One’s assessment of Kowloon Generic Romance may come down to how you define “success” (pun intended). I find the glass to be well over half-full, but it seems a lot of manga readers strongly disagree. I get that – I’ve been there. Adapting an 11 volume (and counting – it’s still ongoing) manga into 13 …
Lazarus #13 — Happily Ever After
That definitely wasn’t yanked out of their ass. Impressions: Predictably terrible ending, though I’m kind of surprised by exactly how terrible it was.
