Bakuon!! Motorcycle Club Anime Collaborating With Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati, Honda, Yamaha

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge

It looks like the upcoming TV and OAV anime adaptation of Mimana Orimoto's Bakuon!! manga is pursuing technical accuracy.

The story revolves around high school girls who discover the appeal of motorcycles. Sakura Hane is a high school student who looks a little bit like an airhead. On the way to her all-female high school one day, she is worn-out climbing a hilly road with a bicycle, but she sees a girl named Onsa Amano who is riding a motorcycle. Sakura immediately becomes interested in motorcycles, and she and Onsa join the motorcycle club at the school. Then, Sakura sets out to get her license.

With motorcycles as a prominent theme, the TV crew are turning to Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati, Honda, and Yamaha motorcycle manufacturers to accurately represent the girls' bikes. Suzuki was already on hand for a figure based on the series, lending its GSX400S Katana to sculptors for reference.

An original anime DVD (OAD) bundled with the manga's seventh compiled book volume is slated for release on March 18, ahead of the TV anime's premiere.
