Gekiga 4-Panel-Manga Ritter im Späti

Vertical 4-panel comic strip (yonkoma layout), full page with four square panels stacked vertically from top to bottom, separated by clear white gutters on textured printed vintage comic paper. Art Style: [1970s–80s Japanese Gekiga style: gritty, heavy shadows, serious dramatic tone], desaturated palette with sepia tones, dark atmosphere, rough analog ink linework, heavy cross-hatching, and subtle ink bleed. Hand-drawn speech bubbles with Japanese dialogue and dynamic katakana onomatopoeia. Panel 1 (Top): Wide shot of [Knight Alex, a stern medieval knight in full steel armor], standing stiffly behind a modern Japanese convenience store checkout counter. A speech bubble with a formal greeting, and a small door chime sound effect "ウィーン". Panel 2 (Upper Middle): A terrified salaryman customer shrinks back in fright while Alex leans forward menacingly over the counter, glaring with intense hatched eyes. Intimidating sound effect "ゴゴゴゴ" vibrating around him. Panel 3 (Lower Middle): Dramatic dynamic close-up as Alex draws a colossal claymore greatsword with both hands, pointing its blade tip directly at a plastic bento lunchbox. Jagged shouting bubble reading "貴様の糧はこれか!!" and metallic unsheathing sound effect "ジャキィィン！". Panel 4 (Bottom): A tired convenience store manager rendered in a looser comical style smacks Alex over the helmet with a rolled-up magazine; Alex slouches comically dejected. Angry shout bubble with "剣をしまうんだよ！" and comic slap sound effect "スパン！".
