorable, his handwritten letter made me tear up a little :') ( )

OVERALL THOUGHTS: 4.5/5

AWW MAN. This issue was so good XD

Nicholas and Seiji's relationship took another step in my opinion and it's just so nice to see all of the characters given depth. The diversity is so prominent and it's easy to relate to all of the characters
