Through the Window
Looking through windows, searching for a future.
This concept uses windows as a metaphor for John’s search for an adoptive family, turning them into a visual thread throughout the sequence.

Rough Style Frames
The illustration and text colors were refined to enhance visual clarity and correct hierarchy, guiding attention toward the title and name as the primary focal elements.
The titles were originally not fixed and shifted across scenes. To manage this variability, a grid system was introduced to ensure clarity and consistency.
