| I agree, probably cuz of the art style, many ppl find it "weird"... but putting this aside is a good manga, I really wish it receive more attention |

| @Seipps As a reader what i understood is; author himself practiced Capoeira before and even added his mestre as a character in the manga. Also manga explains the origin and the history of Capoeira both as an expression and as a martial art while explaining the music and the instrument called Berimbau. I discovered several Capoeira music through this manga. Apart from it, the manga revolves around a girl named Ichiri who loves Capoeira but has to perform it as a martial art (by reasons that i am not gonna explain because it is a spoiler). Story takes place in Japan but it is hinted that it may reach Brasil in the future. This is my take as a reader. I am not Brazilian though, so i don't know how accurate the part of the story about Brasil. |

| Most of the Capoeira stuff is very well researched, pretty accurate. The portuguese sentences used are like 95% accurate. I've read everything and I'm loving it. I've met some Capoeira mestres before, and they're portrayed very well (like Mestre Amoroso, I know a mestre just like him). Also, all the songs are real, and the lyrics are very interesting. The best experience reading Batuque is with a playlist of Capoeira songs in the background. There are some on youtube. |
