Nope, I’m totally not addicted to this delightfully diverse, engagingly dramatic, and adorably young adult series peppered with humour like this (see below)—whatever do you mean?
Fiiiine, who am I kidding? I totally am. The aforementioned fantastic, intense storytelling and one-of-a-kind art still prevails, but the real gem of this volume was the added depth to the characters and their bonds that ended up breaking my icy heart and healing it. I mean, I even cried, I swear!
I shall now proceed to explain.
I said it before, I won’t say it again (*starts singing in Dan Reynolds voice* love is a game to you, it’s not pretend; maybe if I fall asleep, I won’t breathe righ�*realises she’s in the middle of a review, smiles sheepishly*) OK let’s not pretend I’m not gonna say it again because I absolutely am.
See that dork in the above image? The one who scored one hit when he was 14 marks behind and acts as if he’s been handed heaven on a string? Yeah that one—that’s Nicholas Cox the overconfident cinnamon bun who will make everything a race and is determined to succeed yet never wants to win at the cost of walking on someone else. And yet people keep dragging him, saying he’s confident for no reason; well let him! At least he’s not arrogant and dismissive like another certain guy...
Yup, that guy. Though TBH I no longer hate Seiji (I even like him) and yes I still want to kick him for being stuck in his head like an insecure obsessed little teen (which I’m realising he technically is??) but I just appreciate the friendship blooming between these two idiots (I’m also realising I tend to refer to them like this in almost all my reviews of the series *grins*) and how their palpable chemistry spills into their fencing gah.
Look at the above pic and tell me that’s anything other than the epitome of the dynamic of an ESFP and ISTJ (these are Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality types BTW, I’m not actually spewing gibberish). Speaking of MBTI types...
THAT’S AN ESFP-ESTP INTERACTION RIGHT THERE, YES. And nope, just because Trump is an ESTP doesn’t mean all ESTPs are Trumps; Eugene is my optimistic, loving baby who might have seemed like a bullying jock at first, but he’s a layered human being so you fiends will back off! *brandishes sword*
Now allow me to bother you with acommercial break. Just reminding you that this wall of forbidden sentences exists and y’all should get one cos it ain’t ever gonna get old. �
Yes, Aiden dumped him. Yes, my fave fencer and delightfully manipulative AidenKane King is a careless, lonely kid with no present family and childhood of neglect and he dumps everyone except one guy and that is Harvard the benevolent, wise leader who is trying so hard to shower the flighty playboy with love and support and save him from himself and Aiden has no idea what to do with it except protect it and awwww this is the cutest thing ever, no?
Whoever doesn’t agree can take a left down the cliff. *grins*
Among other treasures contained within this volume are: � Tanner the spiky, loyal, caring angry hedgehog trying to keep his friends together, � Kally the hardworking and admirably gracious scholarship student who shocked me with his wisdom, � a diverse cast with beautifully represented and fleshed out families and, finally, � a team that looks out for each other.
You know me, I’m always craving team spirit and found families like a lil kid demanding his favourite toys, so the glimpse into the depth of these teens� bonds and the promise of more, more than satiated me. I LOVE THEM ALL OKAY.
This 3rd volume is the best one yet, aiming to close a main chapter of this comic series and oh boy does it do so with a bang—because, duh, cliffhangers. Now, off to the future we gooooooo.
