Ahead of Tsumugi’s October 30 release, the new artwork spans Gothic Lolita portraits, seaside photographs and animal-inspired styling, with different extras at nine retailers.
Choosing a copy of Tsumugi Nanase’s first photobook now comes with a choice of portraits, too. Imagica Infos has revealed the retailer-bonus artwork for Tsumugi, from photographic prints to acrylic merchandise, alongside exclusive covers for Infosquare and Amazon Japan.
The voice actress’s print photobook is scheduled for October 30, 2026. Seiyu Grand Prix handles editing and production.

The photographs follow Nanase before and after she cut her below-knee-length hair in spring 2026. Gothic Lolita clothing, kimono, Chinese-style dresses and Y2K-inspired styling feature in the long-haired shoots. After the haircut, the concepts include European boy-inspired clothing and animal-themed outfits, alongside loungewear and softly styled dresses. The book also documents the haircut itself.
In her supplied comment, Nanase says the collection brings together concepts she wanted to try, recording everything from her longest-ever hair to her short cut.
The three main-book covers make that contrast easy to see. The standard cover uses a close portrait with short hair and pale knitwear. Infosquare’s version pairs her bob with a white blouse beside a window; Amazon’s takes a darker direction, with a lace bonnet and patterned cushion.
The publisher says the bonus photographs were newly taken during the book’s shoots. These are the announced configurations and tax-inclusive prices; bonus supplies are limited and offers may change.
The reproduced signatures on the bonus artwork are printed, not handwritten autographs. The Gamers booklet and Infosquare additional photobook are separate extras; their page counts do not describe the main book.
Animate and Gamers are accepting lottery applications for signing events on January 16, 2027, in Tokyo, and January 17, 2027, in Osaka city. The venues have not been disclosed. Nanase will sign a chosen page and add the recipient’s name.
The announced application deadline is December 13, 2026, with winner notifications expected in late December. A purchase does not guarantee admission: consult the separate Animate application instructions or Gamers event page for qualifying purchases and entry procedures.
