I started this series thinking it was a normal romance like koi wa ameagari, but I'm glad it turned out to be different.

Also, I'm loving the BL pair, that was an awful lovely surprise since ep 1 that I'm looking forward to see more in the future, pleassssse!

So many questions about what's going on but hey, I'm here for it!

Nice that Reiko has a better sense of self. Also good it was confirmed that Yaomei did actually revert to her previous appearance rather than it just being in her head.

Miyuki is lucky he has Gwen to care about him.

Kinda but not inherently always. I once spoke with some intersexed person who identified as a hermaphrodite and had not even heard the term intersex. I explained hermaphrodite is biologically incorrect because hermaphrodites can reproduce as either sex, which has never been known to occur in any humans so they wound up changing labels.

Well, hermaphrodite is one of proper, neutral words and also connected with one of the most beautiful Hellenistic sculptures, the Borghese Hermaphrodite.

Hermaphrodite became a term in biology for animals that can reproduce as either sex. So it wouldnt apply here due to neither reproductive function working.

But still I am wondering what is up with the split tongue if it was surgical or he is not quite fully human or if even human at all.

Kind of difficult to make out the details but it is a pretty wild layout it looks like. I like this kind of architecture. Would be a nightmare of a fire hazard though and probably a bit noisy.

This whole situation about clones sounds more complicated than it looks on the surface. Hebinuma investigating into this case looks like she's digging deeper into the rabbit hole. I also do find her relationship with Gwen to be one of the more interesting ones.

Can't forget the other characters. Yaomei is hilarious in this one.

It's funny because it feels like we're slowly getting answers but at the same time they add more and more mysteries, anyway it's progressing for Kujirai, also it seems like we'll learn more and more things about Hebinuma as a clone and also he has both genders sexual attributes but can't reproduce yet. That cliffhanger though, it looks like the city is collapsing

Ok, so basically multiple people have a second self going around Kowloon and some have their fake appear when the original no longer exists while in other cases is the other way around. Then there's Generic Terra that as a mechanism was created in order to revive the self of the son of the director and has also resonated with whatever Qi created the second Walled city of Kowloon that was already demolished. The exact condition is still under investigation while Reiko #2 wants to go abroad in order to resonate more with her former self while Kudo doesn't even if he doesn't her self. And in some ways Yaomay's plastic surgery change can get reverted some times depending on the trust she has in her self?

I don't know if I got all that right or wrong but it's certainly a lot.

I still think intersex is the better term now, but i looked up the sculpture and it is very beautiful so thank you for that!
@samspot8r8s I'm glad you like the sculpture - it's one of my favourites from Hellenistic period :)

About names - if you like 'intesex' term, good for you but I think talking about term hermaphrodite as offensive is misunderstanding and inappropriate for many reasons. I wonder why evoen you think in that way. Making modern term doesn't mean older one is belitting in any sense.

'Hermaphrodite' means from ancient times epitome of beauty and also according to philosophy and philology is close to primordial state of humanity (Greek legend about humans souls and bodies cut in half because they were too perfect, too close to gods, so from those times all are only half of themselfs and they try to find another half).

You talk about one of proper usages of this word as the only one. This term has wider range of meaning, including intersex:

@Starpudding
I’m not intersex myself, but I took a sociology course on gender and sexuality when I was in uni, so I’m just passing on what I learned. From what I understand, hermaphrodite is considered outdated and even harmful by most intersex people because it was used in medical and social contexts to pathologize or sensationalize their bodies.

The term intersex is preferred because it more accurately describes variations in sex characteristics without implying that someone is both sexes at once, which is misleading. It’s also the term used by intersex advocacy groups who’ve been working for rights, recognition, and more respectful language.

Like with a lot of things, language evolves as we learn more and listen to the people affected—this is just one of those shifts.

Maybe the middle ground is that in some contexts intersex is the appropriate term, and in others hermaphrodite might still be used. Or at the very least, it’s worth being aware that some people will react negatively to being called a hermaphrodite, regardless of the original meaning.

Like another commenter pointed out, not everyone will be upset, and I’m not here to police language after saying my piece.

Again, thanks for sharing some of your knowledge with me too! :)

@LaczPro19 There's still BL here. According to the doctor's explanation, Miyuki is simply a homosexual man with a set of female genitalia in addition to male ones.

@samspot8r8s A hermaphrodite is literally a two-sex person in the full sense of the word. Miyuki is more of a man with additional female genitalia.

Some people can see Kowloon and some don't

So it enter the supernatural genre now? like Ghost town where only people with fragment of the memory can see it ? But Yaomei is from outside so she got some six sense or something ? I become more confused the more episode this anime had.

The music in the episode was wild! Cello before the opening when Hebinuma's father was talking; piano in conversation between Gwen, Reiko, and Yaomei; theremin after Reiko left; guitar during Reiko's inner monologue; cello or viola when Hebinuma was talking to Dr. Wong; a jazzy beat when Hebinuma was talking to the new guy Yulong; and absolute silence in the most critical parts of the dialogue.

