Manga Story
Alarm çalmadan birkaç saniye önce uyandı. Alışkanlık. Derinlikçiler geç kalmayı göze alamazdı. Tavanın köşesindeki nem lekesine baktı bir süre. Isıtma sistemi gece yine kısılmıştı. Krizden sonra çoğu şey “optimize” edilmişti. Elektrik, su, nefes. Telefon ekranında haber başlığı akıyordu: “Ekonomik toparlanma dördüncü çeyrekte hızlandı.” “Derinlik Enerjisi üretimi %3 arttı.” Rakamlar her zaman yukarı gidiyordu. İnsanlar değil. Ryouhei Morita yataktan kalktı. Tek odalı devlet lojmanında, duvarın yanında katlanır masası, metal dolabı ve askıdaki gri üniforması vardı. Üniformanın sol omzunda mavi bir arma: Derinlik Hizmeti — Ulusal Enerji Güvencesi Kahvesini içti. Tadı zayıftı. Kahve çekirdekleri hâlâ ithal lüks sayılıyordu. Pencereden dışarı baktığında şehri görüyordu. Tokyo krizden sonra sessizleşmişti ama karanlık değildi. Sokak lambaları hâlâ yanıyordu. Metro hattı çalışıyordu. Vitrinler ışıklıydı. Işık. Işık için iniyorlardı.
![Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was so troubled that his sleep left him. 2 Then the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. 3 And the king said to them, “I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to [a]know the dream.”](https://media.mangaai.com/dfd7b8ae-7cea-4051-b1fd-51c27b7f9095.png)












![[Manga Page 1 Prompt: The 3rd Rhythm - Flashback Intro]
Create a high-quality full-color manga page, Page 1. The page should be divided into 3 distinct panels with a clear narrative flow.
Overall Tone & Style: Gritty Seinen Manga, Urban Grunge aesthetic. Detailed line art, vibrant but slightly desaturated colors, sharp focus on character expressions and internal monologue.
Panel 1 (Top - Medium Shot):
Content: The protagonist (Ryo - 182cm, muscular build, stoic face) is sitting on his stock Honda Wave 110i motorcycle with a Line Man delivery bag, stopped at a city red light. He's wearing his black baggy oversized sweater, light blue baggy jeans, and a retro half-shell helmet (no visor), showing his messy hair and silver ear piercings.
Action/Expression: He looks straight ahead, calm and expressionless. The background shows blurred city traffic.
Dialogue/Text: None from the protagonist.
Panel 2 (Middle - Wide Shot, slightly above the protagonist's eye level):
Content: Shifts focus slightly to the sidewalk beside the protagonist's motorcycle. A small, innocent boy excitedly points at a passing military truck (or a prominent military poster), looking up at his mother with bright, hopeful eyes.
Dialogue/Text (Speech Bubble from boy): "Mom! I want to be a soldier when I grow up!"
Mood: Hopeful, innocent, a stark contrast to the protagonist's inner world.
Panel 3 (Bottom - Composite Panel, showing a split flashback):
Content: This panel depicts a dual flashback, a direct visual response to the boy's dream. The left side of the panel shows a dark, gritty flashback of the protagonist (younger, more intense) fiercely punching a heavy sandbag in a dimly lit boxing gym. Sweat is flying. The right side shows him wildly playing drums on a dimly lit, smoky stage, hair flailing, with extreme intensity, a drumstick possibly breaking.
Mood: Intense, raw, powerful, and slightly melancholic or regretful. The colors in this flashback should be darker, more muted, with strong contrast, emphasizing the lost passion or intensity compared to his current quiet life.
Dialogue/Text (Thought Bubble from protagonist): "A dream, huh..." (The text should appear slightly faded, emphasizing it's an internal thought).](https://media.mangaai.com/1f122118-6566-429c-b8cb-917044e6a62f.png)
