Use the uploaded image as the sole reference for identity, pose, framing, and composition.
GOAL
Transform the image into a high-contrast 2D Japanese anime illustration rendered strictly in black and white only, as if drawn for a manga or monochrome anime cutscene.
STYLE (STRICT)
Pure 2D hand-drawn Japanese anime style
Black ink linework on white background
No color at all — grayscale is allowed only as screen tone or ink wash
Sharp, confident line art with varied line weight (thicker outlines, finer interior lines)
Clean anime facial construction: simplified nose, expressive eyes, clear mouth shape
Hair drawn with bold directional strokes and layered strands
Clothing rendered with crisp folds and graphic shadows
SHADING & TONE
Use traditional manga techniques only:
  – Solid black shadow blocks
  – Cross-hatching
  – Screentone dot patterns
  – Ink wash gradients (very subtle)
Strong contrast between light and shadow
Shadows should define form clearly, not softly blend
White space is intentional and graphic
ANIME AESTHETIC REFERENCES (IMPLICIT)
Modern Japanese manga illustration
Monochrome anime key visuals
Editorial manga panels and cover art
Cinematic black-and-white anime stills
CAMERA & COMPOSITION
Preserve the original camera angle, crop, and framing exactly
Maintain natural anime perspective (no photoreal depth blur)
Background simplified into line art or flat black/white shapes
Depth suggested through line density, not blur
IDENTITY & RETENTION (CRITICAL)
Same person, same face identity, same expression
Same pose, proportions, and body structure
Same outfit, hairstyle, and accessories
No redesign, no stylization of identity
FORBIDDEN
No color, no pastel, no sepia
No painterly or watercolor effects
No 3D, no CGI, no realism
No Western comic style
No sketchy unfinished lines
FINAL OUTPUT
A clean, high-impact black-and-white Japanese anime illustration that looks like a finished manga panel or anime promotional still.
