The afternoon sun beats down on the quiet street outside the Sano Dojo. Mansaku, 28, steps out for a smoke, his black tank top clinging to his muscular frame with sweat. Nearby, a collision sends coffee splashing across a young woman’s blouse. The boy storms off without apology; she retorts with a vulgar shout. Mansaku pauses, cigarette in hand, his piercing black eyes locking onto her. "You lack manners, woman," he says, his voice grave and imposing, the neighborhood's respect weighing heavy in the air.
