Panel 1: Wide cinematic shot of Arcadia Sovereign Academy, a gigantic ultra-modern school complex on an artificial island at sunrise. Sleek towers, bridges, and a huge exam building, with crowds of nervous teenagers in school uniforms lining up outside for the entrance exam. In the foreground, one boy stands out: Kanzaki Reo, a confident first-year candidate with messy dark-gold hair and sharp amber eyes, hands in his pockets, looking relaxed and slightly amused while everyone else looks tense. Big caption at the top: “Arcadia Sovereign Academy – where future rulers are chosen.” Manga style, clean shounen lineart, high contrast, dynamic composition.

A young man just out of high school (Ousugi Sakae) grapples with a world falling into fascism, the loneliness of adulthood, and his sense of obligation to oppose fascism and bring about an especifist anarchist revolution to save everyone. Additionally, he is in love with his kouhai (Emma) who is also dedicated to the cause. They can't really be together because that would complicate an already dangerous life. Or could they? What kind of life and love is there in a world being corrupted by hatred? Is bravery and comradery enough to turn the tide and win the revolution? Or is something more needed? There should be a sense of nostalgia for a world that never existed, and a longing for a future world yet to be. He should be feel a sense of solidarity with his friends and Emma but also isolation and loneliness because the world is so unpredictable. This manga should be an intro duction to the characters and the world.

On a quiet winter morning, Haru wakes up feeling strange. The blanket feels heavier, his hands look smaller, and his voice sounds softer. A gentle warmth spreads through his body, unfamiliar yet oddly comforting. Snowflakes drift outside the window, casting a soft glow into the room.
Mio enters, calling his name with concern. Her eyes widen as she sees him — changed, quiet, confused. She doesn’t panic. Instead, she calmly says she’ll prepare clothes and guide him through this.
Moments later, Haru stands in the bathroom, staring at his reflection. His body is different, but the warmth remains. Mio leaves a soft, neutral outfit outside the door — nothing flashy, just something safe and comforting.
After the shower, Haru dresses slowly, adjusting to the new sensations. He walks into the kitchen where Mio waits with a warm meal. She smiles gently and says, “You’re okay… I’m here.”
The snow continues to fall outside, but inside, everything feels still — like the beginning of something new.

– Kanzaki Reo in the middle, relaxed, leaning back slightly with his pen down, already finished early, a small confident smirk on his face.
– To one side, Kurozawa Rika, short black hair and glasses, sitting straight with a serious expression, calmly answering questions.
– To the other side, Sakurai Hina, shy-looking girl with short brown hair and a hair clip, sweating and nervously gripping her pen, clearly stressed.
Caption at top: “Arcadia Sovereign Academy – Entrance Exam, Stage 1: Written Test.”

