Art style: Anime / Manga.
Cinematic Anime, vertical 9:16. Max Korzh in 2012 performs in a small crowded club during the early rise of his career. He holds a microphone and sings with energetic emotion while a young audience raises hands and watches closely. Simple stage lights and light smoke fill the room. The venue should feel intimate and packed, showing that his popularity is just beginning to grow. Realistic proportions, mature cinematic anime style, early-2010s atmosphere, simple composition, no readable text, no logos, no watermark.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Anime / Manga" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Anime / Manga". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Anime / Manga" idiom, not in any other medium.
