Madoka Magica Voice Actress Aoi Yūki Teaches World History

Chukei, a Kadokawa Group Publishing company, will release a book that teaches world history with the help of Puella Magi Madoka Magica's lead voice actress Aoi Yūki in April. Goroawase Rōdoku CD Tsuki Sekai-Shi Marugoto Nendai Anki 180 uses illustrations and Japanese word puns to help students memorize 180 important dates in history.

Yūki helps students drill through these memorization tips by reading the word puns aloud on the included CD. Yūki just won the Best Lead Actress Award in the 6th Annual Seiyū Awards this week.

Chukei also published a similar book for Japanese history with K-ON!! voice actress Aki Toyosaki and Di Gi Charat illustrator Koge Donbo last year. Chukei released a book last April that teaches English with Nagaru Tanigawa's Haruhi Suzumiya science-fiction comedy light novel series, and another book that teaches chemistry with Lucky Star characters in 2010.
