Anime/Manga Style Graphic Novel Illustration

I'm looking for a talented illustrator to help bring my love origin story to life in a graphic novel format. The story unfolds in a modern city and has a dramatic and intense tone.

Ideal candidate should:
- Be proficient in Anime/Manga illustration style
- Have experience illustrating dramatic narratives
- Understand the nuances of romantic storytelling

Please include a portfolio of similar work in your response.

I will provide photos of the actual people these characters represent to properly depict them in an animated style.
