A sketch of a Lucky Star character by popular game illustrator Naru Nanao has sold for 1,311,000 yen (about US$14,000) in an online auction.
Naru Nanao is the artist’s pseudonym. She’s famous in Japan as a character designer for video games and also light visual novels.
She originally drawn the sketch of the Kagami Hiiragi character to mark the end of the Lucky Star anime series.
She’s not part of the team producing the anime nor manga though. The artwork was a special gift in a lucky draw by a magazine in 2007.
It means the money will go to the reader who won it back then, LUCKY.
