## Prompt

```text
Create a glossy Japanese weekly shonen manga magazine cover in the style of a high-energy commercial comic anthology, with a dense, crowded layout, explosive typography, and dramatic cover-line design. The cover is portrait orientation, dominated by a huge red masthead at the top with thick black outlines and yellow accents, plus a secondary English subtitle reading “WEEKLY JUMP.” Add many Japanese teaser blurbs, issue-number boxes, starbursts, side callouts, and circular inset previews arranged around the main character, mimicking a real manga magazine cover packed with text and hype. Place issue details in the upper right, including a date and a large issue number, and add multiple bright promotional banners in yellow, red, white, and black.

Main subject: a handsome anime-style teenage boy martial artist in the center, shown from the waist up in a strong fighting stance with both fists thrust toward the viewer. He has messy layered {hair_color} hair with long bangs partly covering one eye, sharp amber eyes, a confident smirk, and several ear piercings. He wears a soft white panda hat with black ears and panda eye patches on top, and a vivid red Chinese kung fu shirt with black frog closures and black trim, featuring a large black dragon motif on the chest. His pose should feel dynamic and confrontational, as if ready to strike, with foreshortened fists filling the foreground.

Background: a warm, slightly blurred traditional East Asian street or interior market scene with wooden beams, lantern-like red accents, and golden ambient lighting, kept soft so the character and typography dominate. Use fiery yellow energy bursts, black ink splashes, speed-line accents, and paint-like brush effects around the lower half of the cover to amplify impact.

Typography and cover-line design: include 1 giant vertical brush-calligraphy slogan on the left, 1 very large main title across the lower center in aggressive black and red kanji-style lettering, 1 smaller horizontal tagline beneath it in white and yellow, 1 yellow burst in the lower left promoting circulation or sales, 1 red banner near the lower right promoting a special feature, 1 large yellow-and-green feature box in the upper right, and 2 circular inset character preview portraits stacked along the right side with short Japanese teaser text next to each. Also include 1 small skull-emblem graphic near the top center-right integrated into the masthead area. The overall look must feel like a bestselling action manga issue focused on a new martial-arts series titled {series_title}, with the lead character {character_name} presented as a breakout shonen hero. Ultra-saturated colors, crisp anime rendering, polished print-cover finish, dramatic contrast, and authentic magazine-cover composition.
