Kotoura-san's name card set

After the beginning of the TV series, the name card sets featuring Kotoura-san have been flying off the shelves and the tourist bureau of the town is planning more collaboration projects. Although Kotura is not the model town of Kotoura-san, the author decided to title the manga after the town.

No, but seriously, I can understand why it happened for GuP since we saw during a tank fight what the city looked like, but for Kotoura-san, meh.
Wonder what's the big deal. There was nothing in the show that was any different from any other town. Just a school and a street.
Besides, as the initial post said, the author got the name for Kotoura-san by picking the name from the name of the town. So it is only natural that he agrees with the town's proposal of using the manga for a collaboration project to boost local tourism. NOW THAT IS THE BIG DEAL - How often did you see collaboration coming from this kind of back story??

I checked Kotoura Newsletter. Gee, they hire native English speakers as TAs for English class. Must be fun to live there.

I thought the title of this article was that terrorists attacked a town that's the setting in an anime haha...
.....that'd be a lot more interesting at least.
That would be an AKB0048 concert in Kotourachou...

Maybe towns will stand in line with manga and anime to get their town used as a model

Well if it go similarities with the real place, that will be a boost for the town. You know, money here money come.
