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.
