Plot

edit

Ichiri Sanjou is a high school student who loves skateboarding but feels frustrated by the restrictions set on her by her parents. One day, she meets a man in a park and gets caught up in a convenience store robbery. The man, who appears homeless, is a Brazilian who practices Capoeira. Ichiri and her friends start learning Capoeira from him, and Ichiri quickly becomes good at it, enjoying both the fighting and the idea of freedom it represents. However, there is more going on beneath the surface than she realizes, as Ichiri begins to uncover secrets from her past, realizing that her family has hidden important truths about their origins.

Characters

edit
Ichiri Sanjou (三條 一里, Sanjō Ichiri)
The protagonist of the manga. Known by most by the nickname Icchi (いっち, Itchi). A first-year high school student at Hayatomo High School. After meeting a mysterious old man and learning capoeira from him, she became an ever-growing capoeirista thrust into the midst of an upcoming Inheritance War by B.J. She is the daughter of Isao Sanjou, the boss of the Brazilian mafia group Lança Mortal. Her apelido (nickname among capoeiristas) is Alegria (Joy).
Aruna (アルナ, Aruna)
Ichiri's adoptive mother. She felt pity for young Ichiri and was distraught by the idea of cutting off her fingers and sending them to the Sanjous. Along with Pedro, she ran away with Ichiri, fleeing from B.J. and Lança Mortal. Even after discovering they were not biologically related to her, Ichiri still treats them as her family, willing to put herself in danger to keep them safe.
Pedro (ペドゥロ, Peduro)
Ichiri's adoptive father, who is strict and severe but has a great soft side for Ichiri. He recognized that cutting Ichiri’s fingers was an act of pure cruelty, despite being a member of a criminal organization. He ran away with Aruna and Ichiri, fleeing from their old friend and organization and flying to Japan.
Isao Sanjou (三條 勲, Sanjō Isao)
The boss of Lança Mortal and the biological father of Aguri, Ichiri and Legba. He is widely praised as the living reincarnation of the legendary Besouro Mangangá. He is considered one of the most powerful criminals in Brazil, both in terms of territorial power and martial abilities. To the surprise of everyone in Lança Mortal, Isao announced his upcoming retirement and declared that only the fittest of his children would inherit his possessions, assets, and legacy, thus setting the stage for the Inheritance War.
Bernardo Joker (ベルナルド・ジョーカー, Berunarudo Jōkā) / B.J.
A member of Lança Mortal and the main antagonist of the story. Fueled by his hatred for his boss, who had his left leg cut off, B.J. decided to capture Ichiri and train her to become strong enough to participate in—and win—the Inheritance War set up by her biological father. This desire stemmed from B.J.'s longing for money, as it was the only thing that provided him comfort after his allies and organization betrayed and destroyed him. Ichiri has an antagonistic relationship with B.J., complying with his demands to ensure the safety of her adoptive parents.
Aguri (アグリ, Aguri)
A member of Lança Mortal and Isao Sanjou's eldest child. She is the half-sister of Ichiri Sanjou and Legba, who are born from different mothers. She is solely focused on killing Ichiri and Legba with no hesitation. Aguri expresses little to no sibling affection toward Ichiri, seeing her only as a nuisance that gets in the way of the Inheritance War.