I mean I did mostly skip through all that exposition with that one guy playing with peanut butter lmao

Also there was an explosion? And it just happened to be when Kudo started to freak out. Isn't this similar to what happened when Kudo woke up from a dream a couple episodes ago?

Anyways not sure if I'll keep going from here. I think I've lost interest at this point :/

We're learning more and more about Kowloon 2. If I understand it correctly, Generic Terra recreated Kowloon from the memories of its residents like a mirage. This explains why the vol2 of Kujirai's mystery novel was filled with gibberish, since no one read it Generic Terra couldn't made it.

Also does Miyuki x Gwen gay seggs is only half gay bc he has both genitalia?

That's an interesting thought about the book. Maybe your theory is correct. Anyways, i think everything is connected to kujirai and Kudou somehow. About the snake man, i got myself questioning that too lol

I gotta say, it feels so refreshing that a guy is firmly and unequivocally saying "I love you" to another guy in a non-BL series (and the series did not shy away from displaying their romance as well!) Sad that it took this long to finally happen, but I hope it'll be a step towards a new era. Their relationship may not have lasted long (so far at least, I have not read the manga), but their existence is greatly appreciated.

Aside from that, this is probably my favorite anime of this season thus far! The plot is intriguing and mind-puzzling in a good way, the characters all have very interesting backgrounds, and the overall animation is super captivating. My only issue is that, as some others have pointed out, it feels at times like they're stitching highlights together with little room for each scene to breathe. I think the series would greatly benefit from being a 2-cour anime (or even just extending the runtime of each episode to 30 minutes or so).

This is so crazyyy. Messy breakup at the start :( Gwen deserves better! I am so interested in finding out what is going on in Kowloon, it's surprising how little Miyuki seems to actually know. Also that ending 😳 he wants her to stay, I'm almost sure that what's resonating with Gene Terra is Kudo's feelings and that's why earthquakes and stuff happen, like according to his bad thoughts and dreams.

Hebinuma's dad is probably the worst character doing everything to somehow revive his dead son, and we are starting see more of Hebinuma's character as well as his relationship with Gwen. I'm sure people are going to hate on the scene of them in bed but I think it's there to show how close they are and how much it hurts for him kick him out like that (to protect Gwen from his father). Anyways is Hebinuma a male or female or inbetween/both?

So Kowloon is an illusion that only a few real people can see. Considering they live, eat, and sleep there. It has to be one powerful illusion!

I wasn't expecting Miyuki and Gwen's relationship to be so intense. With how many people have warned Miyuki against getting caught up in his revenge, I hope he takes it to heart. If only slightly.

Now I wonder what that end of the episode explosion is about. I'm rooting for it to be a mishap rather than more trouble!

This episode included support for homosexuality… something that doesn’t align with a large portion of anime fans, especially Arabs and Muslims who strongly oppose such content. This episode led to many negative comments and widespread hatred toward the anime from Arab communities…

As for Hibunoma—he’s a disgusting character in my opinion. Incredibly annoying, easily the worst character of 2025, hands down. Absolutely unbearable. Now he’s talking about having both feminine and masculine traits and wanting to get pregnant… I’m not interested in the details, but it’s just disturbing… weird, and I can’t accept it.

Overall, the episode was very strange and made me feel uncomfortable.
I love slice-of-life works.

So like we pretty much all started to think, this is a cloning situation with Kowloon being some big sort of experiment and at its core, it looks like Hebinuma corp are trying to clone the CEO’s son. But I’m still confused on how Gene Terra factors into it. Like what does the machine actually do? Also peep how Miyuki’s skin peels like an actual snake 🤢

Who would’ve thought Yaomay would be the key to unraveling the mystery of Kowloon though. Love it when best girl is plot relevant lol.

So the city is an optical illusion created by clones resonating with the Gene Terra device , got it. We’re getting supernatural or at least, religious, with the Feng Shui stuff as well.. but what causes people to resonate with Kowloon and see the city? I’m thinking it’ll have to do with yearning to escape your current situation. It’s not just enough to want it like Miyuki’s buddy does, you need to have some sort of deep rooted desire to escape something.. or people who are really lost in life🤔 could be wrong tho

I love how Reiko and Kudo argue like a married couple in the grocery store they’re so cute lol. Glad Kudo told her to stay by his side too, even though it’s not the OG Reiko, he loves her for her ❤️ that cliffhanger!! I reckon the explosion has something to do with that assistant that was hired. Can’t wait for next ep
@Marinate1016 Same here, not into the Yaoi stuff, but it is done well in this show, and that's all that matters to me.

Not sure what to think about this cloning situation, seems pretty messed up to me. Yulong yet another character to add to the books with which we do not know too much about other than his association with Hebinuma

Glad to see Kudou and Reiko gradually move along their relationship and Kudou being the Japanese native he is could not help but show his love for cup ramen. But we have more to come with the explosion at the end of the episode forcing Kudou to leave Reiko to see what was happening.
