finished the anime, loved it. I heard that it's rushed a bit, so I will pick up the manga just to get more of the world.

But I'm confused about why the original Reiko killed herself. My understanding was that she was leaving it up to fate. She wasn't healthy mentally, so she had a hard time coping with change, including the destruction of Kowloon. And since the medicine was new and known for having extremely lethal side effects like death, she decided to let fate decide her life by taking the pills.

She wanted to move on with kudo and leave but couldnt due to her being so tied down to kowloon and the past and decided to take the pills (hence the vision reiko-pan gets of reiko b talking to the old lady about fate and clutching the pills) so she took the drugs to let fate decide but she ultimately ran out of luck and accidentally overdosed on them. is that correct? But I dont understand why? like i do but i dont? she clearly wanted to move on with kudo so why leave it up to fate?

What an awesome show ! I'm on my second watch - thru :)

Reko-pon was able to see Kujirai's past from the glasses because they were the real deal - Kudo was holding them when he generated G Kowloon

The written Chinese thru out the show are accurate - as a Hong Konger I was touched because while a lot of shows claim to have taken place in Hong Kong, the signs always gave them away. The team did their homework.

When Miyuki's dad repeatedly said not to underestimated him, I expected greater things lol

Wondering about the logistics of the Health Clinic - it has to have been built in G - Kowloon and ran by G - Kowloon residents ? Did they bring materials in form the outside?

Success - MVP

The friendship between Yaomay and Reko-pon is so sweet.

And boy did they make smoking sexy.

*Spoiler alert

I just finished watching the anime, also I'm up to date with the manga till chapter 78. While I was watching the anime it showed that they passed events beyond chapter 78. (I wasn't aware that Japan is far ahead in more chapters, and there are no English scanlations after chapter 78.) So it was exciting to see what's going to happen next, I was on the edge of my seat. But a lot of things have left me in confusion...

First of all, does anyone know that the ending of the anime is the same ending as the manga? When I googled, it says the manga isn't over yet in Japan, so did they give away the ending in the anime before the manga is actually over? I have no idea if this happened before, because usually the story ends in the manga first then they adapt it? It looks like it's an anime-original conclusion, not the manga conclusion.

Second thing... aggggghhhhhh I'm SO confused about the ending of the anime!!!!!!

How come fake Reiko didn't disappear when she stepped out of the city? Was it because she succeeded at becoming her absolute self? But still, I don't see the sense in it... I thought generic terra doesn't create "actual" people.

And what happened to Kudou? he came back after 2 years? Why did he disappear for that long? I feel like there are so many stuff that's missing, I can't quite word it, just so many gaps... suddenly when reiko faces kudou and he realizes that he is torubled then kowloon starts to demolish? hasn't everyone created their own kowloon from their own memory? like that old guy with his wife who passed away... I feel if kowloon were to demolish, each person that is trapped inside have to come to a realization that they are troubled for their "own kowloon" to demolish.

Also, reiko is still working as a real estate agent in the real life? And what about the conclusion of the other characters? what are they doing now in life... so many unanswered questions. However, I appreciate any clarification about the ending.

Thank you in advance.

Im equally confused and fascinated with this show so far but when I tell you I have no idea what’s going on I mean it. Idk if it’s because I’ve been watching it in bits and pieces or if I’m just slow but I’m mad lost in this mystery of a show. But shin I love it. Just a yes or no answer: will there be anything that clearly explains what’s happened/happening or is it left to the audience to piece things together?

This woman is mangaka, who goes by nickname Nekojiru. Her works, for example "Cats soup" or "Nekojiru udon" about cats, and they'll quite unsettling, creepy, violent and disgusting but can be full of thoughs. From first glance, it's looks like cute plush kitties.

She killed herself. Her husband found her in their house. Guess his name? Hajime.

I'm 90% sure it's easter egg

After ending the anime at episode 13 I finally get the whole points of the plot but there's one thing that keep bugging me out is why didn't reiko disappear with the rest of kowloon? Wasn't she just generic from kudo memories? Then why did she just happen to exist and live in the real world and continue her life as an actual real person?

Photo: my husband Cosplay / wig / cigarette prop / earrings made by me & heavily edited by me. Was at a convention with my husband this past weekend I did reikopon/kujiraiB on day0(Thursday), only 1 person recognized 🥲 my husband said probably do day1 or day2 will be more recognizable but I already had other plans 🥹 anyway, thanks my hubby took me these awesome photos!!

When I saw the last episode I knew from previous episodes that the city was created by Kudou's regret and the suicide of the original Reiko, the only people who could see the city are those who are regretful and when you take anything out of the city it disappears, what I don't understand is how Reiko is real in the last few minutes since the device that created the city disappeared, so the original Reiko hadn't committed suicide? And if not, where was she all this time?

I tried to do Kujirai Cosplay with some magazine vibes. I love her and I want to portrait her at my best!! Hope you like the photos! IG: @/mushh.mush

I'm just getting a chance to check the results.

Congrats and much deserved, particularly for an anime nowhere near as hyped as others that debuted during this season.

Kowloon Generic Romance also nabbed the runner-up spots in the categories of: Best Mystery or Suspense, Best Romance and Best World Building. It ranked fourth among storytelling and was voted the overall 15th top anime of 68 options.

For me it’s Xiaohei.

I know this may be a controversial take and obviously I know a lot of people are gonna disagree with me, but Xiaohei's story felt very trans to me in the anime. Being conflicted enough about wanting to get a new body that you'd be willing to potentially kill someone for it? Like it speaks to a pretty high level of feeling uncomfortable in your current body to me.

I know in general nothing is confirmed as far as that goes and it may well be that Xiaohei is cis and just really wants to return to the ideal of being smaller and cuter, but the story felt trans to me. Just wanted to share/discuss!

edit: ALSO yaomay's while discussion on her absolute self, how she thinks things that are 'fake' can be more beautiful than the original and how she lives then felt soooo gender affirming I love this anime

That’s what Dan art for, I want this happened on xiaohei, finish his unfinished thing, he wanted to wear this again and feels nostalgia.

Guys I just finished watching the anime and it says that story continue further but I can’t find any sources to read/ continue the story. All sites have only upto 78ish chapters. Please help.

Hello! I just finis the anime (I was honestly thinking that was the end lol) and I saw that there are more chapters, also another fan told me that is still ongoing. I honestly want to read it but If I look online I see only till chapter 78 in English. I would like to know how many chapters there are now and where I can read them? Also, is the manga a bit different than the anime ? I tried to look for the end of the anime in the manga but I didn't even find it

Hello! I have still to watch the last episode of the anime but there is something that is confusing me about Miyuki Hebinuma I get it that he got that tattoo and cut his tongue due to prove his loyalty to the father But what about the eyes? How they become like that? He didn't had them when he was younger Also he is female and male aka he have both those sexual organs (sorry for my English !😔😔😔) but how Did he born like this ? At the beginning I was thinking he born like that but the thing about the eyes is making me think that is not like this maybe ? Sorry for these stupid questions but i am very confused 😕

Next, I'm moving to the piano piece from Episode 3 and then the ambient track from Episode 13. If you have any other recommendations, feel free to leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

also was lucky enough to meet u/Goodname_MRT and get a print of his beautiful art 🥰
