The recipe

Prompt

[Model: GPT-5.4 Image] Full-color manga page, portrait 2:3, 5 panels in a fragmented collage layout, read left to right, top to bottom. REFERENCES ATTACHED: Image 1 = KOA character sheet. Match KOA's face, hairstyle, body proportions and skin tone exactly to Image 1. Ignore the sheet's background, layout and labels. STYLE: adult cinematic semi-realistic manga style, sharp ink linework, hard shadows, realistic anatomy, mixed screen-glow colors. No chibi. NAME RULE: The tournament in this story is called "THE WORLD CROWN". Never write "World Cup", "FIFA" or any real tournament, league, broadcaster or platform name anywhere on the page. NO PANEL NUMBERS: do not draw any numbers, letters or labels in the panel corners. CHARACTER: KOA (white tank top). Panel 1: A slick international TV news studio, a smirking anchor at the desk. The only on-screen text is a lower-third caption bar reading exactly "KAIMORA VOWS TO WIN THE WORLD CROWN" and a small red "LIVE" tag. Balloon: "A nation with zero football history?" Panel 2: Close-up of a smartphone screen showing a generic, unbranded social media post (plain grey avatar, no app name or logo) with three laughing emojis. Post text: "lol they don't even have a stadium" Panel 3: Three small panels of foreign pundits laughing on talk shows, plain studio backgrounds with no text or logos. Panel 4: Back in the village hall, villagers looking down in shame. Panel 5: Close-up of Koa gripping his fist so hard his knuckles turn pale. Balloon: "...They're laughing at us." White speech balloons with black English text. Spell all text exactly. No other text anywhere on the page.