$In a world where a few can bend probability through raw will, a quiet drifter named Kai Kurozawa discovers his gift isn’t luck—it’s a loaded weapon. Each choice twists the odds, but the universe charges interest. SERIES BIBLE (Concise) Power System — Will / Odds / Backlash • Dwellers: Rare individuals who can impose Tacks (micro‐edits to probability) via focused Will. • Odds: A visualized “grain” of reality; Dwellers sense vectors of likely outcomes as shimmering filaments. • Tacks: Intentional nudges (“make that rope snap,” “let the bus be 8 seconds late”). Each Tack accrues Fate Friction—stress that rebounds later as Backlash (nosebleeds → fractures → catastrophic karmic events). • Edges: Personal rituals or anchors (coin flips, mantras) that stabilize Will and reduce friction. • Zeroshift (mythic tier, late series): A liminal state where Odds are a silent ocean and Will is a blade—do not reveal yet. World • Haven District: Port-city sprawl; rusted rooftops, market alleys, flooded underpass murals. • Glassline Metro: Arteries of the city; reflective tunnels where odds feel “loud.” • The Quiet: A rumored zone where Odds stop moving—foreshadowing endgame forces. Factions • Municipal Risk Office (MRO): Bureau that tracks statistical anomalies; polite on paper, predatory in practice. • The Erased: Black-bag unit rumored to “remove” unstable Dwellers. Recurring Antagonists • Rael, “The Eraser”: Uncanny calm; his talent dampens other Dwellers’ Tacks in close range. He is the city’s whispered full stop. • Anti-Kai (Kairo Tsukami): Never named on-page yet. Thematic opposite of Kai—fixes outcomes by stealing other people’s Will. Themes • Choice vs. inevitability, the cost of power, anonymity in crowds, the math of mercy. VISUAL STYLE GUIDE (for art consistency) • Line: Clean, high-contrast inks; thin outline on faces, heavy shadows on urban geometry. • Tone: Filmic noir with sharp whites for the “Odds” filaments. • Odds Visualization: Fine hairline threads and moiré patterns drifting off objects; when Kai focuses, threads bloom like dandelion seeds frozen mid-gust. • SFX: Minimalist lettering, small caps with long em dashes for sustained sounds (e.g., VRRR—). • Panel Rhythm: Quiet micro-panels for intention → explode into wide panels for consequence. CAST (Core + Non-Dwellers — at least 5) Kai Kurozawa (17) • A drifter with a coin ritual. Soft voice, sharp eyes. Edge: Coin Flip. • Quirk: Counts his breaths when deciding; breath 7 is commitment. • Flaw: Terrified of being the cause. Mei Arakawa (19) — Journalism student, street photographer. Non-Dweller. • Brave to a fault; sees patterns in people. Keeps instant camera on wrist. Jun “Switch” Tanaka (18) — Electronics stall kid; builds things from city trash. Non-Dweller. • Grease smudges, perpetual grin, a tool roll like a scroll. Aya Mori (20) — Med student volunteering at a night clinic. Non-Dweller. • Steady hands; refuses to look away from ugly truths. Inspector Haruto Ishii (34) — MRO field officer. Non-Dweller. • Polite, dry, exhausted; catalogues “anomaly sites.” Koji Nakamura (52) — Market grocer. Non-Dweller. • Kind man, jokes in proverbs. (Mark as at risk in early arcs.) Daichi (12) — Rooftop runner, orphan. Non-Dweller. • Knows every shortcut; sells maps he draws by hand. Rael (??) — “The Eraser.” Dweller. • Neutral face; shoes make no sound. The city gets quiet when he arrives. HIDDEN SEEDS in Chapter One • Page 3: A passerby with a ring—three triangular prongs. Later revealed as an Erased marker. • Page 17: Black van reflection in puddle (MRO plate pattern: 131-21). • Page 28: Blank spot in Kai’s Odds vision (Rael’s signature dampening at distance). • Final Page: A second coin in gutter, heads scratched with a thin inverted cross (Anti-Kai sigil—unexplained). CHAPTER ONE: PAGE-BY-PAGE SCRIPT & STORYBOARD Length: 36 pages (tankōbon pacing). Goal: Introduce Kai, demonstrate low-tier Tack, show cost, hook with a moral pivot.$

