Kowloon Generic Romance Episode 5: Kudo Confesses To Killing ‘Reiko’; Recap, Release Date, Where To Watch And More

The last Kowloon Generic Romance episode saw Kudo dream of Kujirai B revealing that they work in a second Kowloon Walled City, which was illegally rebuilt after the original’s 1994 demolition. Reiko then wakes up in his apartment. Miyuki and Gwen visit the city, noticing anomalies like outdated eyedrops being rebranded and Reiko’s beauty mark.

Yaomay tells Reiko about the Zirconian Project involving clones, showing her zirconian ring as encouragement. At a party, Yaomay suggests Reiko move. Later, Kudo confesses to Reiko that he killed ‘Kujirai Reiko,’ leaving her shocked and speechless.

Kudo’s words—“I killed Kujirai Reiko"—will continue haunting Reiko in Kowloon Generic Romance Episode 5, pushing her to uncover the truth about Kujirai B’s life. However, Yo Mei will grow frustrated with Reiko’s fixation on the past.

A revival screening of the film Butterfly Dream will draw them to a Kowloon theater, where Reiko will be captivated by the lead actress. Seeing her reaction, Yo Mei will distance herself, overwhelmed by memories of a stolen identity and her own forgotten past. Though Reiko cannot relate to that loss, she will hurry to Yo Mei’s side.
