## Prompt

```text
Using REFERENCE_0 as the layout and gag concept, transform the ASCII-art scene into a polished full-color Japanese manga/cartoon illustration. Keep the same basic composition: a cat on top of an Ehime mikan cardboard box, striking a ramen bowl with chopsticks, with sound effects on the left and a speech bubble on the right.

Style: Convert the monochrome text-art into a lively hand-drawn anime illustration with clean ink lines, warm colors, expressive motion lines, comic impact bursts, and a white background. Make the cat cute but angry/frustrated, with flushed cheeks, open shouting mouth, and an orange sitting on its head.

Additions and details: Add a large ramen bowl in front of the cat, two chopsticks held like drumsticks, yellow impact sparks where the chopsticks hit the bowl, and a realistic cardboard fruit crate texture. Add exactly 5 loose whole oranges around the scene: 1 on the cat’s head, 1 in front of the box near center, 1 at bottom left, 1 at bottom center, and 1 at bottom right. Also show 2 printed oranges on the front of the cardboard box.

Legal-complaint theme additions: Add stacks of documents and complaint paperwork around the box, including a large pile at lower left labeled 「訴状」 with a red stamp, loose sheets in the foreground stamped 「提出済」, and a thick dark blue legal book at lower right labeled 「民事訴訟法」 with a sticky note reading 「いつまで待たせる気なの？」. Include scattered papers, tabs, envelopes, and crumpled paper balls to make the scene feel chaotic.

Text to preserve or recreate: Keep the box label as {box_label}. Keep two left-side star sound effects reading 「チン」. Keep the upper-right chant text as {chant_text}. Keep the right speech bubble text as {speech_bubble_text}. Use bold, legible Japanese lettering, not ASCII characters.

Constraints: Do not keep the ASCII-art look; fully reinterpret it as a colorful comic illustration while retaining the original joke, layout, and main Japanese text.
