Kowloon Generic Romance

There isnt going to be a happy ending, is there

7432534526.jpg - 1754x2506, 529.64K

There is a path.
All the illusionary residents are recreated based on Kudou's experiences. The reason the crossdressing shota doesnt disapear when his real half enters Kowloon is because Kudou doesnt know that he was actually a boy.

All the fake people are explicitly stated to be exactly the same as their real version, literal soulless copies. Reiko is the only one who's actually different from her other half, IE she's actually real.

Also the author is a woman so she doesn't have the stones to make a depressing ending.

Also the author is a woman so she doesn't have the stones to make a depressing ending.

Did you not read her other manga, also adapted to anime? It will most likely end with a bittersweet nothing burger.

Why have the last 20 chapters been translated into every fucking language EXCEPT English

That was because it was a romance story between a JK and an adult man. She didn't have the balls to make that a happy ending.
This time its two consenting adults so we should be in the clear.

Holy shit, you've never read manga before.

Is that from the spanish chapters, english is behind and I don't remember that

English typesetters get complacent too quickly and nobody ever wants to snipe anymore because every potential translator has either given up on translating or things translating is a waste of their time when they could just be experiencing Japanese media without translating it.
And then people wonder why the only people Funimation are turning to are "trannylators" when none of the people complaining are actually bothering to learn Japanese themselves.

Ive tried to learn Japanese 3 separate times and always give up once I get to Kanji, that shit is retarded

the anglish tribes are a notoriously lazy and unmotivated lot

Official English release is now ahead of the scanlations, by a whole volume

I really wonder what the anime original ending is going to be, the manga seems to be building up to something wild

It really does suck that we're getting one volume per episode

Im sure itll come down to whatever the fuck that alien looking sky diamond thing actually is.
My first idea was that its like the Ark from Soma, a computer that houses the digital copies of all the people uploaded to it in a simulation of reality. Then the story started looking more paranormal, then Reiko started ripping off stickers with literal computer error codes on them so the simulation theory still seems likely. Kinda lazy though

inb4 Reiko is actually just crazy and in an asylum

I suspect the anime, film and manga will all have different endings

Just from what ive read up to chapter 78
There are translations in other languages up to ch95 but I refuse to ruin this manga for myself by looking for spoilers. Guess I have to wait for the official translation for once

There can be, if Reiko manages to become her own person.

Is this NTR like Anon Babble said?

like Anon Babble said?

Okay, how can you make something set in Kowloon and NOT have kung fu? Why? What the fuck, bros?

I thought it would be following the movie ending

But is the Romance generic?

Sex. With sweaty, possibly fake, Japanese real-estate cake

Kowloon and the Favelas in Brazil looks strangely comfy.

Because Jap woman writer. The triads aren't even there despite them running the place. It's just some hipster paradise and faggot snake man romance.

Because you're a faggot that's why

W-why doesn't it have loads of sweaty men for me to jerk myself to?

If this is only half as good as Koi Wa Amegari, it's a must-see.

koiame (2).webm - 1280x720, 2.11M

generic

so it's a self-aware ironic garbage?

Kowloon

So... "WE" are going "INSIDE"?

I enjoy it much more than Amegari, and I am not someone bothered by its ending

It's a generic Japanese romance, which is to say NTR.

Ah, the schizos have arrived

One post before the pantyshot.

Just with opening scene you can tell it will be a 10/10 kino.

Pantsuschizo on suicide watch.

Delicious cake

1st pantyshots of the season? in non-ecchi series? wtf

Kung Fu

A criminal group

Immediately thinks of big sweaty men and cocks

You're a disgusting faggot. Consider joining the 41%.

Backgrounds so detailed, peak Hong Kong punk.

I'm not a faggot! Y-you are

Not an argument. Go back

when tulpa girls can sweat it's all over for the human race

is this good, I'll leave and read it if you say it is

Now those are some actually detailed, well drawn panties! Ecchi shows can only dream of this!

We see her nipples in the manga, hope the anime doesn't exclude this very important scene

A-At least the hags in this are actually older than me, unlike the "hags" and "christmas cakes" in all those other shows.

So is this full romance shenanigans or there will be some fantastical plot?

it's a mystery show

schizophrenic sci-fi mystery

Yes

Goddammit, now I wanna smoke

Is it just me or does she look like a short haired Akira?

