Prompt:
A modern, colorful manga-style comic panel with clean, confident linework, expressive chibi-influenced proportions, and flat, vibrant colors with soft cel shading. The tone is witty, satirical, and calmly ironic, poking fun at pseudo-wellness claims through everyday dialogue. Dialogue appears in a simple, perfectly legible rounded comic font.
Single-panel composition.

“Pseudo-Guru Nonsense”
Setting:
A lively yatai (屋台) street food stall at night. Warm paper lanterns bathe the scene in a golden glow. Steam curls up from sizzling grills and simmering pots behind the counter; skewers, bowls, and handwritten menu tags add texture. The background feels busy but soft—public, casual, and real.
Foreground characters:
Two young women sit side by side on small stools at the yatai counter, angled slightly toward each other. Both are relaxed and comfortable, mid-conversation.
Left woman:
She wears a light blouse and a short pleated skirt in bright, youthful colors. Her very short, sharply layered asymmetrical pixie haircut is vivid violet.
Her expression is earnest and “helpfully inspired”: eyebrows lifted, head slightly tilted, one hand raised with a gentle, suggesting gesture, palm up, as if sharing a hot tip.
Speech bubble (left woman, suggestive and upbeat):
“What if we tried intermittent sexual fasting? I heard it’s healthy and detoxes the ovaries!”
Right woman:
She wears only a short denim overall (salopette) with no t-shirt underneath, rendered tastefully and symbolically, with a voluminous pink double-bun hairstyle. She has a voluminous breast stylized in chibi form. Her posture is relaxed but reactive.
Her expression is pure, startled disbelief—eyes wide, cheeks puffed as she involuntarily spits out her drink from surprise. One hand jerks up defensively while the other still clutches the cup.
Speech bubble (right woman, shocked and blunt):
“Are you out of your mind? Fast if you want, but don’t drag other people into it!”
Interaction & mood:
A few droplets of the spilled drink arc through the air for comedic timing. The left woman freezes mid-gesture, blinking, while the right woman recovers with an incredulous glare. The humor lands through contrast: serene guru-speak versus sudden reality check.

Overall mood:
Playful, incisive, and socially observant—using humor and surprise to puncture wellness pseudoscience without aggression, turning a casual street-food chat into a sharp moment of clarity.

Two women are sitting at a food stall with pseudo-guru nonsense written above, with lanterns hanging, grills, and food. The woman on the left with short purple hair and pink eyes, wearing a white shirt and a yellow and pink pleated skirt, is sitting on a stool and talking, with a speech bubble pointing to her saying, "What if we tried intermittent sexual fasting? I heard it's healthy and detoxes the ovaries!" The woman on the right has pink hair tied up in two buns, pink eyes, and freckles, wearing a blue denim sleeveless top and shorts. She is holding a drink and spitting it out in shock at the woman's words, with another speech bubble pointing to her saying, "Are you out of your mind? Fast if you want, but don't drag other people into it!"
