We got the formalized news yesterday that the manga series Bakuon!! anime adaptation had expanded to being both a TV and OVA project, though there still wasn’t a lot in the way of details. The launch of the official site wasn’t quite ready as when you clicked it you would get a page that just said “text” and that was it. Now it’s working and you can see the full first cast key visual below, which certainly sets the tone for it.
The seventh volume of the manga series is set to land on March 18th, 2016 and will have a limited edition bundle with the OVA. We’er also going to be getting a TV series that will premiere next year, and while no season is set we’re guessing for a spring debut after the OVA arrives. No information on the cast or production teams have been revealed yet.
The series comes from Mimama Orimoto and was launched back in 2011. The manga is not Orimoto’s first as they have several short form books out there over the years prior of varied types, but all playing within familiar tropes.
Plot concept: The story revolves around high school girls who discover the appeal of motorcycles. Hane Sakura 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. Hane immediately becomes interested in motorcycles, and she and Onsa join the motorcycle club at the school. Then, Sakura sets out to get her license.
