'Michiko to Hatchin (ミチコとハッチン)': Translation of plot summary and character bios

I am sure fans of Samurai Champloo have been on the look out for news of this new series from Manglobe for some time, and finally they updated the official website with the following info:

Plot summary: Hatchin is a girl who is brought up by foster parents and yearns to escape and live freely. However, she doubts that it is possible. But one day, a woman named Michiko Marandoro appeared to take her away. Michiko is a sexy diva who vows to live freely and broke through a jail which is said to be impossible for jailbreak. The story is set in a country of radiant sunlight and primary colours, where it is a dangerous lawless zone once you step out to wilderness. Along with Latino music, Michiko lives blithely, and Hatchin lives in the freedom she dreams of... From two women of incompatible personalities, comes an impossible escape full of thriller!

Michiko: Age unknown. No permanent residence. Unemployed. Endless previous police records. She has a fearfully beautiful face and body. She was imprisoned in a jail that was said to be impossible to break out of, but she breaks out once she learns of Hatchin's existence. She is full of self-confidence in a groundless way, and she is always optimistic. She acts with the resolution that she should never rely on anybody. She is an attractive woman who would act with full force and go through any foolish length in order to achieve her goals.

Hatchin: She is the daughter of the man whom Michiko loves, and her real name is Hana. She is a girl who raised by a strict, Spartan foster family for as long as she remembers. There is nothing cold but inwardly strong about her. She thinks of running away from her stern foster parents, but then she would think that after all they have brought her up all along... She hopes to have someone coming one day to take her away. Her wish is granted, but that someone is none other than the outrageous Michiko.

Hiroshi: He is Michiko's lover who ran away and the father of Hatchin. He is nice to everybody but often that is the cause of problems. He is a boob who often fails at things. But he is pleasant to his companions. He is full of love and without hate. He should have died in a bus explosion accident but...

Atsuko: A childhood friend of Michiko, or more precisely she was abused by Michiko when they were young. She vows to get even with Michiko and eventually became a policewoman. She rejoices at the fact that if Michiko is thrown into jail she would be able to see Michiko suffering, and approaches Satoshi for a deal. However, Michiko broke out of jail. After thinking damn to herself, she begins to chase after Michiko with great relish.

So there you have it. It looks to be a wacky road-trip series like Samurai Champloo. This October would seem to be a much more promising season than last year (which was utterly lacklustre) - thanks to heavyweights like Michiko to Hatchin and Tytania.

You are welcome.

Hehe, I can't wait. :D
I just hope that the series will be successful, so that Manglobe has enough money to keep high quality animation (unlike Ergo proxy, where characters were sometimes drawn in a painful way)...
Otherwise, if it has good music and coolness, I don't care about story.