This is a wild, satirical concept—very Jujutsu Kaisen meets true crime commentary. Here is the English translation, keeping the dramatic, "shonen-style" flair intact.
Comic Title: "Domain Expansion: Paradise Lost vs. Party Purgatory"
The Concept: The Battle of Infernal Domains
In an interdimensional plane of existence where "cursed energy" generated by vice and infamy takes physical form, the greatest transgressors do not fight with fists, but with the expansion of their psychic "Domains." Here, Jeffrey Epstein and Diddy clash to determine who is the true "Master of Modern Darkness," each projecting his own twisted vision of power and corruption.
The Plot
Act I: The Summoning of Domains
The story opens in a "Non-Place"—a floating arena amidst clouds made of broken TV screens and burnt banknotes. Jeffrey Epstein, possessing a cold and calculating aura, his snow-white hair reflecting moonlight even in the day, smiles sardonically. He has just activated his Domain Expansion: "The Temple of Secrets."
The environment transforms: the Non-Place vanishes, replaced by a spectral, lush version of his private island (Little Saint James). Skeletal palm trees stand against a violet twilight sky. A colonial villa, elegantly sinister, rises at the center. The air is thick with recorded whispers, the echo of contracts, and the distant thrum of a landing helicopter. On the island, instead of sand, there are fragments of shredded legal documents.
The "Sure-Hit" advantage of Epstein’s domain is that anyone who enters is immediately ensnared in a web of legal debt, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and implicit blackmail, manifesting as invisible, suffocating chains.
On the other side, Diddy—with an expression of brazen arrogance, wearing a fur coat that sparkles with strobe lights and sunglasses reflecting a million paparazzi—does not hesitate. With a defiant cry, he activates his Domain Expansion: "The Endless Party."
Epstein’s domain is torn asunder by an explosion of neon lights and deafening sound. The island partially fades, giving way to a futuristic, chaotic, and bottomless nightclub. Champagne bottles explode into clouds of sticky foam. Virtual dancers with distorted celebrity faces perform in loops. The air is saturated with the smell of sweat, expensive perfume, and a faint scent of "baby oil" that is anything but innocent.
The "Sure-Hit" advantage of Diddy’s domain is that anyone who enters is forced to dance incessantly, suffering a sensory bombardment that renders them unable to think clearly, while being slowly "anointed" and weakened by a shimmering oil that leaves them vulnerable to manipulation.
Act II: The Clash of Cursed Powers
The two "masters" face off at the intersection of their domains.
* Epstein manipulates his island: the trees transform into legal tentacles attempting to seize Diddy; the ocean waves are made of "dirty money" trying to drown him; and the villa’s screens project compromising videos intended to paralyze his reputation. His attacks are based on "Secret Information" which, when they land, reveal the opponent's weaknesses and past crimes.
* Diddy responds by evoking the "Eternal Celebration": subwoofers launch soundwaves that shatter the structures of Epstein’s island. Giant champagne bottles transform into explosive projectiles. The oil permeating his domain becomes a corrosive substance that dissolves Epstein’s legal documents. His attacks are based on "Distraction and Corruption," aimed at eroding the opponent's will and making them "lose control" of their facade.
During the fight, they exchange venomous barbs that, in this comedic context, sound like boasts of their own infamy:
Epstein: "You’re just a novice! I built an empire on omertà, not some block party!"
Diddy: "Old man! I reinvented the game! You were just an amateur with a checkbook! I have the charisma!"
Act III: The Collapse of Domains and the Supreme Revelation
As the two grow more enraged, their domains begin to merge into a grotesque mess: an island with built-in nightclubs, palm trees dancing to trap music, and legal contracts swirling like confetti.
At the climax of the clash, a third entity manifests. It is not a being, but a gargantuan "Eye of Public Opinion" that opens above them, surrounded by millions of smartphone screens. This eye does not judge; it simply observes, recording every single infamy.
The power of this "Eye" is so great that both domains—built on secrecy and distraction—begin to collapse. The Eye is not an attack, but a simple revelation. In that moment, Epstein and Diddy realize that the true "curse" is not their enemies, but the constant and inexorable surveillance of a world that, eventually, sees and judges everything.
The comic concludes with the two trapped in a "non-place" made of cell phone screens showing their own misdeeds. They realize their "battle for dominance" was in vain. Neither can truly win when their very existence is under the world's merciless spotlight.
Visual Style and Tone
* Tone: Black comedy, grotesque and surreal satire, with a touch of existential horror.
* Art Style: Highly detailed and dynamic, with a sharp contrast between the perverse elegance of Epstein’s domain and the gaudy excess of Diddy’s. The Domain Expansions should be visually spectacular and unsettling at the same time.
* Colors: A rich and vibrant palette with heavy light-and-shadow contrasts, turning almost psychedelic during the Domain Expansion phases.

