 * (June 7, 2013) Ore no Imouto and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun collaboration! In a queer turn of events, Dengeki Bunko's channel in Nico Nico Douga has announced a collaboration project between Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. With this, the Ore no Imouto's author, Fushimi Tsukasa has written a story on how the characters of Ore no Imouto will meet the characters of Railgun. Although both franchises have had crossover advertisements before, this would be the first time the universes would be shown to crossover. This is unlike his story that was published in Pseudedigrapha Railgun, which showed that the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index is a work of fiction in the world of Ore no Imouto. Synopsis: "One day Kirino is offered the job of having a live talk over Niconico Live with Mikoto Misaka the level five psychic from Academy City. 'Maybe she'll introduce me to her little sisters if we get along.. ehehehe' so saying she immediately accepts the job and visits the Niconico main office with Kyousuke but...!?"
