The Kowloon Generic Romance anime adaptation has received a new trailer and a key visual. An April 5 JST premiere date, theme song details, and an additional cast member were also revealed.
The opening theme song is “Summer Time Ghost” by Wednesday Campanella, while the ending song is “Koi no Retronym” by mekakushe. The newly announced cast member is Kengo Kawanishi as Yulong.
Kowloon Generic Romance is based on the manga by Jun Mayuzuki, which began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump in 2019 and has 10 tankoubon volumes as of October 2024. Yen Press describes the premise as:
Welcome to Kowloon Walled City: a dystopian townscape where the people are brimming with nostalgia, and where the past, present, and future converge. Amid the hidden emotions and extraordinary daily lives of the men and women working in its confines, a tale of romance begins to unfold for real estate agent Reiko Kujirai—one that feels as familiar as Kowloon itself…
A live-action movie adaptation will premiere this year.
