  • 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 playful, ironic, and gently philosophical. Dialogue appears in a simple, perfectly legible rounded comic font. Single-panel composition. Top caption (centered, inside the panel): “Mental Hygiene” Setting: A quiet outdoor space in front of a traditional Japanese torii (鳥居) gate. The torii stands tall in the background, painted vermilion, slightly weathered, framed by soft greenery and stone lanterns. The atmosphere is calm and symbolic, suggesting a threshold between confusion and clarity. Foreground characters: Two young women stand facing each other on a stone path before the torii. 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. She looks curious and mildly puzzled, head tilted, eyebrows raised. One hand is lifted in a questioning gesture, palm open, while the other rests on her hip. Speech bubble (left woman, curious): “Whatcha doing?” Right woman: She wears only a short denim overall (salopette) with no t-shirt underneath, rendered tastefully and symbolically, with the recognizable voluminous pink double-bun hairstyle. She has a voluminous breast stylized in chibi form. Her posture is calm and focused. In front of her, she is carefully washing a clearly symbolic, cartoon-style brain placed in a small wooden basin—soap bubbles, water, and a soft brush make the action clearly metaphorical rather than graphic. Her expression is serene and matter-of-fact, as if the answer should be obvious. Speech bubble (right woman, calm and obvious): “Mental hygiene.” Interaction & mood: The contrast between the sacred setting, the absurdly literal metaphor, and the calm confidence of the right woman creates gentle humor. The left woman’s puzzled look begins to soften into understanding. Bottom caption (centered, inside the panel): “(© Emiliano Girina)” Overall mood: Lighthearted, symbolic, and reflective—using visual metaphor and everyday dialogue to suggest that caring for one’s mind should be as normal as caring for one’s body.
