A crossover promotional trailer (PV) linking the TV anime and upcoming live-action film adaptation of Kowloon Generic Romance has been released. The trailer was revealed following the broadcast of the anime’s final episode (Episode 13) on June 28. It was previously confirmed that the anime would be a complete adaptation of the ongoing manga.
The video begins with scenes from the anime, smoothly transitioning into footage from the live-action movie. It was also confirmed that actress Riho Yoshioka, who plays Reiko in the live-action version, appeared in the anime as the voice of the goldfish “Success.” This casting had not been publicly announced prior to the PV’s release.
The live-action film is scheduled for release in Japan on August 29, 2025. The second half of the trailer features mainly live-action scenes, showing more of Riho Yoshioka and Koshi Mizukami as Hajime. You can watch the new trailer below.
Kowloon Generic Romance is another work from Jun Mayuzuki, who is also known as the creator of After the Rain. He began the Kowloon Generic Romance manga in 2019. It is serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump magazine and currently has 11 released volumes. Volume 11 was released on April 17, 2025.
Yen Press licensed the manga in English, describing the story:
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…