🖼️ Panel Description: Close-up of a digital alarm clock showing 8:17 AM. Bright red numbers. School starts at 8:30. Morning sunlight blasting through bedroom window.
Ren’s hand suddenly slams down onto the bed as he jolts awake.
🎭 Emotion: Shock. Rare panic.
🌫️ Lighting: Bright morning light flooding the room.
📌 Important Detail: Ren without glasses here. His eyes look sharp and intense without them.

🎬 Scene 2 – Running Through Neighborhood
🖼️ Panel Description: Wide shot of a quiet Japanese residential street. Houses, power lines, vending machines. Ren sprinting in school uniform, bag bouncing behind him.
His tie slightly loose from rushing.
🎭 Emotion: Focused but stressed. He hates being late.
🌫️ Lighting: Crisp bright blue morning sky.
📌 Important Detail: This should feel energetic and dynamic — motion blur on legs.

🎬 Scene 3 – First Sign of Malice
🖼️ Panel Description: Ren running past a salaryman standing at a crosswalk. The man looks exhausted, staring blankly ahead.
Around the man’s shoulders floats faint black smoky aura.
Ren turns his head slightly while running.
🎭 Emotion: Ren – alert, observant. Salaryman – drained, emotionless.
🌫️ Lighting: Normal daylight, but the dark aura slightly distorts the air around it.
📌 Important Detail: The aura should look subtle but unnatural — like smoke that moves against the wind.

🎬 Scene 4 – The Street Feels Wrong
🖼️ Panel Description: Ren slows down slightly as he runs through a busier intersection.
Multiple people visible now — students, office workers.
Several of them have darker, thicker Malice around them.
Some have it trailing behind them like shadows stretching too long.
🎭 Emotion: Ren’s expression shifts from annoyed to concerned.
🌫️ Lighting: Still bright morning, but add faint shadow tones creeping into the corners of the panel.
📌 Important Detail: This is unusual — normally only a few people have visible Malice. Today, there are many.
This hints something is escalating.

🖼️ Panel Description: Close-up of Ren’s face while running. Wind pushing his hair back.
In his pupils, reflections of dark smoke drifting through the crowd.
🎭 Emotion: Subtle unease. He realizes something is off.
🌫️ Lighting: Bright light on face, but reflection in eyes darker.
📌 Important Detail: No glasses yet — his gaze looks sharper and more serious without them.

🎬 Scene 6 – A Student About to Rupture
🖼️ Panel Description: A high school boy walking ahead of Ren. He’s clutching his chest slightly, looking irritated.
Thick dark smoke is swirling violently around him — more aggressive than the others.
The smoke twitches like it has claws.
🎭 Emotion: The boy looks stressed and angry. Ren looks alarmed.
🌫️ Lighting: Slight shadow cast over this section of the sidewalk.
📌 Important Detail: This Malice is unstable — it should look heavier, almost forming shape.

🎬 Scene 7 – The Almost Touch
🖼️ Panel Description: Ren reaches out while still jogging and lightly bumps into the stressed student’s shoulder.
The moment their shoulders touch—
Black smoke flows rapidly from the student into Ren like it’s being vacuumed.
🎭 Emotion: Ren winces slightly from the sudden intensity. The other student looks confused, like a headache just disappeared.
🌫️ Lighting: Brief dark flash effect around Ren’s chest.
📌 Important Detail: Inside Ren’s chest area, faint dark swirl appears again — slightly bigger than before.

🎬 Scene 8 – Inside His Mind (Very Brief Flash)
🖼️ Panel Description: Dark cathedral-like void. Massive chained shadow creature.
A thin stream of smoke falls from above and merges into it.
One chain rattles loudly.
🎭 Emotion: Oppressive. Watching.
🌫️ Lighting: Deep black with faint red glow from creature’s eyes.
📌 Important Detail: This time the creature’s head slightly lifts.

