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.Note: Nominated for the 14th Manga Taishou in 2021.
I agree with the other posters here that the story line is a bit boring and the BL surprised me as well, not in a good way though coz it seemed forced. Hopefully Mayuzuki-san will be turn this is into a worthwhile read later becoz Koi wa Ameagari no You ni was a masterpiece that I can relate. lmao
Not that great tbh, the reason for this is because the pacing of certain plot elements are somewhat all over the place, not only that, but you know the trope that the last page of the chapter is about to reveal something, only for you to wait for the next chapter and see what the answer was, but in the next chapter the answer was not even said and instead was interrupted by some shit kr not even elaborated. This manga does alot of this, i call it blue balling.
This manga loves to blue ball its readers,
In these 50 chapters there have been more questions than answers
Lastly i really disliked the inclusion of the two main antagonists. Firstly, it felt extremely forced in, i was hoping the villains would be as mysterious as how everything in the manga has been so far, however nope, instead its a heavy bl storyline between 2 deliquent characters. Now do not get me wrong, i do not hate bl. But this felt like the inclusion was to justify the cruel acts the two characters do to one another, like non consensual stuff.
Regardless it is a good manga, but at its current state, do not read, let it finish first because there are so many questions which they dont rven provide any form of answers to
I am fairly convinced that Mayuzuki Jun is a manga god.
Great beginning
I'd advice to read the article about the Kowloon walled city from wikipedia BEFORE reading this manga, cause there are things about it you should know to understand the plot well
