Volume 1 of 一番街でつかまえて～14歳から始めるぼったくりキャッチ～ (Ichibangai de Tsukamaete: 14-sai kara Hajimeru Bottakuri Catch), drawn by Tanaka Raita and based on an original story by ika30, went on sale on November 13 via Flex Comix.

Story

Rooted in ika30’s own real-life experiences with “bottakuri catch” (luring customers into overpriced establishments), the series is a comedy set in the world of nightlife work. The protagonist, Nitta Ichigo, is a 14-year-old girl with no home, no schooling, and no family to speak of. She drifts into Kabukicho — the city that never sleeps — where she is approached by Ichigaya Vanilla, who draws her into the world of street touting. What follows is Ichigo’s unexpectedly lively new life.

What’s Inside Volume 1

The interior cover of the first volume features a character-design specification sheet created by Sanada Juichi, the original character designer, along with behind-the-scenes production notes written by ika30 herself.

Voice Comics to Celebrate the Release

Three voice comics were produced to mark the launch: Episode 1, Episode 2, and a bonus side-story episode. Ito Yuina voices Nitta Ichigo, while Amaya Yumi voices Ichigaya Vanilla.