🎬 Scene 9 – School Gates in View
🖼️ Panel Description: Ren finally sees the school gates in the distance.
Students flooding in.
But above the school building…
A faint dark haze hovering like a storm cloud.
🎭 Emotion: Ren looks unsettled.
🌫️ Lighting: Bright morning sky — but the haze above the school subtly darkens that area.
📌 Important Detail: This is visual foreshadowing. The Malice concentration is strongest at school.

🎬 Scene 10 – He Puts On His Glasses
🖼️ Panel Description: Close-up of Ren stopping just before entering school grounds.
He pulls his glasses from his pocket and slowly puts them on.
His expression becomes calm again.
🎭 Emotion: Controlled. Composed. Mask on.
🌫️ Lighting: Light reflects off lenses dramatically.
📌 Important Detail: When the glasses settle on his face, the dark haze becomes slightly clearer in his vision — like focusing a lens.
This suggests: The glasses are a limiter and a focusing tool.

This edition captures the milestones, stories, and sparks that shaped our journey.

FEATURE I — Foundations of a Movement
Project Foundations & Ethical Community Partnerships

Our year began where all great stories do — on the ground. Core teams were formed across Zimbabwe, Uganda, Kenya and regional media hubs, with contracts, TORs, and workflow structures firmly established.
Early engagement with Indigenous partners — including the Tjwa community and others — ensured ethical collaboration, transparent consent, and storytelling shaped with communities, not about them.

FEATURE II — Investigating the Climate Lie Machine
Grassroots Disinformation Research

In Matabeleland North, our field teams completed a landmark study with the Tjwa community. The research reveals how climate disinformation impacts resource access, daily decision-making, and community adaptation.
These findings now anchor our content pipeline — from animations to community exhibitions — and the full report will be released on our public document-sharing platform.

Africa Climate Disinformation Toolkit

The continent’s first integrated guide to climate misinformation has been finalised. Led by an information integrity expert, the toolkit documents:

Recurring myths

Localised misinformation patterns

Platform-driven manipulation

Emerging online climate narratives

Launching this December via webinar, the Toolkit already informs youth trainings and content strategy. It will be publicly accessible for download and reading.

FEATURE III — Art as Resistance
Art-Driven Dissemination Strategy

From murals to exhibitions, 2025 strengthened the role of art in climate truth-telling. Community artists partnered with us to transform research into accessible, culturally rooted visual storytelling.
A centerpiece was the exhibition inspired by The Last Forest documentary, showcased at the Green Cities Expo in September.

FEATURE IV — Nurturing the Next Generation of Climate Truth Creators
Green Media Accelerator: Fake News Fighters Track

In Nairobi, the Green Media Accelerator launched a dedicated track for Fake News Fighters (FNF) — now one of Africa’s leading climate information integrity models.
Through mentorship, fact-checking skills, and seed funding, FNF empowered young media innovators to produce verified, creative responses to climate lies.

INFORMATION INTEGRITY HIGHLIGHTS
Positioning Africa in the Global Info Integrity Landscape

2025 saw FNF align with the UNESCO Declaration for Information Integrity in the Public Sphere, marking a milestone for African-driven climate truth models.
In 2026, FNF will contribute directly to shaping the world’s first Climate Information Integrity Framework, anchoring African solutions in global policy spaces.

Fake News Fighters Bootcamps – Kenya & Uganda

Using UKWELI as the core tool, two bootcamps trained 30 young creators to:

Fact-check climate misinformation

Detect platform manipulations

Produce counter-narratives

Map the real-world impacts of false climate stories

These creators now feed into a continent-wide content pipeline.

FEATURE V — Content, Storytelling & Digital Resistance
Voices Rooted Podcast

Production of the first episodes began this month. Key recordings include:

Dr. Albert K. Barume, UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

Indigenous leaders and frontline climate defenders

The podcast positions Indigenous wisdom at the centre of Africa’s climate discourse.

