Using the provided reference image, transform the Google Maps street-view photo into a clean hand-painted anime-style cityscape illustration while preserving the same camera angle, sidewalk composition, row of trees, building on the left, road on the right, and pedestrian placement. Remove all Google Maps UI overlays, labels, arrows, buttons, and screenshot elements. Replace the overcast atmosphere with bright clear daytime lighting, a soft blue sky, gentle sunbeams, warmer highlights, and slightly idealized colors. Keep the scene realistic in layout but make it polished, serene, and picturesque, like a background illustration from a slice-of-life anime.
