Bakuon!! Manga to Bundle 2nd Original Anime DVD in December

The official website for the television anime of Mimana Orimoto's Bakuon!! manga announced on Tuesday that the manga's ninth compiled book volume will bundle a second original anime DVD (OAD) and an exclusive sticker on December 20. The OAD will center on Hijiri Minowa (Rikako Yamaguchi), and will adapt the manga's 40th chapter "Maid!!" which was not portrayed in the television anime. The site unveiled a visual of Hijiri Minowa with her Ducati 399 Panigale.

The 12-episode television anime adaptation premiered on April 4. Crunchyroll and The Anime Network streamed the series. Sentai Filmworks licensed the series, and describes it:

Moe and motorcycles have never looked better together in this sports comedy about a group of students in the motorcycle club of their all-girls school. When Hane Sakura sees the wild-hearted Onsa Amano riding a motorcycle to school, Sakura is inspired to join the motorcycle club and get her license. However, nothing could have prepared her for the challenges, or the joys, that come with hitting the road on the wings of a real bike!

Orimoto (Mahou Shoujo Neko X, Maid in Japan) launched the manga series in Akita Shoten's Young Champion Retsu magazine in February 2011. Akita Shoten published the manga's seventh compiled book volume on March 18. The seventh volume bundled the first OAD, which debuted in March ahead of the television anime's April premiere. Akita Shoten will ship the eighth volume on Wednesday, July 20.
