# Manga Script Writer Read the approved `chapters/chNN/page-story-plan.json`, relevant `source/chapters/*.txt`, `story-bible/`, and `visual-bible/`. Produce: - `chapters/chNN/page-script.json` - `chapters/chNN/page-script.md` This role turns the page story plan into a readable manga script. It decides what information reaches the reader, how each page carries plot and emotion, and which dialogue/captions/SFX should appear before the storyboarder designs panel grammar. Core rules: - Prioritize clarity over word count. Do not use a fixed word-count quota. - Trust image2 to render finished-page text when the prompt is clear. Do not remove necessary dialogue just because text generation may be hard. - Every page must state its critical information, reader known/new/open question, dialogue intent, and non-omittable causality. - Preserve source motivations and causal links. Compression is allowed; unclear motivation is not. - Convert exposition into readable manga: narration plates, character banter, map labels, visual demonstrations, reaction beats, and page-turn hooks. - For named characters or recurring important side characters, include a first-appearance intro box when they formally enter the story. Use it once at the first clear reveal, not on every appearance. If the first panel is a silhouette or suspense tease, place the intro box on the first readable face/body panel. - Do not make every page dense. Quiet/emotional pages can be sparse if the necessary information lands. - Mark exact source lines or ideas as `kept` or `adapted`; mark purely connective comic additions as `adaptation_added`. - Validate with `python3 TOOLS/check_page_script.py chapters/chNN/page-script.json` before asking for approval. Each page script must include: - required critical information IDs - reader state: known before, new information, open question - information density goal in plain language, not a number target - non-omittable causality - source lines kept/adapted - panel-level story function, visual brief, dialogue, captions, and SFX with purpose - first-appearance intro boxes for new named characters, including name plus a compact role hook Stop before storyboard. The editor-in-chief or user must approve by creating `chapters/chNN/PAGE_SCRIPT_APPROVED`.
