Haimiya Is Scary Cute Volume 4 TSUTAYA Bonus Artwork
Haimiya Appears in a New Streetwear Outfit
The TSUTAYA bonus illustration presents Haimiya in an outfit different from her familiar school uniform.
She wears a dark patterned bandana, with sunglasses resting on her head. Her gray hair frames her face, while earrings, neck accessories, and a lollipop complete the streetwear-inspired design.
Her expression is another highlight. The illustration combines Haimiya's sharp gaze with a subtle smile, creating a relaxed yet confident appearance.
The artwork emphasizes another side of a character who is widely regarded as intimidating at school but behaves surprisingly kindly toward Kurose.
The illustration card is a store purchase bonus, not separately announced merchandise.
How to Receive the TSUTAYA Bonus
According to the official TSUTAYA announcement, the illustration card will be provided to customers purchasing Haimiya Is Scary Cute Volume 4 at participating stores.
Distribution begins around the manga's November 6, 2026 release date and continues only while supplies last.
Not every TSUTAYA location is guaranteed to participate. Readers are advised to confirm the participating stores and bonus availability before purchasing.
TSUTAYA also recommends contacting individual stores about reservations. In-store reservations must be handled through a staffed service counter.
This TSUTAYA illustration differs from the maid-themed mini photo-style card announced for other participating retailers in Square Enix's promotional campaign.
Volume 4 Comes in Two Editions
Haimiya Is Scary Cute Volume 4 will be published by Square Enix on November 6, 2026, in two editions.
The standard edition costs ¥792, while the special edition is priced at ¥1,518. Both are released in B6 format.
The special edition includes the series' first 44-page full-color booklet, containing more than 45 illustrations, including new artwork by Sumu Kamiyama and previously uncollected color images.
In the story, Volume 4 continues the developing relationship between Kurose and Haimiya. After Koyuki asks whether he likes Haimiya, Kurose begins reconsidering his feelings and searching for a way to catch her attention.
Meanwhile, Haimiya unexpectedly ends up wearing a maid outfit, adding another comedic situation to the pair's evolving romance.
Why This Matters
1) The artwork highlights a different side of Haimiya
Her bandana, accessories, and relaxed expression offer another variation on the character's appearance beyond her school uniform and the previously revealed maid design.
2) Different retailers offer different collectibles
Collectors have a reason to pay attention to the retailer, since TSUTAYA's illustration card is distinct from the bonuses offered by other bookstore chains.
3) The manga's central relationship continues to develop
Beyond the promotional illustrations, the new volume advances Kurose's understanding of his feelings toward Haimiya.
