Tokyo Metropolitan Police Recruits Manga To Help With Traffic Safety
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police are collaborating with Mimana Orimoto's Bakuon!! manga series for this spring's motorcycle traffic safety campaign. The police will hold a series of events on motorcycle safety, including its "Spring Road Safety Campaign 2014" event on May 4 in Okutama. The event will include safety participation events and will sell tie-in goods, like autographed posters, magnets, stickers, and a large raffle.
Bakuon!! was previously featured in an itasha motorcycle campaign last year with Hamaguchi Racing. Several itasha motorcycles will be on display at the event.
Orimoto launched manga about a girls' motorcycle club in Akita Shoten's Young Champion Retsu magazine in 2011.