Akira

which Akira

Am I watching a Chinese romance that's animated by Japan

Chinese romance

It's two Japs working and living (probably illegally) in a slum in Hong Kong

Why did you not mention this is the anime thread. Fuck you op.

Interesting, picked up

ok, that was pretty good

studio: Arvo Animation

literally who

So is the manga made in the 80s because that's what the artstyle is telling me

retard

It's just Kujirai B

Behind the supermarket, or with some watermelon?

tachibana akira

look at the manga's author

I rather not go with AI subs, surely that's not the only option?

This is the biggest retro bait manga. You'd think it was made pre-00 but it started 6 years ago actually.

Retro bait? That's harsh words....are they barred from using the art style they are currently using?

I want to have sex with Sugita's voice

Mangafags, how was the first episode? Looks great but I didn't read the manga yet

Japanese

Isn't most everyone in this Chinese?

Most characters are, but the main two are Japanese

the weird 90's aesthetic this anime has is terrible.

the 90's were a mistake.

Your existence is a mistake

The look is the very reason for why I picked this up

It's transferred the style of the manga quite well, hasn't it?

qrd on the alien thing?

Everyone's a big Ramiel fan in the future

you are too young to be here kiddo

He says as he lives happily in trannyworld

I've only known Kujirai for fifteen minutes, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this thread and then myself

file.png - 1920x1080, 1.77M

2025 is objectively better than 1995.

It's the romance of humanity. Watch Episode 1.

I kind of wish the anime could be released in Cantonese.
After all, the story takes place in Hong Kong, China, and Cantonese would be more interesting.

Bra vs no bra

Bras for delicious cakes were a mistake

I need to rescue her from the life of solitude as old childless lady.

This episode made me hungry for cake, and for actual food as well.

Women don't wear bras to bed. Damn anime original shit.

"I rather live in a world full of trannies and faggot propaganda than when it was relatively normal"

What panels?

wait for the bluray

Still younger than me.

living in a garbage dump is good because it's nostalgic

That is weird

Yes.

people can feel nostalgic to all sorts of things. at the end it's how you felt at those moments. maybe the feeling of going back home after a hard day felt good, and it's become nostalgic even if life wasn't that good back then. etc

The literal monologue from the 1st episode is a recurring theme, that should cue you in.
It's ok but it's rushed as fuck.

Kujirai

On the balcony with my morning coffee

Did they just do 8 chapters in 1 episode? Is this gonna be the pacing from now on or are they just rearranging stuff?

I remember reading her precious work. I thought it was really cute. Maybe is because i read it in one go that the ending didn't anger me. I heard the Anime had a different ending tho

1 volume = 1 episode
Shit sucks

It's one volume per episode. They've hit all the important points, and it'll be nice to have something in [CURRENT YEAR] that doesn't just adapt the first two volumes and then fuck off into the "Season 2: Never Ever" pile

Illegal immigrant, Place ಠ_ಠ
Illegal immigrant, Japan

Not really.

Dropped

So the threads for this anime are going to be filled with spoilers and people hinting at stuff? That's a shame.

Beyond the point you raise I prefer the left as the right looks like generic shojo manga. The anime has more character to it

like every other adaptation, you mean?

Had months between the announcement and today to read the manga

Didn't

Literally not my problem.

If I had to read the source material for every seasonal anime I watch, I'd lose brain cells.

as it should be

Yes.

I have bad taste

Again: Literally not my problem

i'd rather live in the 90's in filth and squalor than today

She smokes

how the fuck did you even deduce that you fucking brainlet

Not an argument

Also not my problem

if I just spam not my problem nobody will notice I'm retarded

The story is definitely not what I expected from the title.

If I just watch everything I'll never have to develop good taste!

Is the manga nearing the end?

what chapters are those?

The good thing about hags like this is that they've got a jungle down there.

Yes but I can't remember how much longer its supposed to go on for, the schedule is awful (technically biweekly but loads of mini hiatus)

Reiko-sex

Her apartment has no AC.

Smokers suck

Chapters 56 and 66

Generic Romance

Glad shows are making it so easy to know they're trash these days.

Generic is the codename for cloned people like the FMC is.

XD

from the same author as Koi wa Ameagari no You ni.

yeah nvm, picked the fuck up.

uhhh spoilers?!?

It's not a spoiler.

Why would that incentivize you after not delivering on the ending?

