Aki Toyosaki is once again offering loaded otaku the chance to pay to grab one of her cute bags, with the proceeds to go to charity – but thanks to her new-found scandal seiyuu status, cruel speculation rages amongst seiyuu otaku as to how much less than the $20,000 she received last time will be offered this time, and how badly she will be humiliated as a result.
The last time Toyosaki sold one of her bags for charity, it fetched a tidy ¥1,566,600:
However, this was pre-H@ck and pre-Jude, and seiyuu otaku are now cruelly speculating as to how badly her value to her fans has plunged in the wake of the unbelievable revelation that she has a boyfriend.
The next bag, entitled “I’m always close to you,” seems to bear a somewhat more refined design, and is set to go up for auction April 2nd:
Online, there is much anticipation of a drop in value for such notoriously second-hand merchandise, as well as some appreciation of her artistic skills:
“I can’t wait to see how much less she gets this time!”
“The last time was just an outlier, surely.”
“Cute picture. I want it, but it’s sure to go too high for my like.”
“Aki-chan’s art has such a kindly aura. She should put out a collection of her pictures.”
“I think it would sell!”
Collectors of seiyuu memorabilia expecting it to appreciate will doubtless now be considering the danger of investing in a seiyuu only to have her turn out to be the next Toyosaki or Taketatsu – or even, heaven forfend, another Hirano.

I'd grab her bags every day.
I thinked are her butt XD
Old_Nash
i thougth her breast
That picture of her in the headliner is freaking gorgeous!! Especially that delicious Zettai Ryouiki!
my god these are adorable. back story aside i want one of these things just because they're cute.
She does good work but I don't think it's worth twenty grand. If she were to include a pair of her used panties...
Well it is for charity!
1million usd if you want sleep with me!
now why would i buy a overpriced bag? from a 3D old hag??
Too true. I would rather pay to charity directly than buy an overpriced bag...that if I even have that sort of money.
Kinda digging Toyosaki's funbags #expensivejapaneseshit
Well, I'm against any overpriced apparel. Naturally I wouldn't recommend anyone paying if the auction's price gets out of hand.
Weird thing is, if Toyosaki one day decides to go out of her way and create a label of her own instead of auctioning 'for charity' like she's doing now, shit will still end up being overpriced like all other designer shit out there. Either way, we all lose.
If I was a girl, I'd buy that bag. Just look at how cute that is!
buy it for the 2D on it ¬_¬
I demand we know what the 3D old hag sold for
If your motivation for paying $20k for a bag is to get "that much closer" to Aki then, well I hate to break it to you but...someone else is still fucking her.
Clearly, love of charity is the only sensible motivation here.
She's fucking gorgeous, btw.
DAYUMN! they got me :D
Who cares if a voice actor has boyfriend or not. I bet it is a big problem for majority of autistic people.
Soooooooooooooooo retarded
I'm embarrassed to say i thought they were paying to grope her.
I'm not embararssed to say that I would love to grab her ass
It's a cute drawing. I don't get the hate - I didn't care for her performance of "Hey Jude" but I got to see it for free. If she lives with her boyfriend, that's her personal business.
Deymn!
Drawn in by the troll title!
My god, that art is cute.
I want to buy it,I like the design and its for charity but it will be very expensive for sure so, I can't buy it.. Sad..:C
I like Aki as a VA, I hope she gets more than before. This bag certainly looks like it's worth more than the first one. It's a lot cuter too. If only I had the money ~_~
how can you afford to buy a bag worth $20,000 that doesn't look like it'd survive one trip to the supermarket. you can't even show it off to other people without looking like a complete nut case. i assume after about a year you would feel the ultimate in buyer's remorse, when toyosaki isn't in anime anymore.
It's bags like these that made me regret not pestering my parents enough for a younger sister. She would provide the perfect excuse to buy this tote bag.
I'd buy one of these bags for my girlfriend, provided they sold for a reasonable cost.
reasonable price = humiliation for aki-chan!
Insecure 白person who was probably bullied in senior high for being a porker and will now forever hold a grudge against the world for it confirmed.
Lol so you believe the charity part? lol you're so naive guys.
Just because the charity she donates to is her own bank account doesn't make it any less a charity. You're just giving your money to alleviate her potential poverty as opposed to someone else's!
Soon on SanCom;
Aki Launches Own Line of Goods.
These seiyuu otaku deserve all the ostracizing they get. They bring shame to the rest of us regular perverts who have the sense not to try to shun someone as soon as they show signs of being able to have a healthy human relationship.
As far as the bag, she's not a bad artist. I hope it sells for higher than the asking price just to shove it in the haters' faces.
Whoa whoa, easy there, Aki-chan. Louis Vuitton ain't dead yet.
"Online, there is much anticipation of a drop in value for such notoriously second-hand merchandise"
... I see what you did there... (-_- )
What is wrong with those people XD
Dat bags.
im just interested to see how much will actually go to charity.
god forbid she has a life.
and it's not like her rendition of hey jude was as off key or fucked up as say, 90% of all renditions of the star spangled banner.
God forbid someone doesn't pay $20k for a stupid bag.
Now you're pissed otakus aren't spending their entire life savings buying her crap?
I think the first anon was simply referring to this 'scandal seiyuu' bullshit.
Or did you think it was normal to treat idols and voice actresses like products instead of people?
The bag is quite cute. Disappointed on otakus on why they aren't buying the bag just because it's Aki Toyosaki's since the proceeding will go to charity. I mean, I bet these people who are complaining are the same people who bought all 4 volumes of an Endless Eight (overpriced AND same thing) and multiple tickets just to see Disappearance and the K-On movie.
The funny thing is... I don't see anyone complaining!
Don't see the problem here, at least she isn't desperate enough to sell weird stuff for example; "Half-eaten Burrito with Aki's bite marks." like certain over-popular celebrities would do.
That one that isn't coloured in looks a hell of a lot like Paula from Earthbound. I like that.
Rofl. What the fuck is my comment so downrated for? Is it because I liked what the bag looked like? Is that not allowed because of the super shit Hey Jude she sang? I wish the people who downvoted would at least say why they did instead of being the sort of giant twat I would associate with 2chan, or the stupid fucks who think Obama isn't a US citizen, or other retardation like that.
She drew that?
Awesome
reminded me of a Morishima Akiko chibi pic
Also, people are still dicking over this "scandal"? Pathetic bunch, they are just exhibiting their jealousy because they are not the boyfriend.
But I digress....they are beautiful bags.
drew and embroidered, so its not "just drawn on" actual crafting was involved.
Depending upon how often she stabbed herself with her needles, there might be some of her blood on that bag.
As a crafter myself, it happens.
Cloning projects! What an interesting idea!