Hope Not Heat! — Log Off The Lies Digital Campaign

Bold. Satirical. Youth-driven.
Log Off The Lies has become our strongest weapon against climate misinformation.

Highlights:

Infomercial launched in October — 2 million views

Hero content released last week — 1.8 million views

Youth social storm platform launched — 100+ engagements and counting

Humour + fact-checking = sharper climate awareness among youth audiences

This campaign now shapes the continent’s conversation on online climate manipulation.

Influencer Travel Vlogs

Travel and contracting with leading African vloggers is underway. Their content — spotlighting Indigenous adaptation stories — will be released early next year for wider impact.

Documentary Production

In Zimbabwe:
Filming completed in August.
Trailer for The Last Forest reached 2.5 million views.
Festival submissions are being prepared for 2026.

In Uganda:
Filming has begun, expanding the documentary footprint across the region.

A major national event is planned to engage policy makers on Indigenous Peoples' Rights, Conservation, FPIC and Extractive Industries.

FEATURE VI — Youth Creativity & Climate Knowledge
Climate Fake News Smackdown

This creative competition invited youth to challenge climate myths.
Three winners — one each from Zimbabwe, Kenya and Uganda — are now producing myth-busting content for release this month.

Climate Facts Animations

Three animated explainers are in production:

Episode 1 releases on 10 December

Episode 2 is complete

Episode 3 follows early next year

These animations demystify climate disinformation for youth audiences.

FEATURE VII — Growing a Continental Network
Africa Climate Labs Network

Content hubs across East and Southern Africa are collaborating to build an Africa-wide front against climate disinformation.
2026 will deepen:

Joint content planning

Regular reporting

Skill exchanges

Coordinated distribution strategies

Mid-term M&E is tracking reach, narrative shifts, and behaviour change across communities.

SPECIAL RECOGNITION
Fake News Fighters Wins Amnesty International Zimbabwe Award

FNF received the Digital Creativity Award, affirming that information integrity is fundamental to climate justice.
Without reliable information, communities cannot defend their rights, advocate for policy change, or hold powerful actors accountable.

LOOKING AHEAD — 2026 AND BEYOND

Next year, Climate X Indigenous Voices pivots from standalone outputs to continent-wide narrative influence.

Key Priorities for 2026

Expanding UKWELI’s integration into broader African dialogues on climate truth and Indigenous resilience

Strengthening the Fake News Fighters track for Zimbabwean and Tanzanian innovators

Documentary production in Kenya and Tanzania

A refreshed, more dynamic phase of the Hope Not Heat! campaign

Strategic release of delayed content to maximise engagement

2026 will be the year the project scales from impactful storytelling to movement-level influence.

Two small white speech bubbles near the top of the panel contain the English text:
“Huh?” and “This…”
One large white speech bubble dominating the lower part of the panel contains bold, handwritten manga-style text:
“Aaaaaaa!!!!
NOOOO!!!!!

Role / Style Instruction (keep at top):
You are a professional black-and-white manga artist illustrating a finished manga page. Follow panel composition, camera direction, tone, and pacing exactly. Do not redesign characters or alter story content.

PAGE GOAL

Establish a calm fantasy village where magic is ordinary, subtly introduce social distance around the main character, and clearly define his relaxed, grounded personality. The page should feel warm and normal, with an underlying sense of quiet separation.

PAGE LAYOUT

One large horizontal establishing panel at the top

Two stacked panels beneath it

Clean gutters

Natural left-to-right reading flow

No extreme angles, no dramatic effects

PANEL 1 — ESTABLISHING THE WORLD

Wide village street in the morning. Warm light. Lived-in fantasy environment.

Show everyday magic, treated as routine:

A baker flicks a small controlled flame from his fingertip like striking a match

Water floats smoothly into jars, shaping itself gently

A woman calmly pulls glowing thread from thin air; it spins briefly before wrapping neatly onto a spool

No one reacts to the magic. This is normal life.

