Manga Black & White AI Image Prompt – Realistic Japanese Comic Style Portrait Conversion

Convert this uploaded photograph of any person into a stunning black-and-white manga illustration (Japanese comic style) — as if they were a character drawn in a professionally published manga chapter. Preserve the person's facial features, hairstyle, clothing, and body language from the original photo, but redraw them in authentic manga art style — not chibi, not realistic photo, but high-quality monochrome line art with screentones. The person must remain recognizable as themselves despite the manga adaptation.

Facial features adaptation: Preserve the person's exact eye shape (but rendered with manga-style expressive lines — larger irises, detailed catchlights, sharp or soft eyelashes), same eyebrow shape and thickness, same nose structure (simplified to 1-2 lines or small shadow), same mouth shape and expression (smile, frown, neutral, etc.), same skin tone translated into grayscale (light, medium, dark rendered with appropriate hatching and tone density), same freckles, scars, moles, and facial hair (rendered as fine lines or tone dots). Eye color is not applicable in grayscale, but eye shape and expression are preserved.

Hairstyle adaptation: Preserve the person's exact hairstyle — length, bangs, parting, ponytail, braids, curls, fade, undercut, bun, or shaved. Render with manga line art techniques — detailed strands near the face, screentone shading (dot patterns) for volume and depth. Hair color translated into gray tones (light gray, mid-gray, dark gray/black). Add subtle wind or natural flow based on original photo.

Clothing and accessories adaptation: Preserve the person's exact clothing from the original photo — all patterns (plaid, stripes, logos, prints) recreated using manga line art and screentones. Jackets, hoodies, dresses, jeans, suits, uniforms all rendered with hatching and cross-hatching for folds and shadows. Accessories like glasses, watches, hats, jewelry, bags, belts are drawn with precise ink detailing.

Pose and body language: Preserve the person's exact stance and posture from the original photo (standing, sitting, leaning, arms crossed, hands in pockets, holding objects). Maintain realistic human proportions (not chibi). Add subtle manga dynamic lines only if motion is implied.

Background and manga panel style: Convert the original environment into a simplified manga background using screentones, perspective lines, and ink shading. Default environment matches original photo (street, room, café, office, etc.). Add optional manga panel framing and subtle Japanese SFX text like ドキドキ or ザーザー unless disabled.

Art style reference: Clean shonen/seinen manga hybrid style similar to Eiichiro Oda, Takehiko Inoue, and Naoki Urasawa — crisp ink outlines, varied line weights, and detailed screentone shading.

Output specifications: 300 DPI, black-and-white grayscale only, PNG or high-quality JPG. Preserve original aspect ratio or manga panel ratio (approx 1:1.4). No color, no chibi, no watermarks. The final image must look like an authentic published manga panel featuring the real person.
