Rainy Hydrangea Romance Manga Page

Goal: Create a polished two-panel shoujo manga page set in a rainy hydrangea garden, with cinematic sunlight after rain, delicate line art, soft watercolor coloring, and romantic-drama pacing.

Canvas: Vertical manga page in a 4:5 ratio, divided into exactly 2 horizontal panels with thin black borders: one wide top panel and one wide bottom panel. Use a refined Japanese romance manga style with highly detailed foliage, glossy wet stone path, bokeh sunlight, and gentle pastel colors.

Layout: Panel 1 occupies the top half. Show a tall young man on the right side, half-body view, standing beside a hydrangea-lined garden path after rain. He has a featureless softly blurred rectangular face area, tousled light brown hair, a pale blue open button-up shirt over a white T-shirt, a simple silver necklace, and a small black stud earring. On the left and foreground, show lush wet hydrangea bushes with exactly 9 prominent flower heads visible: 3 purple, 4 blue, and 2 pale lavender-pink. Add one vertical white narration box near the upper-left center.

Panel 2 occupies the bottom half. Use the same garden path, now with the young man in close-up on the left foreground, turned toward the right. Show the arriving young woman on the right midground walking toward him. She has a featureless softly blurred face area, long wavy light brown hair, a white sleeveless floral dress with a sheer white cardigan, and a small beige shoulder bag. In this panel show exactly 6 prominent hydrangea flower heads around the path: 2 purple, 3 blue, and 1 pink. Add exactly 2 text elements in panel 2: one vertical white narration box at the upper right and one white oval speech bubble between the characters, plus tiny red surprise marks near the woman.

Text content: Use Japanese vertical manga lettering. The top panel narration box should say {argument name="top narration text" default="Why are hydrangeas so beautiful after the rain?"}. The bottom-right narration box should say {argument name="arrival narration text" default="--I heard footsteps and knew she was coming."}. The speech bubble should say {argument name="speech bubble text" default="Did you wait long? Sorry, I'm a little late!"}. Add a small handwritten breath sound beside the bubble reading {argument name="small sound effect" default="はぁ"}.

Subject details: The male character should look stylish and gentle, around early twenties, slim build, wearing the pale blue shirt with rolled sleeves. The female character should look romantic and soft, around early twenties, slim build, with a flowing white dress and delicate accessories. Keep both faces intentionally blank/blurred and do not draw facial features.

Visual style: Highly detailed anime-manga illustration, semi-realistic backgrounds, sparkling raindrops on leaves, warm morning sunlight filtering through trees, wet reflective path, soft depth of field, elegant shoujo romance atmosphere, clean panel borders, no watermark, no extra panels, no extra speech bubbles.
