Finished九龍ジェネリックロマンス
In a future where nostalgia reigns, Kowloon Walled City stands as a meticulously recreated slum, a haven for those who long for the Hong Kong of the past. Real estate agent Reiko Kujirai works within its dense, labyrinthine confines, but her heart yearns for the new and exciting places beyond its walls. Her only coworker, Hajime Kudou, is her polar opposite: a man who finds comfort in the city's retro charm and is put off by anything modern that seeps past its borders.
Despite their constant bickering over the most mundane things, the two often find themselves enjoying each other's company. Their quiet, familiar dynamic is shattered one day when a prank goes wrong, leading Hajime to make an unexpected advance toward Reiko. He apologizes swiftly, but the moment leaves Reiko baffled and unsettled.
Driven by a need to understand his actions, she begins to investigate, only to uncover a past she has no memory of. As the past, present, and future converge within the city's nostalgic embrace, Reiko must confront a reality that feels as familiar as Kowloon itself, yet remains deeply mysterious.
