sunflowerboys 's review for:
Kowloon Generic Romance - Tome 1
by Jun Mayuzuki
“In a strange mood for love”
I started reading this manga because someone mentioned how much it reminded them of Wong Kar-wai and they did not lie: there are so many echoes with the Hong Kongese's films, be it in the atmosphere of the city, both quiet and busy depending on the area, the nostalgic feeling, the dialogues that are tinged with intimacy, estrangement and longing… it was all lovely.
Also, there is a nice twist at the end which questions the notion of the passing of time and leads the story to a new genre that I can't wait to discover.
I'm really looking forward to reading the sequel!
