A dark apartment where a phone screen glows beside an unanswered letter. 2026 trade-cover trend: oversized structural typography, high-contrast palette, strong readability at thumbnail size. All cover text must be Japanese only; render the quoted title and author name in correct, complete Japanese characters. Book cover with title "返信のない部屋" and author name "桐生かえで" rendered on the cover..

Composition: portrait front-cover layout, bold silhouette or symbolic object, long visual corridor, generous title-safe upper area, strong thumbnail contrast.

Avoid: physical book, 3D book, book mockup, pr