I don't remember the ending but I do remember liking the show.

Looks like Ayanami Rei

the name is Reiko

Hmmmm.

Just a coincidence.

Rami.png - 960x720, 1.22M

ASW got a release too, might that be a better encode and subs than SubsPlease?

That is a re-encoder for people who love smaller file sizes at the expense of video quality.

Counter coal girls eh? Ok thanks.

She has a nice ass that's for sure

is this cute

This is how Anon's brain works because he's a nigger

If that anon could read he'd be very upset with you

However, they are gonna rush the hell out of the manga because they are adapting everything.
The 1st episode adapts the whole 1st volume.

Arvo

El arvo canpion?

Do you think they are going for an anime-only ending with a pacing like this?

They've already said they are

I liked the feel of this show

Reminds me of this criminally underrated masterpiece

Fucking trash. Why do they keep doing this?

I'm so fucked up

They are also launching a live action movie for this in august.

Is this a actual good romance story or is it gooner bait with “romance”

It's a sci-fi mystery blended with romance.

gooner bait

Oh no the girl is attractive, how terrible.

It's probably the anon who wanted more sweaty muscular men flexing

You know what I mean. As in the author subverts the story for pandering instead of telling a cohesive story

No I don't know what you mean. How is showing an attractive woman in revealing clothing subverting anything? It just enhances the already excellent scenery and atmosphere of this show. For the life of me I have no idea where you cretins who hate fan service come from. Go back to your bible study group or wherever the fuck you crawled here from.

Be nice anon, he got lost on his way to

I am watching this anime because I find the main girl very attractive.

gay

hey i was just told this piece of media has hags in it

are there any hags in this that would be of interest to me and is it any good

China OL
Blonde bimbo
Multitalented smol girl ( i forget how old she is)

Why is there a giant prism in the sky? Also I feel like the environment looks too nice to be Kowloon. Why is there a cafe in such a shithole?

Will probably watch for the handservice

There aren't enough smokers in anime

You need to be 18 to post on Anon Babble.

fellow young jump fags, don't forget to watch uma musume cinderella gray tomorrow

no, that was me

buy fish.jpg - 486x373, 28.74K

Do I have to watch the previous seasons first?

no, actually
it's an adaption of the manga, which is functionally a prequel to the gacha's main story

You don't, it's a prequel. But I assume that your enjoyement will be much higher if you're already familiar with the anime.

Multitalented smol girl ( i forget how old she is)

girl

the drawing style and buildings are reminding me of evangelion

Kowloon

For one side the art style calls my attention but on the other side I have no intentions in following a series with "Kowloon" on it...

This show would be easier to watch if Reiko took off her ugly glasses.

Posting this next time there is a dance thread

Eh, it doesn't represent the cast, the setting (90s Kowloon, hello?) and the target audience.
The bridge with that stupid rap fucking sucks.
All in all it's kinda okay.

It's a plot point, in this episode even

This. I would say she is in perfect condition for a 32 yo.

Reiko

perfect condition

She lives in a shitty apartment and smells like sweet and watermelon.

Water, with a whiff of red.

povertykino

Picked up.

this is what Reiko thinks men want

This is why she's still single at 32, by the way.

That's the apparent setting. I've been reading the manga since volume 7.

maybe its the smoking

legs.png - 1920x1080, 2.07M

since volume 7

Why would you start at volume 7?

when was the last time sugita got a mc role

the ending to After the Rain sucked
everyone wanted the age gap romance to take off, but we got cucked big time.
Kowloon started off good, but the mangaka shifted focus to the side yaoi couple and i stopped reading after that. I really don't care for it.

In this context, the natural interpretation would be "since volume 7 (came out)".
Use a trip next time so I know in advance if I need to be extra explicit when addressing your shit.

vril...

So why not use that then instead of being an obtuse retard? Oh! Now I get it. You did that because you ARE an obtuse retard. Well played.

Anon you are a retard if you didnt recognize how important those characters are to the overarching plot

What was up with the cicada and cricket ambient noise? Production oversight or just generic placeholder?

This gotta be the series with the worst title ever.

Severance anime

anime skips through an entire volume in a single episode

Animeonly fags are the worst.

Is the twist that this is The Matrix, he's the only real person, and she's an NPC based on his real life dead wife?

I don't se anyone beating Anne

War Wong Kai anime when?

