Copertina Manga Monocromatica con Marionetta

Vertical monochrome manga-style album cover featuring [Karakuri], an elegant young male marionette performer standing in a dark theatrical void, surrounded by white puppet strings and ribbon-like binding strips. - Composition & Pose: Three-quarter view from thighs up, centered. Slim, elegant build. Left arm reaching high overhead with delicate bent fingers resembling a puppeteer or marionette; forearm wrapped in thin bands. Right arm hanging lower at his side, tangled in strings. Soft confident smile, refined eyes gazing upward toward his raised hand. - Subject Details: Wavy medium-length [silver-gray] hair sweeping over one eye. Dressed in a Victorian-inspired stage costume with a white pleated dress shirt, black waistcoat, ribbon tie, high-waisted dark trousers, pocket square, and glossy black highlights. - Strings & Ribbons: Exactly 18 visible stark white ribbons/strings (6 vertical taut strings descending from top, 5 wide curling ribbon loops across top and sides, 4 diagonal strips crossing the body, and 3 sweeping ribbons near the bottom edge). The ribbons entangle him gracefully as if he is willingly performing with them. - Art Style & Lighting: High-contrast black-and-white ink, fine shoujo manga linework, screentone shading, delicate cross-hatching, distressed speckled black background, negative-space white highlights. Polished music jacket aesthetic. - Typography: Centered ornate title over the lower torso featuring large Japanese text "[絡繰]" in white, separated by a thin vertical line and symmetrical filigree flourishes, with the smaller subtitle "[— カラクリ —]" beneath it.
