C.S. Pacat is the great author of the Captive Prince trilogy.
In case you haven't heard of it before, Captive Prince is a political driven story about Damen a hero in his country hiding as a slave in the country he was fighting, because his half-brother seized the power in his Homeland and strips him of his power proceeding to sell him to the Prince of the other nations as a sex slave.

Here is the first volume for those interested:


Now C.S. Pacat came out, with the help of Johanna The Mad and Joana Lafuente, with a graphic novel series called Fence.
Aso you must've guessed it Fence follows the journey of Nicholas Cox the illegitimate son of a retired fencing champion who wants nothing more than to prove himself in the world of competitive fencing. He will not only have to face his half-brother, but also the unbeatable, mysterious Seiji Katayama. With rivalries, friendships and romance between teammates, Nicholas will discover there is much more to fencing than he ever thought.


Currently there is three volumes out (issues #1-12), each volume gets better and better. This graphic novel series is not only packed with action it also delves deeply into Fencing, the rules and the art of it. You can truly feel the passion each character has for fencing and see the hate to love romance that is slowly simmering.

Totally worth checking out if you haven't !
Overall 4/5 stars