Gonna have an original ending

I wonder if she likes doing those for her Anime to see people's reactions and prepare herself

1346586890.webm - 1100x618, 3.81M

yea i know the fags are insiders.
still dont care for em, took too long of a build up imo. the fact its focusing more on them and how gay they are is what made me drop it

Why was the rape scene at the end necessary

I also think she takes, but shoushimin, kowloon and aharen are also strong contenders

2 minutos earlier

(inner monologue) "I like Kudou-kun"

rape

You could literally see her trying to push away and she can’t because he is forcing her. That is rape even if she had a crush on him or not.

I unironically miss the trashpunky city from my childhood. Everything looks clinical and lifeless nowadays. True essence of soulessness.

Sort of but also no

Massive spoilers for everything we know up to the latest English chapters
Series takes place in the near-far future, the Kowloon in this series is the SECOND Kowloon that was rebuilt out of nostalgia years before the story starts
This second Kowloon was destroyed 3 years before the story begins
The current Kowloon is an illusionary physical manifestation of the Kowloon in Kudou's consciousness that can only be seen by people with regrets
The Illusionary Kowloon is, for all intents and purposes, real. Anything created in the city disappears when it leaves the city but exists while inside it
The vast majority of people inside are 1:1 facsimiles of people that lived there, if their real world self enters fake Kowloon the copy disappears
The copies are all explicitly stated to be exactly the same as they were in reality
Kujirai's real version was Kudou's fiance who killed herself under mysterious circumstances
Fake Kujirai is the only copy that has a different personality from the original so she may or may not be an actual person

so is literally Blade Runner?

I'd say. I'm eye raping Kujirai even as I type this post.

Two japanese leads in a nonjapan setting

I hate this, the equivalent of onions sauce in medieval europe.

medieval europe traded along the silk road like everyone else in afroeurasia

Hoe cucked is this manga? Just from the anime trailer I saw the girl kissing a guy who wasn't the male protagonist, and there is some faggy bishounen wearing makeup. Looks like a femcel fantasy?

Female protagonist only likes the male protagonist. The other guy is a flagrant homosexual who only did it because he likes to stir shit up like a typical gay man.
Male protagonist is a chad

kisses chad's girl as a prank

Pass. I would rather read a manga made for men.

True, he should have kissed chad instead

Less cucked at the very least.

After hearing about After the Rain, it seems this author just hates good endings so im betting this will get a dumb one too

cinderella gray will be AOTS

After the Rain

I never followed that beyond the anime, there it didn't seem like it was going to a band end. Can I get a spoiler?

read a manga made for men

this is serialized in a seinen magazine

I always like it when they shade black hair with purple. You used to see it a lot in anime, but not so much anymore.

Same age as me.

she's 32

So what? Kujirai is a very cute woman. Kudou is even older, and I bet a good amount of anons here are as well.

based Shenmue poster

I originally picked up the manga because Shenmue II made me watch everything set in Kowloon (and I liked "After the Rain" by the mangaka).

Its the same ending

If you meant a bland end, then yes.
Age gap meant they couldn't get together legally. The "rain is cleared" in the sense she's over her injury and back to her old self, and he's got some self confidence in return. Beautiful youth memories and all that Japanese nonsense.
In the last couple decades it's been common for authors to resolve endings that way. I imagine they think it's a good way to have a somewhat realistic ending that's not a cliché (happy endings = stereotypical ending for romance).
What I don't think they fully realize, and their editors seem to suck at pointing at it, is that they should have a stronger emotional buildup to lead to that bittersweet ending and making it at least cathartic or impactful. Like in Call of the Night or the Insomnia kids. It's a fucking nothing burger.
You see those endings in movies, and that's fine. Bad endings can be good and make you feel things. But you experience that over a 2 hour long movie, not after years of following a publication where things just dissolve.

Ok gotta check my memory then cause I don't remember shit about it. I thought manga went beyond it.

It's token resistance.

32 is ancient.

It won't be long until she gets a beating if she keeps talking so much

To japs cicada sounds=its hecking summer

How does it compare to the old one? I feel like I shouldn't watch the new one before watching the original Anne of the Green Gables anime.

But medieval europe had lots of onions.

Check the dedicated thread provoking a console war in this very second. It shouldn't be too hard to find.

Low test men who read cuckshit don't count

y-yea.. age is just a number...

