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, yearns for the new and exciting places in the area. In contrast, her
only coworker, Hajime Kudou, revels in the nostalgia the city invokes and is
put off by anything modern that seeps in beyond its walls. But despite their
different viewpoints and constant bickering over the most mundane things, the
two often enjoy each other's company.
One day, a prank gone wrong leads Hajime to make an
unexpected advance towards Reiko, after which he quickly apologizes. Baffled by
his actions, Reiko begins to investigate possible explanations, only to
discover a past she has no memory of.
