Generates a monochrome four-panel shojo horror manga page set in an eerie old Japanese corridor with vertical narration boxes.
Goal: Create a black-and-white shojo horror manga page titled 籠目, page indicator 1/8, adapting an eerie scene in an old Japanese mansion corridor. Use delicate manga linework, soft gray screentones, high-detail wood grain, romantic character rendering, and unsettling quiet horror atmosphere.
Canvas: Vertical manga page, portrait orientation, white outer margin, thin black page border, with the title at the top left and page number at the top right. Monochrome only, printed manga texture, no color.
Layout: Use exactly 4 panels separated by thick black gutters. Panel 1 occupies the full width across the top half of the page. Panel 2 is a full-width narrow horizontal panel underneath. Panel 3 is the lower-left large portrait panel. Panel 4 is the lower-right tall corridor panel.
Panel 1: A deep one-point-perspective hallway in an old Japanese house, with shoji windows along the left side casting rectangular lattice shadows across the wooden floor. At the far end are closed sliding doors. Centered in the hallway, seen from behind, stands a slender young person in a kimono and hakama, with long pale hair tied into a braid down the back. The figure is still, facing the closed doors. Add exactly 2 vertical narration boxes: one at the upper right and one at the lower left. The upper-right box says in Japanese vertical text: "奥の間の襖を引くとき、私はいつも少しだけ息を止める". The lower-left box says: "開けた瞬間の空気の温度を、確かめる癖がついてしまった。"
Panel 2: Extreme horizontal close-up from the side of the same androgynous beautiful character’s face and hand. Their damp-looking light hair falls over their eyes, expression calm but tense, wearing an earring. One hand reaches toward or touches a round sliding-door pull. Add exactly 1 vertical narration box on the right saying: "三月ほどかけて整えた。誰にも言わずに。"
Panel 3: Lower-left close portrait of the same character from the chest up, elegant shojo style, long pale wavy hair gathered into a side braid, one hand thoughtfully touching the chin. The background is very dark with a subtle cage-like or hexagonal wire pattern, adding horror symbolism. Add exactly 1 white vertical text box on the left with large Japanese text: "そう" and smaller text below: "造った。"
Panel 4: Lower-right panel showing an empty old wooden corridor and sliding wall in perspective, with shoji light spilling into darkness; the far hallway fades into black. Include exactly 2 vertical narration boxes: one near the upper right saying: "駐屋の書斎と地続きでありながら、" and one lower left saying: "この部屋にだけ隠れていた本余計に折れている。"
Subject details: The character is a youthful, pale, delicate shojo-manga protagonist with silver-white messy long hair, a thick braid, fine eyelashes, small earrings, and a dark traditional Japanese outfit. Their mood is quiet, secretive, and haunted rather than overtly frightened.
Visual style: Highly detailed monochrome manga, fine pen hatching, screentone shading, realistic architectural perspective, antique Japanese interior, luminous shoji-window lighting, romantic shojo facial features mixed with horror manga darkness. Keep all text in vertical Japanese manga caption boxes, crisp and legible, with no speech balloons.
Constraints: Use exactly 4 panels and exactly 6 text boxes total. Do not add extra characters, extra panels, modern objects, color, sound effects, or watermarks.