Yaiba is the superior remake

Kudou is even older

he's younger, actually

Way pass her and probably not even a virgin. Enjoy her for 2 years before she inevitably hits the wall.

Of course not.

Kanji is the key.
Japanese makes no sense without Kanji.
This might sound paradoxical, but the best way to learn Japanese is to learn it without Kanji and to learn how to read Kanji once you have a somewhat firm grasp of spoken Japanese. It's how the Japanese do it, after all.

He's older now

Japanese wikipedia says he's 34

absolute kinography
it seems like that's what's being sey up with the two simultaneous adaptations

Zoomers will get filtered but pick and choose is the best

yeah, I forgot

Im fine with every adaptation having a different ending so long as the manga has the best ending

Friendly reminder clonewifes and shadowifes are equivalent

you are watching shoushimin series, right?

and barwifes are superior

disgust.jpg - 1920x1080, 681.05K

You seem stressed

Why is Kowloon look so nice in this show? With all the greenery and how bright it is from the sunlight.

So this is a manwha?

Anon Babble never left after April fools...

N O S T A L G I A

Yeah just like Kingdom

First episode and I'm already loving this. I love the setting and I love the main characters and I want to see them make love.

I originally made this thread for the manga, I didnt even know the anime started today

Of course

kowloonpunk

Third world

There's nothing more disgusting in this planet than women smoking, thanks for the quick drop.

Why are you gay?

Why do zoomers get filtered by smoking so much?

Smoking is gross and kills you

It smells really bad.

So does vaping but zoomers do that all the time.

My fetish is older women.

Based heterosexual anon

Cringe homosexual anon

Where do I meet a big tittied, 32 year old, chain smoking, leggy, chinese woman with sex hair?!

She's a Japanese expat.

Kowloon

smells bad

it's an addiction

can be expensive

kills your lungs

Idk, you tell me why did boomer women fall for literal jewish feminist propaganda to sell more cigarettes?

In china probably

Don't mix anime with real life.

if you think ntr is a happy ending, there will be

If you lived in Kowloon you'd probably pick up smoking too

Why does the art style remind me of Cowboy Bebop?

They're against vices except when it comes to all the antidepressants and ritalin and adderall they need to function in everyday life.

Its going for a nostalgic art style because nostalgia is a central theme of the story

Did you know that Kowloon means nine dragons? Pretty cool right?

Dont forget weed and vape pens

Wow anon that's very very cool, thanks for telling me

485721758.png - 1280x960, 847.02K

It's a shame it's so terrible for you because the aesthetic of it is great.

nine dragons

Mother's earth

Her personality is perfect and her body is perfect too. I love the dynamic of the two main characters. It's fun watching them interact.

It's just a woman sucking a roll of paper with deadly chemicals inside. Nothing aesthetic about that.

Its going for a nostalgic art style because nostalgia is a central theme of the story

It's a good choice, those backgrounds are fucking sumptuous.

they pronounce Kowloon as CULON

Jaja, me rio solito...

It's bad in anime too.

I do too for some reason since I was a kid
kuron just sounds right

bro, it looks like "cow loon" so why would you pronounce it otherwise

How's that brainwashing working out for you?
Has it made you steer clear of certain artworks because "they're not proper" or some shit narrow minded people like to think?

I mean she's a chain smoker
literally a strike out

the actual reason? They can't afford it and the reasons are pure cope. A lot of them also smell and taste like absolute dogshit so there's no reason to enjoy them beyond chemical addiction.

t.

smoking.webm - 1920x1200, 877.23K

You should look up the definition of chain smoker or how chain is used in that context.
Maybe learn a thing or two.

Yeah I was brainwashed about believing that yellow teeth are undesirable. That's just what formal education does to a motherfucker.

The comment that broke the minds of the white trash simps in this thread.

Probably because there's an area called Kulon Mine in Digimon World 3, that the term Kulon just sticked to my brain
Cow Loon just sounds wrong.

Kulon.jpg - 270x61, 10.27K

It's 2D fiction. Aesthetics have nothing to do with desirability.
Your formal education has failed you, or your autism has gone undiagnosed, zoom zoom friend.

boomer women

Smoking is more prevalent among men than women.

?
what's this retard on about

file.png - 849x84, 19.49K

Smoking is cool, there's no way around this.
Although smoking weed or vaping is lame.

only soiboys get upset with smoking, it's the same with redditors getting upset at non vaxxers

Yes, a 2D representation of an undesirable trait. Even an uneducated retard like you should understand that much.

