The Railgun Cast Become Soccer Stars

The electrifying Misaka Mikoto and her lovely young cohorts from To Aru Kagaku no Railgun recently made several appearances at Tokyo’s Ajinomoto Stadium in collaboration with soccer team Tokyo Verdy, hopefully exploiting the narrow crossover between football fans and To Aru otaku.

The stadium showed Railgun characters on its screens at opportune moments during the game – and also had a multitude of Railgun-related goods available for purchase.
