Monochrome Marionette Manga Cover
A dramatic black-and-white manga album-cover prompt for an elegant male marionette performer entwined in puppet strings.
Prompt
Create a vertical monochrome manga-style album cover featuring {argument name="character name" default="Karakuri"}, a beautiful young male marionette performer standing in a dark theatrical void, surrounded by long white puppet strings and ribbon-like binding strips. The character is centered in a dramatic three-quarter pose from thighs upward: slim elegant body, wavy medium-length {argument name="hair color" default="silver-gray"} hair sweeping over one eye, soft confident smile, refined eyes looking upward toward his raised hand. His left arm reaches high above his head with delicate fingers bent like a puppeteer or puppet, while the sleeve and forearm are wrapped in many thin bands; his right arm hangs lower at the side, also tangled and bandaged by strings. Outfit: formal Victorian-inspired stage costume with a white pleated dress shirt, black waistcoat, black bow tie or ribbon tie, high-waisted dark trousers, subtle pocket square, glossy black fabric highlights, ornate but not cluttered. Surround him with exactly 18 prominent visible white ribbons/strings: 6 vertical taut strings descending from the top, 5 wide curling ribbon strips looping across the top and sides, 4 diagonal strips crossing the body area, and 3 lower sweeping ribbons near the bottom edge. Make the ribbons feel like he is willingly playing with and becoming entangled in them, not trapped in fear. Use high-contrast black-and-white ink, detailed shoujo manga linework, screentone shading, fine hatching, glossy highlights, elegant gothic poster composition, distressed speckled black background, and sharp white negative-space ribbons. Add ornate centered title typography over the lower torso: large Japanese title text {argument name="main title text" default="絡繰"} in white, with a thin vertical divider line and symmetrical filigree flourishes; below it add the smaller subtitle {argument name="subtitle text" default="— カラクリ —"}. Keep the design like a polished music jacket cover, no color except grayscale, no extra characters, no watermark, no English text unless supplied in the title fields.
