Madoka Magica's Yūki Earns 583,000 Yen for Quake Charity
posted on by Gia Manry
The outfit that voice actress Aoi Yūki (Puella Magi Madoka Magica's Madoka, Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes!' Iris) donated to a charity auction for earthquake relief received a final bid of 583,000 yen (about US$7,210) on Monday. Yūki had worn the extra-small outfit for a Gosick special that aired on TV Tokyo on March 18, and she wore it again for TV Tokyo's anime variety show AniSon Plus on March 28. She personally signed the hat and dress of the ensemble.
The anime-themed Manmalu Project organized this and other auctions, and the proceeds will go to Civic Force. This non-profit organization has been responding to natural disasters with relief services since the Niigata Earthquake of 2004. It is now working in aftermath of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake disaster (Higashi Nihon Daishinsai) of March 11.
Yūki thanked everyone for the auction via her official blog on Tuesday, and she expressed surprise at the amount raised.
