Since her debut in the joint Japan-Korea audition “Nizi Project,” MAYA has continued to perform in a wide range of fields as a member of NiziU. This heartwarming coming-of-age story follows Navi, a pure white butterfly, as she spreads her wings in search of her true self. The cover, released today, features a large image of the main character, Navi, preparing for her departure. The cover image conveys Maya’s rich expressive abilities and her warm, compassionate personality, even in just one image. In addition, starting on the release date of this book, Wednesday, December 24, 2025, original merchandise featuring the picture book characters will be available for purchase at Daikanyama T-Site, Umeda T-Site, and Karuizawa Bookstore Nakakaruizawa. We will be offering limited-edition original goods, such as key chains, bookmarks, and cushions, featuring characters lovingly drawn by MAYA herself. Like the story itself, artist MAYA has jumped into a new genre. Her new challenges continue. Stay tuned!