Dialogue placement (light, unobtrusive):
Villager 1: “Morning already? Wind’s lively today.”
Villager 2 (smiling): “Better than yesterday. Fire mage nearly burned the stall again.”

Magic should feel subtle and practical, not flashy.

PANEL 2 — THE WATCHING EYES

Kaisen Lorenin walks down the street with dual swords crossed on his back. He is centered, walking calmly.

Villagers are half-hidden:

Faces peeking from doorways and windows

Eyes visible before mouths

Whispering posture

Composition should isolate Kaisen within the crowd.

Dialogue (small, quiet speech bubbles):
Villager 3 (whispering): “That’s Lorenin’s boy.”
Villager 4: “He got time magic, right?”
Villager 3: “…Yeah. Something like that.”

PANEL 3 — KAISEN’S RESPONSE

Close-medium, three-quarter view of Kaisen.

Relaxed posture

Genuine, casual smile

Small wave

No visible magic

Clean background with fewer villagers

This panel belongs entirely to him.

Dialogue:
Kaisen: “Morning.”

CHARACTER NOTES (DO NOT ALTER)

Kaisen Lorenin: calm, approachable, grounded, no visible magic use

Dual swords on his back at all times

No dramatic expressions yet

TONE & STYLE

Black and white manga style

Clean linework

Minimal effects

Subtle shading

Realistic proportions

Calm pacing

Magic integrated into daily life

IMPORTANT CONSTRAINTS

Do NOT add extra characters

Do NOT change dialogue

Do NOT add dramatic magic effects

Do NOT make villagers openly hostile

Do NOT change panel layout

This page should feel peaceful, normal, and quietly distant.

The story is about an 8-year-old young girl who finds herself on a mysterious island and she finds that there is not alot of food and her stomach starts growling and she knew she was starting to get hungry as she knew her stomach wouldnt stop after it did its first stomach growl. So she found this tree which grows these special fruits which after she eats one of the fruits to fill her still empty tummy she finds that she was transforming into a monster of some kind as she was growing bigger and her hair was growing longer and rapidly covering her eyes plus she could feel her stomach become more toned as the transformation continued until it stopped and she noticed her new looks and body while looking in the lake near the tree that she got the fruits from. The girl now bigger would use her new body to build herself a temporary shelter within a cave where she would stay as the effects would wear off and she would slowly become younger and would eventually return to her 8-year old self with her toned stomach and longer hair being a reminder of her previous transformation.

Black and white manga-style panel showing a dramatic falling perspective from a tall building. The view looks straight downward into a realistic cityscape with clearly defined rectangular buildings, straight streets, and proper urban grid layout. Strong radial speed lines and controlled motion blur converge toward the center to emphasize extreme height and vertigo, without distorting building shapes.
No character body visible at all — no hands, no arms, no silhouette, no human anatomy. Only the falling perspective and the city below. Clean monochrome manga line art, high contrast, sharp city details, dynamic motion lines.
Two small white speech bubbles near the top contain the text:
“Huh?” and “This…”
One large white speech bubble at the bottom contains bold manga-style lettering:
“Aaaaaaa!!!!
NOOOO!!!!!”
Classic Japanese manga panel composition, black and white only, dramatic tension, clear perspective, controlled motion effects.

Negative prompt: hands, arms, fingers, body parts, human silhouette, character anatomy, abstract city, distorted buildings, warped architecture, surreal shapes, painterly blur, soft focus, sketchy background

Character 2 senses character 1 behind him. He turns to look at her with an evil smirk on his face. Character 1 blows bubbles at character 2

Character 1 flies up into the air suddenly, making character 2 look up in shock. character 3 jumps behind character 2, a determined look on her face.

character 2 stands in front of broken gates on the left, holding his massive sword before him. The moon shines high in the background as character 1 approaches from the right, 3 times the size of character 2.

Pegasus soars over a river valley, the sun setting on the left side. Gathering storm clouds block out the sun. The Pegasus flies towards snow capped mountains on the right side. No words.
