Sinopsis 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 turns his back on 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. Puzzled
by her actions, Reiko begins to investigate possible explanations, only to
discover a past that she has no memory of.