It's hot but I wouldn't want my wife to have smoker's lung.
I still find it funny that advertisers managed to make women associate smoking with feminism, though.

When your porn addiction and inceldoom reach their peak, you start to feel attracted to unpleasant habits as long as it's a woman who does it, like smoking.

She appears smoking a total of 3 cigarettes in what looks like 3 or 5 days of her life.
Again, aesthetics have nothing to do with desirability.
You know how to pseudo dissociate from "ironic" shit like your zoomer kind does, maybe try it with this, you narrow minded normalfag.

Smoking is cool because in nature men are the ones taking the risk and being self destructive, for a woman to be self destructive is anti nature

t.

2DEY3KJ.jpg - 866x1390, 65.76K

yeah because the series shows every single thing she does in her life

retard

It shows her doing quite a lot of stuff where she's not smoking. But I guess those scenes (the majority of the 1st ep) do not count in your chain smoking assessment.

This is the slutty cake the smoker boomers like?
Kek

If the Anime has the best ending then which is the real one?

We'll call the manga ending "Ending A" and the anime ending "Ending B"

It's not a crime thriller?

Dunno about crime but it's a thriller.

I can tell this was written by a woman

You guys cannot be that desperate for ntr content you want to get cucked by a literal fag

These are her chain smoker's yellowed teeth btw.
Same white levels as the white tobacco paper and white china plate.

wm.png - 1920x1080, 1.76M

Fags don't kiss women, anon. Letting other men kiss your woman is literal cuckoldry.

Live action is ending C

Because it's not an English word. The actual pronunciation in Cantonese is even more different. I'm not even sure where the transcription Kowloon came from.

or Nine Dragons

Nine dragons is the literal translation
Gou Long is the pronunciation. Kowloon is the British butchering.

Hong Kong fag here

How did the British get Kowloon?

each of them is different generated Kowloon in different rebirth cycles/timelines

I kneel, yoko taro...

I am looking for the three blades

kuron is probably closer to the ancient chinese pronunciation

they do it to start shit like the fags they are

cucked by a fag

Hard

the art reminds me of that age gap romance with the old guy boss I forgot

After the Rain, same mangaka.

I'm just 23, can i watch this grandparent's romance?

Everyone and their mother wanted the boss to fuck the jk

Author changed the ending because of decency laws

I hate this timeline

oh yea that shit was garbage

How come HK is so comfy? was watching chunking express and the story with the girl sneaking into the guy's apartment and changing things subtly made me feel like I'd lost a game I couldn't even play
Same with fallen angels

Kowloon is getting an anime original ending right?

As long as you're okay with a little bit of cuckoldry

three Kowloon Generic Romance threads at the same time

Was this anime expected to be this popular on Anon Babble?

wait really? sauce plz
stop baiting, fag

Nope, this is a surprising development.

bait

The state of the pathetic cucks lmao

Should you still call a 32-year-old woman a girl?

Yes. Any good shoujo, aka, apothecary Diaries, tends to be very popular on Anon Babble.

not just that, the FEMALE mangaka is such a spiteful insectoid bitch that she went out of her way to spite her male readers by including overtly homosexual men in what was supposed to be a mystery drama romance for absolutely no reason

decency laws

pretty sure she went out of her way to be a massive misandrist and call her male audience "pigs" for wanting the middle aged to even consider the possibility the chance to smash the young girl in love with him
the threads at the time had some sauce on this but it's been so long i gave up tracking

Yes, we love NTR here

Everything I read about this manga just makes it look worse.

Based horny spiteful woman.

The anime will have a different storyline.

do they eat pagpag in kulon?

I don't see the fags and netorare shit going anywhere.

hopefully youre right, the anime studio changed Koi wa Ameagari heavily which probably turned her even more into a spiteful feminist bitch
in the manga she makes HER cut ties completely while HE ends up being the one in love with the almost legal hottie, defeated
in the anime there's a hint of "let's meet when i'm a bit older" vibe from HER while HE is the one looking forward to the future and optimistic about life
i fucking hate her so much im so happy the Japanese gods have give her such a shit time with every manga shes made

holy fucking shit, we get it, you hate the author and everything she makes
shut the fuck up and fuck off already

yes yes we know shitposterkun, its ok heres your (You)

Holy moly, this anime is super outsourced. I know from the manga that the story isn't terrible, although I ultimately dropped it, but this animation is atrocious.

found the expired roastie

Apothecary Diaries is already massively popular, far more than Kowloon Generic Romance. Its popularity on Anon Babble doesn't sufficiently reflect how big it really is.

this is a seinen manga

Yet both her mangas have been highly successful, and Kowloon looks like it's going to be the best show this season, netting her more money.

