Use case: illustration-story
Asset type: a single static practice image and WordPress featured image for an educational article about animating an original manga panel.

Primary request: Create exactly one original black-and-white 2D manga panel, a wide 16:9 composition. Use clean ink linework and restrained screentones.

Scene/backdrop: A quiet residential street just after rain, with a few subtle wet-ground reflections. Keep the background simple and sparse so the characters are easy to identify.

Subjects: On the left stands a young adult woman with short black hair, a simple light-colored cardigan, and plain casual clothing. She looks down toward a small black-and-white patched cat at the lower right. Her expression is calm and neutral. Her face and outfit have simple, distinct shapes that are easy to keep consistent in later animation. The cat sits slightly side-on, with its head at a natural neutral height, leaving room for a later subtle head-lifting animation. Its entire body and tail must be clearly visible.

Composition/framing: Both the woman's full body and the cat's full body, ears, paws, and tail are fully inside the frame with generous margins. Keep all subjects comfortably within the central safe area; nothing touches or is cropped by the edges. Preserve moderate negative space and a clear visual relationship between the woman and cat.

Style/medium: Hand-drawn black-and-white 2D manga, clean expressive ink lines, modest halftone shading, no color.

Constraints: One continuous scene only. No text, captions, speech bubbles, logos, watermarks, panel subdivisions, UI elements, or playback indicators. This is a still educational image. Do not make it photographic or 3D.
