Four-Panel Anime Book Recommendations

Goal: Create a polished 2×2 anime-style recommendation collage set inside a cozy bookstore or library, showing four different young women holding books in front of wooden bookshelves. The image should feel like a Japanese social-media book recommendation post, warm, gentle, realistic in small details, and not every shelf should be completely packed with books; leave some natural gaps and varied book heights.

Canvas: Vertical 4:5 composition, approximately 768×1024. Divide the canvas into exactly 4 equal panels with thin white gutters: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right.

Visual style: Soft detailed Japanese anime illustration, warm indoor lighting, muted pastel clothing, realistic wooden shelves, printed book spines with Japanese-style vertical titles, cozy quiet atmosphere, delicate linework, subtle shading, high-quality magazine-like finish. Faces should be intentionally obscured by soft square blur blocks, while hair, clothes, hands, books, and background remain detailed.

Layout and subjects: Include exactly 4 girls and exactly 4 featured recommendation books.
1. Top-left panel: A gentle girl with short black hair in low side buns, wearing a lavender cardigan over a pale floral dress, holding a travel/scenery book with a Mount Fuji and lake cover. Background includes a window with curtains on the far left and bookshelves behind her. Caption card text: “紫苑リンのおすすめ” / “『美しい日本の風景』” / “美しい景色を見ると、心が癒されます。”
2. Top-right panel: A girl with very long straight black hair and pink ribbon bows, wearing a pink cardigan, holding a fashion/cute-style book with a full-body girl illustration on the cover. Caption card text: “紫苑レイのおすすめ” / “『大人かわいいの作り方』” / “おしゃれは、自分をもっと好きになる魔法。”
3. Bottom-left panel: A short-haired girl with messy black bob hair, wearing a white hoodie, holding a dark science-fiction or adventure novel with a starry space-like cover. She points toward the book with one finger. Caption card text: “深絆アキラのおすすめ” / “『銀河英雄伝説 1』” / “壮大な物語に、いつもワクワクします！”
4. Bottom-right panel: A calm girl with long black hair loosely tied back, wearing a gray oversized sweater, resting her cheek on one hand while holding a beige lifestyle book. Add a small teacup on the table near the lower left of this panel. Caption card text: “黒波凪紗のおすすめ” / “『暮らしを整える』” / “シンプルな暮らしが、いちばん心地いい。”

Caption cards: Each panel has one rounded white caption card near the bottom, with a thin colored border matching the character mood: lavender for top-left, soft red/pink for top-right or bottom-left where appropriate, gray for bottom-right. Use centered Japanese text, bold title line, clean readable typography.

Bookshelf details: Fill the shelves with many books, but keep them natural and not uniformly packed. Include visible book spines with varied neutral, pastel, and muted colors; some spines may contain Japanese vertical text or simple series numbers. Avoid chaotic clutter.

Customizable details: The four featured book titles may be changed to [featured book titles]; the four recommender names may be changed to [recommender names]; the overall setting may be changed to [setting]; the illustration style may be changed to [illustration style]; the face treatment may be changed to [face treatment].

Constraints: Use exactly 4 panels, exactly 4 characters, exactly 4 featured books, and exactly 4 bottom caption cards. Keep the text legible, preserve the Japanese caption wording, avoid extra logos or watermarks, and maintain a calm wholesome bookstore atmosphere.
