Rainy Hydrangea Romance Manga

Goal: Create a polished two-panel romantic shoujo manga page set in a rainy hydrangea garden, with cinematic lighting and delicate semi-realistic anime rendering.

Canvas: Vertical page, approximately 4:5 aspect ratio, divided into exactly 2 horizontal panels with thin black borders and a narrow gutter between them. Use soft sunlight after rain, sparkling wet leaves, and a dreamy atmospheric depth of field.

Panel 1: A young man, a stylish young Japanese man with wavy light brown hair, stands on the right side of a wet garden path, shown from about mid-thigh upward. His face is intentionally left as a smooth blurred/blank skin-tone rectangle with no facial features. He wears a pale blue open button-up shirt over a white T-shirt, a slim silver necklace, and small earrings. On the left and foreground, show many blooming hydrangeas in blue, purple, and pink, with glossy rain droplets on the leaves. The path recedes into a lush green park with a wooden fence and a black lamppost in the distance. Include exactly 1 vertical white narration box near the upper left containing Japanese text: 雨上がりの紫陽花って\nなんでこんなに\nきれいなんだろう—.

Panel 2: A wider romantic encounter on the same wet hydrangea path. On the left foreground, show a close-up side view of the same young man from chest up, his head turned toward the arriving woman; keep his face featureless/blurred in the same way. On the right midground, show a young Japanese woman with long softly curled brown hair walking toward him in a white, airy, long-sleeved summer dress with subtle floral embroidery and a light beige shoulder bag. Her face is also softly blurred/blank with no facial features. She lifts one hand near her hair as if apologetically greeting him. The path is wet and reflective, surrounded by blooming hydrangeas and backlit green trees. Include exactly 1 oval speech bubble between the characters containing Japanese dialogue: 待った—？\nごめん、ちょっと\n遅れちゃった！. Include exactly 1 vertical white narration box on the right containing Japanese text: —足音が聞こえて、\n彼女が来たのが分かった。. Include exactly 1 small handwritten sound effect near the speech bubble reading 「はあ」 and exactly 3 small red emphasis marks near the woman’s head.

Visual style: High-quality Japanese romance manga illustration, soft watercolor-like coloring, refined line art, luminous highlights, rain-washed atmosphere, detailed hydrangea blossoms, realistic fabric folds, gentle romantic mood. Keep the faces deliberately obscured as smooth blurred rectangles while the hair, clothes, and environment remain detailed.

Element count requirements: exactly 2 panels; exactly 2 recurring characters; exactly 3 main text containers total consisting of 2 vertical narration boxes and 1 oval speech bubble; exactly 1 handwritten sound effect; no extra dialogue boxes, no extra characters, no logos or watermarks.
