Detailed 7-panel storyboard
Panel 1
Visual:
A medium-wide shot in a school hallway after class.
Ren stands near the classroom door with his school bag on one shoulder while two girls talk to him.
Aya is in the foreground or to the side, half-turned away, watching.
The corridor is bright but quiet, with classroom windows and soft afternoon light.
Mood:
Jealousy begins, but still subtle.
Dialogue:
GIRL 1: “Ren, are you going to the café with us?”
GIRL 2: “Come on, just for a little while!”
Panel 2
Visual:
Large close-up of Aya’s face.
Her dark hair falls across one eye.
She looks downward with a restrained expression—cool, detached, but obviously bothered.
This panel should be beautiful and emotionally sharp.
Dialogue:
AYA: “I’m going home.”
AYA: “Ask someone else.”
Panel 3
Visual:
Smaller panel showing Aya walking past Ren and the girls.
One of the girls looks confused.
Ren turns his head slightly, noticing Aya’s tone.
The composition should show emotional distance.
Dialogue:
GIRL 1: “Huh?”
GIRL 2: “Did we say something wrong?”
REN: “Aya?”
Panel 4
Visual:
A medium shot of Aya farther down the hallway while two of her friends or classmates catch up to her.
They speak in a teasing, gossip-like way.
Aya keeps walking, pretending not to care.
Mood:
Internal conflict with outside commentary.
Dialogue:
FRIEND 1: “You really turned him down?”
FRIEND 2: “Everyone likes him, you know.”
FRIEND 1: “He’s basically impossible to get close to.”
Panel 5
Visual:
Close side-profile of Aya.
She pauses near the classroom wall or by a window, her expression tightening just a little.
Use screentone shadows and elegant line work.
This panel should feel introspective and quiet.
Dialogue:
AYA (thought): “He’s handsome…”
AYA (thought): “Popular…”
AYA (thought): “And completely unaware of what people feel.”
Panel 6
Visual:
Medium shot from behind Ren as he catches up to Aya in the empty corridor.
He stands just behind her, one hand lightly on the classroom doorframe or holding the strap of his bag.
Aya is caught off guard and turns slightly toward him.
Mood:
The tension becomes direct and intimate.
Dialogue:
REN: “Are you really leaving?”
AYA: “…What do you want?”
REN: “You’re angry.”
Panel 7
Visual:
Final large emotional close-up of Aya.
She looks away, one hand near her lips or chin, trying to stay composed.
Her hair casts shadows across her face.
Aya’s expression is vulnerable, jealous, and honest.
This should be the strongest panel on the page with lots of white space around the speech bubble.
Dialogue:
AYA: “To be honest…”
AYA: “I don’t want you to belong to anybody.”
Extra BO instructions
Make the page feel like a refined romance manga page, not comedy-heavy.
Prioritize elegant black-and-white contrast, soft screentones, and emotional close-ups.
Aya’s jealousy should feel restrained and believable, not exaggerated.
Ren should appear naturally attractive and calm, but not arrogant.
Use subtle school-life background details: corridor windows, classroom door, bags, uniforms.
Speech bubbles should be clean and easy to read.
Do not include watermarks, logos, or unrelated text.
Keep the overall tone quiet, intimate, and romantic.
