Good morning, Kujirai!
It is said that Generic Terra is capable of backing up the memories of all human beings,
making even eternal youth and immortality a reality.
Using advanced technology, with a focus on safety, its construction continues today.
In this market, the Generic Terra merchandise is flying off the shelf!
The T-shirts with Gene Terra, the mascot, are the most popular.
This government-funded project is drawing attention from other nations.
You could say that the story of Generic Terra is like a romance for all humankind.
The rumors say the project is secretly run by the private sector, right?
Which company was it again?
Hebinuma Pharmaceutical, wasn't it?

Good morning.
Morning, Kujirai-kun.
You're later than usual, aren't you?
You'd better clock in soon, or you'll be late like you-know-who.
Yes...
Kujirai!
Out of my way!
Kudo
Kujirai
That was close.
Late
Kudo-san, here's the new listings for today.
Oh, thanks.
What is it?
I didn't get to clock in on time.
I see.
So I was late.
This spot opened up again.
The interior must need work.
I think cutting in line is childish.
Tung Tau Village Tower
I was about to—
All right, fine!
I'll buy you lunch, then.
But you know, Kudo-kun.
The Second Kowloon isn't really a comfortable place to live,
and yet the number of residents doesn't decline.
Maybe they don't have anywhere else to go?
I love Kowloon as it is, though.
What's this place?
It opened last week.
I saw it on a flyer and wanted to check it out.
Everything looks good.
Let's go to the usual spot.
What?
Tintin Eatery
Thanks for waiting!
I'm digging i... Huh?
What do you want?
I wanted to eat at the other place.
You idiot!
Don't you feel the rightness in this plump boiled dumpling in golden broth?!
You listening to me?
My glasses' prescription has been off all day.
Huh? Maybe your vision's gotten worse?
Wait a minute!
Are those Hebinuma Pharmaceutical eyedrops?!
Huh? Yes, they are.
Eyedrops
The son recently took over the company, and I just can't trust them now.
You know that dude?
Hebinuma Beauty Center From cradle to grave, we're with you every step of the way
The sketchy director of the Hebinuma Beauty Center!
Anyhow, all you need for eye strain is to massage some pressure points!
Let me! I'll do it for you!
N-No, thank you!
I know you're just going to press with brute strength.
And even though we are both hominids,
I'd rather not be lumped together with a gorilla like you.
Stop looking guilty while clearly dissing me!
Here's your water spinach. Thanks for waiting!
By the way, about Room 205 in Sai Joeng Tower...
Yeah?
It's had no tenant for six months now.
It gets the afternoon sun on full blast with no AC.
Only an oddball would want to live there.
The interior's pretty old too.
If the walls were painted fresh, it might look better.
You fixed the door of the apartment on Naam Caang Street, didn't you?
Oh, that.
Everything is old in Kowloon, and the landlords would be unhappy
if we called the maintenance guy over every single flaw.
But... I want the tenants to be comfortable.
We've still got some time left.
Shall we go get tea or something?
Only if you want to, that is.
Nah, you should go to an optometrist.
Sucks to have the wrong prescription, right?
You silly goose.
We'll go for tea some other time.
Twenty-twenty?
Yes. I had a check-up, and both of my eyes can see better now.
Oh wow, that's amazing!
You look nicer without glasses.
Right, Kudo-kun?
I prefer the glasses.
We'll be punished for building things like that.
Are you against Generic Terra?
Obviously!
They're using our tax money to make a fake Earth.
Can I have a light?
I wonder how long that place will stay open.
What place?
The eatery I wanted to try out for lunch.
For some reason, new stores close really quickly in Kowloon.
Kowloon is supposed to be a nostalgic place.
A flickering streetlight.
A moldy back alley.
Noisy neighbors.
Do they not feel terribly nostalgic?
I think this feeling is the same as being in love.
It's the same with the residents here.
Everyone's in love with Kowloon.
This nostalgic Kowloon.
That's why Kowloon doesn't change.
It shouldn't.
We don't need anything new here.
I don't really feel nostalgia in this place.
'Kay.
Oh, but I think I feel it with you sometimes...
A sense of nostalgia.
Oh, I didn't mean that a weird way.
Kujirai.
You've got crow's feet.

Oh?
I thought you didn't need glasses anymore.
They're fake.
I just couldn't get used to my face without glasses,
so I thought I'd ease in.
Wait a minute.
Are you hiding your crow's feet with glasses?
Stop fighting a losing battle, you 32-year-old.
Kudo-san, your cuff is dirty.
Oh, this.
It's my quirk.
I just have to touch eights.

When you're walking around Kowloon, you see numbers on the walls, right?
West City Road No. 18
I can't help touching them.
It's like my personal rule.
How much more work do you have?
I think I'll keep going a bit longer.
You can go ahead and clock out.
Hurry up and get ready.
Let's go eat.
Where are we going?
Our usual spot is the other way.
Sunset Avenue
Kujirai.
Let me teach you...
what makes Kowloon Kowloon.
I can't eat any more.
C'mon, you're giving up already?
All right, I guess this will be our last stop.

Welcome...
Kudo-san, it's been a while!
'Sup?
He's a regular here?
What can I get you?
Iced coffee, and... What do you want?
Oh, I'll have the same.
Thank you for waiting.
And this is on the house.
This year's watermelon is nice and sweet.
Didn't you say you couldn't eat any more?
Watermelon's mostly water, so it's practically a drink.
That's convenient.
I just felt...
something nostalgic again.
Kudo-san, guess what!
It tastes good to smoke after eating some watermelon.
Y-You think that's weird?
No, I remembered there was someone else who said the same thing.
Is that so?
I've never heard anyone else say that.
I like a little quirk like that.
Finding familiar quirks can make you happy,
and it helps you remember
the person with that quirk.
Please come again.
I will. Thank you for the watermelon.
I'm happy that Kudo-san brought his girlfriend again.
O-Oh, I'm not...
C'mon, hurry up!
That waiter thought I was your girlfriend.
Don't you have to correct him?
Won't it be awkward when you go back with your real girlfriend?
Not something you need to worry about.
Kujirai.
A souvenir for today.
Keep it at your place.
It helps you remember the person with that quirk.
This is the Kowloon Environment Management Center.
A photochemical smog warning has been issued, as well as a heat and high humidity advisory.

What's gotten into you?
I want the tenant to be comfortable.
It's a secondhand line from certain someone.
Hold on a sec!
Am I rubbing off on you or something?
Don't get cocky.
This wall is the last one, right?
I am in love with this man.
I thought that teahouse was around here...

Hey, Kudo-san.
Please don't sleep in here.
What if a customer shows up?
Kudo-san. Kudo-san!
Listen up, Kudo-kun!
You shouldn't be sleeping here!
Kudo-kun, wake up!
Kudo-kun!
My bad. Wrong person.
Man, I'm hungry!
I didn't get to have lunch.
Kujirai, what did you have?
M-Minced pork over rice.
Man, that sounds good!
I want some of that. I'll go grab some.
You can clock out if you want.
I'm hung up on it, and he isn't.
I feel silly.
Why is he so messy?
He even left his drawer open...
I just know she's next to him in the photo...
The woman he pulled in with those strong arms and kissed gently.
The woman with the same quirk as me.

Welcom—
Oh, hello.
One iced coffee.
Sure.
I couldn't find this place when I was looking for it, yet...
That photo.
We had fun that day, didn't we?
D-Do you know this?
Do I know it?
It's a photo I took right here.
To celebrate your engagement with Kudo-san.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Kudo-san.
Who was it
that you kissed?
