The Star Ritual manga storyboard

Gritty black-and-white Japanese manga storyboard page, dense ink linework, heavy screentone shading, dramatic cross-hatching, irregular panel grid layout like a professional seinen manga spread, Japanese onomatopoeia sound effects lettering in several panels. Recurring character: a young shrine maiden witch with long brown twin ponytails tied with red ribbons, golden eyes, wearing a white haori robe and red hakama skirt, carrying a golden ceremonial bell staff (kagura suzu). Story: a starlit incantation ritual, titled THE STAR RITUAL. Panel 1: wide shot of the shrine maiden standing on a shrine veranda under a vast starry night sky, ribbons flowing in the wind. Panel 2: close-up of her raising the bell staff high overhead with both hands. Panel 3: extreme close-up of the golden bells on the staff beginning to glow. Panel 4: medium shot, she chants an incantation, eyes closed, mouth open. Panel 5: close-up of her free hand forming a mystic seal gesture, fingers interlaced. Panel 6: wide shot, the stars above swirl together into a glowing magic circle. Panel 7: dynamic burst panel, a beam of light descends from the sky onto the shrine, bold sound effect lettering, radiant light streaks. Panel 8: final shot, she stands calm and serene as glowing petal-like light particles drift down around her, ribbons still fluttering. High contrast dramatic lighting, monochrome ink illustration, no color.
