  "style_fidelity_anchors": [
    "One dominant hand-drawn manga character occupies roughly two thirds of the frame and breaks across surrounding editorial panels.",

    "Oversized uppercase condensed sans-serif headline spans the upper field, partially hidden behind the hero and cropped by the edges.",
    "Dense asymmetrical magazine-newspaper layout with narrow side columns, boxed dossiers, pull quotes, captions, and small comic insets.",

    "Tokyo Tower, the exact red city skyline, the concentric control-eye diagram, chains, blood splashes tied to the original story, or matching inset panels.",
    "The exact arrangement, size, and placement of the source headline, portrait, sidebars, comic panels, quote blocks, and bottom information card.",
    "Manga publisher marks, anime logos, Japanese title locks, official character art, creator signatures, watermarks, usernames, QR codes, or platform marks.",

  "visual_deconstruction": {
    "overall_style_category": "Japanese manga character profile poster fused with a distressed newspaper dossier and underground editorial spread.",
    "composition_and_layout": "A giant cropped headline crowns the frame; a single foreshortened character overlaps most layers; narrow sidebars, comic crops, quote boxes, diagrams, and a bottom identity card create a dense perimeter.",

    "camera_or_perspective": "Close low-angle wide-lens illustration with deliberate foreshortening; supporting panels remain flat and orthographic like pasted print fragments.",
    "typography_style": "Extra-bold condensed uppercase sans-serif for headlines, compact condensed headings, serif body copy, occasional italic pull quotes, distressed edges, and aggressive cropping.",
    "color_palette_behavior": "Warm paper white carries the page, black builds linework and blocks, deep crimson creates headlines and architectural accents, and gray screentone separates illustration planes.",
    "graphic_elements": "Rule lines, inset manga frames, interview Q-and-A blocks, warning cards, crosshair or radial diagrams, city silhouettes, caption strips, torn wedges, ink splatter, and dry-brush marks.",
    "texture_and_finish": "Aged uncoated paper, coarse halftone, photocopy grain, offset misregistration, dry ink, scratched headline fill, and sharp cut-paper boundaries.",
    "lighting": "Graphic cel-like illumination with hard value separation, white face highlights, deep black costume folds, and no naturalistic ambient gradient.",
    "mood_and_cultural_reference": "Urgent, charismatic, slightly ominous character journalism with manga anthology and counterculture newsprint energy.",
    "reusable_design_rules": "Keep one illustrated hero dominant, preserve the editorial hierarchy and three-color print logic, surround the figure with original story fragments, and make every text block secondary to the silhouette.",
    "things_to_avoid": "No source character, copied layout, copied text, franchise symbolism, full-color anime screenshot, soft romance illustration, glossy 3D render, clean corporate brochure, or photoreal portrait."
  },
  "composition": {
    "primary_structure": "One oversized central manga hero in front of a cropped headline, framed by asymmetric dossier columns and a lower information panel.",
    "layout_grid": "Use a loose twelve-column editorial grid, but let the figure break the grid and overlap at least three modules.",
    "negative_space": "Keep only small warm-paper breathing zones around the face and headline; the perimeter should remain richly populated but organized.",
    "cropping": "Crop the hero below the waist or at the thighs, allow the headline and architecture to run off-frame, and enlarge one prop or gesture in the foreground without copying the source pose.",
    "aspect_adaptation": "For 4:5, stack compact sidebars vertically along both edges while keeping the hero dominant; for 5:4, spread dossier panels laterally while retaining the huge hero and top headline.",
    "depth": "Create depth through illustrated foreshortening and paper-layer overlap, while all editorial modules stay flat."

    "body_copy": "Small serif newspaper columns used as controlled texture; keep lines compact and legible enough to feel intentional.",
    "pull_quotes": "Large crimson condensed quotation blocks with a small italic attribution line.",
    "restrictions": "Use only original short copy; never imitate franchise names, source slogans, publisher title locks, or exact Japanese logotypes."

  "color_palette": {
    "dominant": "Warm uncoated paper white, approximately 50 percent.",
    "secondary": "Carbon black and charcoal grayscale, approximately 32 percent.",
    "accent": "Deep blood-crimson red, approximately 18 percent and never replaced by a rainbow palette.",
    "behavior": "Use crimson for the giant headline, selected hair or costume zones, diagrams, skyline blocks, rules, and splatter; keep all other content grayscale.",
    "contrast": "Hard poster contrast with large solid blacks, exposed paper whites, and sparse middle grays."
  },
  "image_treatment": {
    "rendering_mode": "Original hand-drawn manga illustration integrated with raster newsprint collage, not a screenshot or vector mockup.",
    "linework": "Confident black ink contours, variable-weight hatching, fine facial detail, bold fabric shadows, and selective white knockouts.",
    "tonal_treatment": "Grayscale screentone and crosshatching with limited flat crimson overlays.",
    "finish": "Print-ready high resolution with controlled authentic paper and ink texture; distress must not obscure the hero's face, hands, or typography hierarchy.",
    "text_rendering": "Keep the main headline short and prominent; supporting copy may behave as editorial texture but should avoid random glyph clutter."
  },
  "design_rules": [
    "Match the editorial hierarchy and print grammar before introducing new content.",
    "Use one original hero, one symbolic prop, one giant headline, and six to ten secondary modules.",
    "Let the hero overlap the headline and dossier frames so the page feels physically assembled.",
    "Use only crimson, black, warm paper white, and grayscale; reserve crimson for hierarchy and symbolic emphasis.",
    "Combine condensed display type with serif newspaper copy and small manga dialogue fragments.",
    "Adapt the modular grid to both portrait and landscape without shrinking the hero into a small centered figure.",
    "Keep ink distress and splatter controlled, intentional, and secondary to legibility.",
    "Invent every character, costume, phrase, diagram, inset, skyline, and story premise from scratch."

  "do": [

    "Build sidebars from interviews, diagrams, manga insets, city silhouettes, quotes, and warning cards.",
    "Preserve the warm-paper, black, gray, and crimson print ratio across every case.",
    "Use halftone, paper grain, dry brush, and subtle offset misregistration as tactile print evidence."
  ],
  "avoid": [
    "Do not recreate the source character, costume, pose, expression, text, skyline, symbols, inset art, or panel arrangement.",
    "Do not include franchise titles, publisher marks, creator signatures, logos, watermarks, usernames, or QR codes.",
    "Do not drift into glossy full-color anime, photorealism, 3D rendering, clean vector infographic, or soft watercolor.",
    "Do not use excessive digital noise, heavy blur, illegible glitch text, or chaotic splatter over the subject.",
    "Do not turn the editorial perimeter into unrelated advertising cards, price tags, or app UI."
