Manga Hamster Friend at Mall

Goal: Create a black-and-white manga page about a fashionable young man meeting a tiny anthropomorphic hamster friend at a busy indoor shopping plaza.

Canvas: Vertical manga page, roughly 2:3 aspect ratio, clean white page with thin black outer border and thick black gutters. Highly detailed monochrome pen-and-ink line art with screentone-style shading, realistic architectural perspective, elegant shoujo/seinen manga character rendering.

Layout: Use exactly 6 panels. Panel 1 is a wide establishing shot across the full top width. Panel 2 is another wide panel below it. Panel 3 row has two panels: a narrow close-up of the man on the left and a wider hamster panel on the right. Panel 4 row has two panels: a narrow vertical hamster-hand gag panel on the left and a wider final panel on the right.

Setting: A modern indoor mall or station concourse with glossy tiled floors, tall glass storefronts, crowds of pedestrians, overhead direction signs, a circular indoor fountain, and a clothing store in the final panel. Include English signage such as “Central Plaza” on a directional sign and “SELECTED MEN'S WEAR” above the clothing shop, plus a small “NEW ARRIVAL” sign near the shop entrance.

Characters: The main human character is a tall handsome young man with tousled wavy dark hair, sharp eyes, a calm aloof expression, wearing a black long coat over a black turtleneck with a long scarf and pendant necklace. The small companion is a round fluffy hamster wearing a tiny beret and bow tie, holding or standing near a smartphone, expressive and cute.

Panel details: Panel 1: Wide establishing shot of the shopping plaza fountain from a distance. Many pedestrians walk around. The tiny hamster sits on the rim of the circular fountain, looking down at a smartphone, with small sound text near it. Panel 2: Medium-wide shot showing the handsome man in the left foreground, facing slightly right, noticing something; the fountain with the tiny hamster appears on the right side in the background. Panel 3 left: Tight close-up of the man’s face, serious and slightly puzzled. Panel 3 right: Close shot of the hamster on the fountain rim, waving one paw energetically while standing on or beside the smartphone. Panel 4 left: Comedic close-up of a human hand pinching and lifting the hamster gently by the tiny beret; the hamster dangles with startled paws. Panel 4 right: Final medium-wide shot in front of the menswear shop. The man stands in profile, holding the hamster on his open palm while looking toward the store window with suits and racks of clothes.

Visible text and effects: Include exactly 8 text elements: 1) the overhead sign “Central Plaza”; 2) small Japanese sound effect てちてち near the hamster in panel 1; 3) speech bubble from the man in panel 2 reading ん？; 4) silent speech bubble in panel 3 left reading “……” ; 5) hamster speech bubble in panel 3 right reading あ、こっちだよー; 6) large Japanese sound effect in panel 4 left reading “わしっ”; 7) small hamster speech bubble in panel 4 left reading “え？”; 8) final speech bubbles in panel 4 right: the man says “……ハムスターに似合う服を見に行くから服屋から回るぞ” and the hamster replies “えぇ…………”.

Style constraints: Do not use color. Keep the page polished and cinematic, with delicate hatching, realistic crowd silhouettes, crisp panel borders, detailed clothing folds, and expressive manga faces. The hamster should remain tiny compared with the man, creating a humorous contrast. Avoid extra panels, extra dialogue, watermarks, or modern UI overlays.
