Batuque - Vol. 5 Ch. 51 - Batizado

man i still remember my batizado, i got nicknamed soninho (sleepy) because i kept yawning during the thing.
 
"Pipoca" aheuehueaheuhaeuheauea... Se fosse eu ia pra casa chorar em posição fetal... Bem, podia ser pior...
 
You really can feel this indescribable warmth. I couldn't stop smiling myself.
 
Ichii really grew fast, she looks like she is 5 years older compared to 3 chapters ago.
 
really felt jyungo when he was wondering if they were the same species
 
I like how this manga communicates an earnest love for Capoeira, the martial art and the culture surrounding it. While this is a battle manga and the purpose of learning martial arts is to get stronger to beat your enemies, in real life that's not so much the case. I think it's entirely worthy to learn a martial art just because it's fun, to appreciate a new culture and make friends along the way. Plus self-confidence, physical fitness, etc. You don't often see that side of things in these manga, especially since usually it's a native Japanese learning a historical Japanese martial art, so you don't have the "new culture" aspect that any Westerner trying to learn Karate or Judo or Taekwondo will experience.
