Japanese Romantic Comedy Manga Cover

Goal: Create a polished Japanese light-novel / shoujo romance manga cover illustration about a blunt but kind boy cooking with elegant girls around him, in a bright classroom-like kitchen.

Canvas: Vertical book-cover format, about 2:3 aspect ratio, full-bleed illustration with a thin white inner border. Use a high-detail anime / manga cover style, soft pastel lighting, glossy commercial finish, delicate linework, and floating pink flower petals.

Layout: Place the main male character in the center foreground at a stovetop, cropped from thighs upward, holding cooking chopsticks over a saucepan. Put the main silver-haired heroine standing to his right in the foreground, slightly taller in framing, confident and cool. Arrange three additional girls behind and to the left/top so the cover feels like an ensemble romantic comedy. Use large vertical Japanese title typography on both sides, with neon-like pink and blue gradients, white glow, and smaller black kana annotations. Add a small round badge in the upper left and a small author-name area in the upper right.

Subject details: Show exactly 5 characters: 1 central boy with messy black hair, white T-shirt, and black cooking apron, expression calm and slightly awkward; 1 foreground heroine with long pale silver hair, black blazer school uniform, white shirt, loose black tie, hand in pocket, composed expression; 1 cheerful peach-haired girl in the upper center wearing a white cardigan, navy bow, and plaid skirt, making a peace sign with small pink heart doodles near her hand; 1 soft brown-haired girl at the upper left wearing an off-shoulder cream knit sweater, shy and delicate; 1 pink-haired girl at lower left in a pale blouse, leaning in near the cooking area with a cute romantic mood. The faces may be softly obscured or left less detailed, but the hair, poses, and outfits should remain clear.

Environment: Bright sunlit room with tall window panes in the background, pale blue sky outside, warm daylight, airy atmosphere. Foreground contains a metal saucepan on a stove, cooking utensils, subtle kitchen counter details, and soft floral decorations near the lower right edge.

Text content: Include the following visible Japanese cover text as decorative typography: upper-left circular badge 「分冊版 1」; upper-right author text 「柚子故障 presents」; large blue vertical title on upper left 「ハイスペだけど」; large pink and blue title on left 「鈍感な瀬戸君と、」; large pink vertical title on right 「モテ様だけど恋に不器用な涼音ちゃん。」; small glowing center phrase 「恋のお程線 解ける気がしません！」; bottom ribbon text 「鈍感男子×不器用女子の じれキュン♡ラブコメ!!」. Keep the Japanese legible enough for a manga cover, but prioritize attractive typography over perfect typesetting.

Visual style: Romantic comedy manga cover, semi-realistic anime rendering, soft blush tones, luminous rim light, gentle bokeh, detailed school uniforms and hair strands, energetic cover composition, pink petals drifting diagonally, blue and pink glow effects around titles.

Customizable elements: The cover should be for [book title theme]; the central boy is [male lead description]; the main heroine is [heroine description]; the author name is [author name]; the volume badge says [volume badge].

Constraints: Use exactly 5 characters, exactly 1 cooking pot in the foreground, exactly 1 circular badge, and exactly 1 bottom promotional ribbon. Do not add extra characters, logos, barcodes, English replacement titles, or realistic photographic faces.
