Batuque

A manga about a young girl who becomes interested in capoeira after meeting a mysterious homeless man.

A new manga by Tokio Sako who is best known for his Usogui series. I haven’t gotten into Usogui but would like to revisit it someday. In the mean time I’m enjoying Sako’s impressive artwork applied to the fluid movement of martial arts. I think it’s an interesting choice starting the protagonist so young but I like it so far.

Will keep reading more in Weekly Young Jump.
