Fence

This was a solid 3.5 stars. If I didn't love this genre of sports in the medium of comics/manga/anime so much and haven't seen the vast majority of the plot and similar character development before, I might have given this a higher rating. But this is a very common storyline and I have to deduct some points for originality and creativity. I'm glad this is centered around fencing which is a particular sport I haven't read or watched before so I'm learning while enjoying the story. I will continue with the series for the sole entertainment value but I know I could predict a lot of the characters' decisions because I have seen or read about most of their archetypes before and this isn't a new spin on any of them.