At least she's not hacka

Thank you, that's doesn't make you less of a literal cuck though

Josei
only women read this rapey slop

i think you're needed in the DanDanDan general to shit up with retarded ntr posting

this is published in a seinen magazine

The studio that animated it is like 90% chinese.

It's kinda your fault for reading cuckshit made by a bitter feminist.

these guys have been shitting up the threads for this manga for years now

That was great. Anyone else get a Haruki Murakami vibe? 1Q84 in particular.

how would i know i was reading feminist propaganda when i stumbled upon the anime and its beautiful ending by Aimer? youtube.com/watch?v=A3UJMHp7Q-E
Imagine my surprise when i went to check the manga and get hit with the ending over there

Okay but why did you check the other manga by her?
Why didn't you drop it after the first red flags like the fag or the ntr?

Yet both her mangas have been highly successful

After the Rain clearly got axed

Why didn't you drop it after the first red flags like the fag or the ntr?

those happen in the span of at most 2 chapters
i just started reading it today after watching the anime and getting baited
i literally didnt know it was her until it clicked, i obviously dropped it an hour later
i'm just here to deliver balance to the world by exposing her, i live to pursue bitter feminists

Holy fuck what's wrong with NTR retards? Are they still mindbroken from the fucking Fatass in DitF losing to the sadboy?

you need a more productive life. Just saying

I dropped it too for said reasons but you should get better life objectives.

now I know why Mushoku Tensei is so popular

I caught upto the manga and this whole premise still makes my head hurt.

I wish it was just a chill OL romance ib kowloon.

What is DitF?
I don't read ntr (reason why I dropped this manga)

its fine bros, i remain happy this way
"productive" in society is gonna do a 180 very soon either way, i recommend you find your niche

True enough, the future looks pretty uncertain.

you are a retarded fucking troll, fuck off and kill yourself

manga aimed at women

have pretty boys

SHE IS SPITEFUL TO THE MALE READERS REEEEEE

where is that post about making a story for women and the one with buff dudes drew faggots to its audience while the one with femboys drew actual women to its audience?
Because you sound like a faggot

Just follow the chart
Short Hair + Big Titties > Long Hair + Anything > Shit > Short Hair

I prefer ujung kowloon

That was amazing. I love the smug grin he gives before grabbing her and pulling her in for the kiss. The positioning of his hands on her head and neck while holding her is perfect. Her muffled squeals and whimpers during the kiss and the way she tries to pull away but can't because he's stronger than her. Simply exquisite. I especially love that when she tried to pull away, he pulled her in even harder causing her to lose her balance and fall on top of him so she can only helplessly kick her feet.

heh, i know a smart anon when i meet one
i wish you good fortune in the wars to come

doesn't know Darling in the Franxx

God damn, Alphies are already posting on Anon Babble?

2018 was 7 years ago
what the fuck...

I watched it back in 2018 anon. Everyone forgot about it a month later, how am I supposed to remember the initials?

because the rest of us have a brain that can store memories. Did your brain explode when l337 was being posted on april fool's?

stop having so little of a life that a non-official abbreviation of an anime from a decade ago nobody cares about is such a high priority for you to remember

I prefer to use my brain for more productive stuff than to remember bad anime. Neets like you wouldn't understand.

admits defeat

I accept both your concessions.

I want to eat her

Kujirai looks so delicious doesn't she? Her figure is perfect.

This is why isn't worth it to argue with low IQ retards like you.

I prefer to use my brain for more productive stuff

Like cuckposting on Anon Babble because you want to make the board a worse place?

I honestly enjoyed After The Rain. The Fem MC wasn't clearly going to stay with him because he didn't liked her. What i didn't like was how 99% of set-up pairings didn't happen except for the last minute pairing with the girl of short hair

But posting about this manga is cuckposting tho
Better to keep it contained here

The track brown? Is this what you're talking about? I honestly don't remember at all.

Not an argument

I accept your concession
