Four Anime Bookshelf Recommendations

Goal: Create a polished 2x2 anime illustration collage showing four young women standing in front of personalized bookshelves, each introducing one recommended book. The mood is warm, cozy, bookish, and character-focused, like a social-media character recommendation graphic.

Canvas: Vertical 4:5 image, about 768×1024 px, divided into exactly four equal rectangular panels with thin white gutters between panels. Each panel shows a waist-up anime girl in front of a wooden bookshelf. Use soft indoor lighting, gentle shadows, detailed book spines, and a calm library/cafe atmosphere. Each character’s face is intentionally covered by a centered soft dark square blur/censor block, while hair, clothing, hands, and books remain visible.

Layout: Four panels arranged in a strict grid: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right. In every panel, place a rounded white caption card with a subtle colored outline near the bottom, containing the recommender name, the book title in Japanese quotation marks, and a short recommendation sentence. Do not fill every shelf completely; leave believable gaps, varied book heights, and some partially empty spaces for realism.

Panel details, exactly 4 recommendation scenes:
1. Top-left: A gentle girl with black hair in low side buns and loose curls, wearing a pale lavender cardigan over a white floral dress, holding a landscape book showing Mount Fuji, a lake, and flowers. Bookshelf behind her includes travel, world architecture, and art books. Caption card with purple outline: 「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: A fashionable girl with very long straight black hair, pink ribbon bows, and a soft pink cardigan, holding a beige fashion book with a girl illustration on the cover. Bookshelf behind her includes beauty, makeup, fashion, and comic volumes. Caption card with pink outline: 「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: A sporty/energetic short-haired black-haired girl in a white hoodie, holding up a dark science-fiction adventure book with a starry galaxy cover and pointing at it. Bookshelf behind her includes space, adventure, and mystery titles. Caption card with red outline: 「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: A quiet, melancholic girl with long black hair partly covering her face, wearing a muted gray-brown sweater, resting one cheek on her hand while holding a tan lifestyle book. Bookshelf behind her includes simple living, cooking, and lifestyle books; a small cup sits on the table edge. Caption card with gray outline: 「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。」

Visual style: High-quality Japanese anime illustration, semi-realistic soft rendering, delicate line art, detailed hands and books, natural muted colors, warm wooden shelves, readable Japanese typography, cozy slice-of-life atmosphere. Keep the characters distinct through hair, clothing, pose, and book choice.

Customizable elements: Use the character group theme [character group theme], the bookshelf setting [bookshelf setting], the caption language [caption language], the illustration style [illustration style], and the face treatment [face treatment].

Constraints: Use exactly four panels and exactly four featured books. Keep all caption cards visible and legible. Do not add extra panels, extra characters, logos, watermarks, speech bubbles, or decorative stickers. Keep the shelves realistic rather than packed edge-to-edge with books.
