Six Panels, One Storyboarding Exam
Right-to-left reading order, panel transitions like variables being assigned in sequence.
✍️ The right-to-left reading direction has to be hard-coded — leave it out and the AI will likely default to Western left-to-right layout. That one variable determines whether it actually reads as manga format, and it's more likely to trip things up than any art-style keyword.

A genuine full manga page, not a poster and not a single illustration — real black-and-white sequential panels, authentic Japanese manga style, clean ink linework, screentones, dramatic shadows, speed lines, expressive close-ups, right-to-left reading flow.
Story: in a rainy urban alley at night, a young male protagonist confronts a mysterious masked enemy. Spread the sequence across 5 to 6 panels — an establishing shot of the alley, a medium shot of the protagonist, a close-up on his eyes, a close-up on the enemy's mask, a beat of rising tension, then a large final action panel where the protagonist charges through puddles. Render wet pavement, dripping pipes, narrow buildings, cables, dim lights and urban textures fully in manga style.
Vary panel sizes and use cinematic framing throughout. Layer in screentones, cross-hatching, rain effects, impact lines, manga-style speech bubbles. Keep the page balanced and readable, with strong storytelling and a polished, published-manga finish.
