## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a vertical Japanese manga page for Tanabata, romantic comedy tone, showing a misunderstanding about wish strips on a bamboo tree between two stylish anime characters.

Canvas: Tall vertical comic page, approximately 2:3 aspect ratio, with clean white panel gutters and dynamic diagonal manga panel borders. Nighttime interior/exterior balcony setting with a deep blue starry sky and Milky Way visible through large windows. Highly polished modern anime illustration, detailed lighting, glossy shadows, cinematic blue moonlight mixed with warm indoor lamp light.

Characters: Use two recurring characters consistently across all panels. The male lead is {male_character_description}. The female lead is {female_character_description}.

Layout: Exactly 6 panels. Panel 1 is a wide top panel spanning the full page width. Panels 2 and 3 sit beneath it side by side, with panel 2 narrow on the left and panel 3 larger on the right. Panels 4 and 5 sit below, with panel 4 on the left showing the boy alone and panel 5 larger on the right showing both characters arguing near the bamboo. Panel 6 is a wide full-width chibi gag panel at the bottom with a pastel background.

Panel details:
1. Wide top panel: The blue-haired boy stands by a bamboo branch covered with colorful Tanabata tanzaku wish papers, carefully tying or checking a light-blue strip. Starry night sky fills the left background, bamboo leaves and hanging wish strips fill the right. Include about 7 visible hanging wish strips in blue, yellow, pink, purple, and tan.
2. Middle-left panel: The gothic girl peeks through ornate double doors from a warmly lit room, surprised and curious. Add one vertical speech bubble saying {girl_surprised_line}.
3. Middle-right panel: Close-up of the girl beside bamboo leaves and tanzaku, smiling teasingly with red eyes bright, one hand near her ear. Add one vertical speech bubble saying {girl_teasing_line}. Show about 5 colorful wish strips hanging around her.
4. Lower-left panel: The boy turns back in embarrassment, holding a tan wish strip partly hidden behind him, sweat drop and startled manga mark above his head. No large dialogue needed.
5. Lower-right panel: The boy and girl face each other indoors near the balcony and bamboo. The boy looks defensive with one hand on his hip, the girl smiles with eyes closed, teasing him. Add two speech bubbles: boy says {boy_excuse_line}; girl says "そかそか".
6. Bottom full-width chibi panel: Simplified cute chibi versions on a pale lavender dotted background. The boy is flustered, blushing and puffing, holding several rectangular tanzaku papers that fly from his hands; the girl giggles with eyes closed and hand near mouth. Add small cartoon steam puffs, sparkle stars, and motion marks. Exactly 5 loose tanzaku papers should be visible in this gag panel.

Text and lettering: Use Japanese manga-style vertical speech bubbles with clean black text on white bubbles. Keep the visible dialogue exactly as specified. Do not add extra narration boxes or sound effects beyond small decorative emotion marks.

Visual style: Premium glossy anime manga rendering, detailed hair strands, delicate faces, high contrast moonlit atmosphere, elegant gothic fashion, romantic Tanabata decorations, expressive comedy beats, crisp white gutters, no watermark, no logo.
