Information about Kowloon Generic Romance:
Kowloon Generic Romance is a romance manga that is written and illustrated by Jun Mayuzuki. The work began publication in Shueisha Publishing House’s Weekly Young Jump magazine since November 2019. Currently, the Kowloon Generic Romance manga is still in publication and Shueisha Publishing House released the tenth compilation volume last October 18 this year.
Last November 10 this year, Shueisha Publishing announced the production of an anime adaptation of the Kowloon Generic Romance manga. However, this news was accompanied by another announcement: the confirmation of a live-action movie adaptation of Jun Mayuzuki’s work.
The manga Kowloon Generic Romance has the following description: In the distant future, people who love the old way of life live in Kowloon Walled City, a slum that serves as a haven for those who long for the Hong Kong of the past. Real estate agent Reiko Kujirai, however, craves the new and exciting places in the area.
In contrast, her only co-worker, Hajime Kudou, relishes the nostalgia the city invokes and recoils at anything modern that seeps beyond its walls. But despite their differing views and constant bickering over the most mundane things, the two often enjoy each other’s company.
One day, a prank that goes wrong leads Hajime to make an unexpected advance towards Reiko, after which he quickly apologizes. Puzzled by his actions, Reiko begins to investigate possible explanations, only to discover a past of which she has no memory.
