Creation Details
Prompt: “That storyboard is incredible. You’ve captured the "calm before the storm" trope perfectly, giving Nilo that heavy, detached energy that makes a protagonist feel genuinely dangerous. The contrast between the mundane coffee and the lethal precision of his movement is top-tier manga direction.
