Synopsis

In the distant future, individuals who adore the old way of life live in Kowloon Walled City—a slum city that serves as a refuge for those who long for the Hong Kong of the past. Realtor Reiko Kujirai, however, craves for the new and exciting places in the area. In contrast, her only coworker, Hajime Kudou, enjoys the nostalgia the city invokes and is put off by anything modern that seeps past its walls. But despite their differing views and constant bickering on the most mundane of things, the two often find themselves enjoying each other's company.

One day, a prank gone wrong leads Hajime to make an unexpected advance toward Reiko, after which he swiftly apologizes for. Baffled by his actions, Reiko starts investigating for possible explanations, only to discover a past that she has no memory of.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

Past & Current / Love vs Amnesia/ Mystery & Suspense

Imagine yourself standing in front of your lover or a person you secretly admired. But today, there is something peculiar about the person. He/she has a completely different personality (with no past memory) and you can never change his/her personality back. Will you still love the familiar stranger?

Being a relatively new series , the story of romance revolving around Kowloon walled city is most definitely a interesting , unique , mysterious and confusing one .

The story itself begins quite simple , yet as it slowly progresses the plot tenses , darkens and with each new chapter mysteries of Kowloon and it's residents starts to unravel . Past , Present , Death , Alive , Lies , Truth , Love , Hate is all but questions that awaits to be answered In the walled city of kowloon

The Characters themselves are full of mysteries , each character is decently well written and captures problems ...

Preliminary (70/? eps)
So i just read this full recently, until latest translated chapter. And having it read before, this is the equivalent to The series called Lost.

In Lost, each episode you are bombared with new information and new lore. But what kowloon does not get a grip at is that they never reveal the lore, presumably in the last chapters of this manga everything will be explained.

Following is my opinion. Why tf is there gay seggs between a psychopathic male doctor and a most likely a modefied male human. And all of a sudden this now about the 2 of them solving this "CONSPIRACY OOGGAAA ...
