Create one full black-and-white manga page about school romance, with exactly 7 panels. Overall style black and white manga page clean ink line art soft screentones elegant character close-ups emotional school romance atmosphere subtle facial expressions delicate hair rendering dramatic use of white space gentle but tense romantic mood polished shoujo / josei-inspired page composition expressive eyes and lips school hallway and classroom setting natural manga speech bubbles no watermark no extra overlay text all dialogue in natural English Story theme A quiet high school girl realizes she is jealous when the boy she likes is surrounded by other girls after class. She tries to act indifferent, but in the end she admits—at least to herself—that she does not want him to belong to anyone else. Main characters Female lead: Aya high school girl long dark straight hair pale skin calm and reserved elegant and cool on the outside secretly possessive and emotionally intense school uniform: white shirt, dark vest, skirt Male lead: Ren handsome high school boy dark slightly messy hair calm, popular, effortlessly charming school uniform: white shirt, dark vest, slacks not arrogant, just naturally admired Side girls / classmates two or three female classmates chatting and admiring Ren help create the jealousy tension Setting modern Japanese-style high school after school corridor outside classrooms classroom doorway soft light from windows quiet romantic tension Page format one page only exactly 7 panels use varied panel sizes emphasize emotional pacing close-ups should be visually strong final panel should be the emotional climax 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.

Building a compelling school romance manga page requires careful attention to emotional pacing, character expression, and panel composition. You want to create a single, polished black-and-white manga page with exactly seven panels that captures a moment of jealousy and emotional vulnerability in a school romance setting. Start by establishing the scene in your first panel with a medium-wide hallway shot showing Ren surrounded by admiring classmates while Aya watches from the side, introducing subtle jealousy through body language and positioning. Use your second panel for a large, beautiful close-up of Aya's face with her dark hair framing one eye as she looks away, conveying restrained emotion through delicate line work and screentone. Panel three narrows to show Aya walking past the group with reactions from both the girls and Ren noticing her tone, creating emotional distance through composition. Panel four expands outward as her friends catch up, offering external commentary that mirrors her internal conflict. Panel five returns to intimate introspection with a side-profile close-up of Aya pausing by a window, her expression tightening as she acknowledges her feelings. In panel six, Ren catches up to her in the empty corridor, creating direct tension through proximity and proximity-based dialogue. Finally, deliver your emotional climax in panel seven with a large, powerful close-up of Aya looking away, vulnerable and honest, as she admits she doesn't want him to belong to anyone else. Throughout the page, maintain elegant black-and-white contrast, use soft screentones for depth, render detailed hair and expressive eyes, and employ white space dramatically to emphasize emotional moments. Keep dialogue natural and sparse, letting the artwork carry the emotional weight of the scene. The result is a refined romance manga page that feels intimate and emotionally honest, balancing Aya's restrained exterior with her passionate interior truth, grounded in authentic school-life details and polished artistic execution.
