The fifth episode of the TV anime "Kowloon Generic Romance," based on the manga by Mayuzuki Jun that is currently being serialized in "Weekly Young Jump" (Shueisha), will be broadcast on TV Tokyo and other channels on May 3rd.
Unable to forget Kudo's words, "I killed Kujirai Reiko," Reiko tries to find out more about "Kujirai B's" past and who he is, but Yang Ming is dissatisfied with Reiko. Meanwhile, an old film, "Butterfly Dream," is shown again at a cinema in Kowloon. As Reiko becomes excited by the beauty of the lead actress, Yang Ming shows an uncharacteristic expression and distances himself from her. Confronted with his own past, Yang Ming loses sight of his present self. With no past, Reiko does not understand the feeling of having her life taken away from her, but she still rushes to Yang Ming.
