Sako Toshio’s Batuque manga will end in two chapters, as confirmed in the 155th chapter. The manga launched in July 2018 in Shueisha’s Young Jump magazine. It moved to the Tonari no Young Jump web magazine in May 2020, with the most recent tankoubon volume, 16, released digitally in July of this year.
Ichiri Sanjou is a young girl who discovers Capoeira after being saved by a homeless man during a robbery. Wanting to learn more about the Afro-Brazilian martial art that blends dancing, music, and acrobatics, she begins practising with others in a local park under the guidance of the same man who helped her. Ichiri slowly becomes enamoured with Capoeira and begins to find freedom from her father’s strict rules. But she soon learns a harsh truth about her family, which forces her to face the dark underbelly of various martial arts and kick-starts her journey to becoming a Capoeirista.
