Synopsis of Kowloon Generic Romance
In the distant future, people who love the old way of life live in the Kowloon Walled City, a slum that serves as a refuge for those who long for the Hong Kong of the past. Real estate agent Reiko Kujirai, however, is looking forward to the area’s new and exciting places. On the contrary, her only co-worker, Hajime Kudou, enjoys the nostalgia that the city invokes and is turned off by anything modern that seeps beyond its walls. But despite their different points of view and their constant arguments about the most mundane things, they both often enjoy each other’s company.
One day, a prank gone wrong leads Hajime to make an unexpected advance toward Reiko, after which he quickly apologizes. Bewildered by her actions, Reiko begins to investigate possible explanations, only to discover a past that she has no memory of.
