Yuriko Yamaguchi, who resembles Reiko Kujirai, has been cast as "Kujirai-B," according to the official Instagram account for the television anime adaptation of Jun Mayuzuki's Kowloon Generic Romance manga. This information was revealed on Saturday.
Plot of the story:
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.
Tomokazu Sugita portrays her coworker Hajime Kudō in the anime, while Haruka Shiraishi plays Kowloon-based real estate agent Reiko Kujirai.
