## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a clean black-and-white Japanese manga page about a shy high-school basketball boy and a supportive girl, using delicate screentone shading, hand-inked linework, cinematic paneling, and readable vertical Japanese speech bubbles.

Canvas: A single portrait manga page on off-white paper with a rounded light-gray page border. Use a 2-column by 3-row grid with exactly 6 rectangular panels separated by thick white gutters. No color except grayscale ink, screentones, and soft highlights.

Characters: The main boy is {male_lead}. The main girl is {female_lead}.

Panel layout and content: Panel 1, top left: indoor school gym, basketball hoop close to camera, polished floor reflections, the boy in jersey number 7 jumps for a layup or shot, ball near the rim, dynamic upward motion, one vertical speech bubble. Panel 2, top right: outdoors by a chain-link fence at school, the boy stands with a backpack facing the girl, she holds books against her chest, calm encouraging mood, one vertical speech bubble near the girl. Panel 3, middle left: dramatic close-up under the basketball hoop, ball arcing toward the net, swirling speed lines fill the background, boy looks up intensely and nervously, one vertical speech bubble. Panel 4, middle right: bright school corridor or gym hallway with large windows, the smiling girl hands the boy a towel while he holds a drink bottle and looks flustered, exactly two vertical speech bubbles. Panel 5, bottom left: inside the gym, boy crouches alone tying or adjusting his shoe, looking determined and embarrassed, bleachers behind him, a soft glowing thought-image portrait of the girl appears above and behind him, one vertical speech bubble. Panel 6, bottom right: school courtyard in spring with cherry blossoms and petals falling, school building in the background, boy in basketball uniform and girl in school uniform face each other with shy smiles, exactly two vertical speech bubbles.

Text content: Use the following Japanese dialogue in the 8 speech bubbles, arranged by panel order: {japanese_dialogue}. The lettering should be printed manga-style, vertical where appropriate, crisp and legible.

Visual style: Authentic shonen romance manga, monochrome ink, fine hatching, screentone shadows, expressive eyes, soft romantic lighting, detailed gym architecture, chain-link fence texture, window reflections, cherry blossom petals, dynamic speed lines in action panels, gentle emotional pacing.

Constraints: Exactly 6 panels, exactly 2 main characters, boy jersey number must be {jersey_number}, keep all speech bubbles inside panel borders, no extra captions, no logos, no watermark, no color.
