An artistic shoujo manga style, in black and white, using soft, pencil-textured lines, adept at using large areas of gray tones and delicate screentones to create a hazy atmosphere. Adopt a composition that looks "through something," for example, looking at the girl through a window covered in raindrops. This is a medium shot. The girl is sitting sideways by the window, perhaps in a café or an old bookstore. Her gaze is lowered, perhaps resting on a small object in her hand (like a letter or a dried leaf), or simply staring blankly at the tabletop. Her expression is one of calm sorrow; she is not crying, but her brows are knitted with a faint sadness. The design of light, shadow, and "haziness" is key: The light is diffused by the rain and glass, making it very soft and ambient, so there are no sharp boundaries between light and dark in the image. The girl's outlines are soft, even slightly blurred, as if she is about to merge into the background. The scene behind her, such as bookshelves and tables, is rendered very vaguely with details omitted, leaving only general shapes. The entire picture seems to be veiled in a thin mist. The true "hazy" effect is embodied in the foreground window: the spots of light and distorted reflections created by the raindrops on the glass, as well as the streaks of water sliding down, physically "blur" the viewer's line of sight, perfectly interpreting the theme of a "hazy memory."
