Petanko idol Nagi, of Kannagi, can be found cosplaying various popular characters in these official illustrations, due to be distributed as telephone cards with the limited edition of the first volume of the DVD, at certain shops.
From the left, they are: Animate (Miku), Sofmap (Niagi), Anibro Gamers (Saber), Tora no Ana (Arcueid of Tsukihime). The limited edition also comes with a drama CD, extra images, posters, commentary, etc.
Another interesting Kannagi illustration for later:
It would make sense if it said “¥100 a confession (Zange)”, but what it actually says is “Zange-chan ¥100 a go”. Interpreting this is left to you.
Putting all this into context, Akiba shops have lately been desperately pursuing such promotional measures in the face of competition from Internet retailers.
For some reason customers just don’t see the need to traipse half way accross Tokyo to pack themselves into a grotty little shops and pay mediocre prices for goods they can order online for a quarter less. Who would have thought?
On an unrelated note, otherwise nondescript technical instrument company NewOpto have also decided to dress their mascot as Nagi; apparently they have a tradition of having her cosplay various characters:
In fact it seems she never appears out of cosplay at all…
They seem to be very much the otaku company:

She's doing also what Konata is doing. Not too original, though the Yuri bit might have boosted the popularity. ^^;
I hardly knew a wit about Kannagi before the new season started, just the subtitle "Crazy Shrine Maidens". Now the anime really seems to have taken off.
Wow, firstly we have Kagamiku, and now a Kannamiku?? Nice one... ^^
Nice one ~desu.
Damn. Nagi + Saber = automatic win
Unsure if you're aware of it, but the one you've listed under "Tsukihime" is a Phantasmoon version of Arcueid.
If only she had Caster's staff too...oh well, her magical stick kind of looks like the Kaleidostick, so it's not COMPLETELY unrelated.
Thanks, I wasn't sure how to romanise it correctly so I cravenly left it out.
I just had a coma back there @Nagi cosplaying as Miku
needs moar saber
Nagi cosplaying Nia and Miku turns me on, sexually even.
Nagi as Nia? You've blown my mind, good sir.
Needs moar Haruhi
