Here's a quite early review about what could be a pretty solid delinquent manga in the future.

Right from the start you obviously notice the similarities with tokyo revengers but it's not a problem at all, even though it has the same themes, it explores them really differently.
With still only 28 chapters read we can already feel where it's headed and it's great, we're not lost in an overly complex setting or anything, it's laid-back so you just have to go with the story and everything flows perfectly.

The art is great, not the best you will ever see but definitely pleasing, the designs of each character, ... even the less important ones, are significant enough to not feel lost in scenes where a lot of things are happening.

I'm really eager to see what will be the future of this manga as I think it can become quite something.

Giving it a 10 might be a lot. But well, I really liked the whole anime so...

First, I knew about this anime thanks to those "city pop playlist" type of youtube video with anime footage and all, and damn it looked good for an 87 anime, I mean the colors were vibrant and the designs were appealing !

I really like romcom mangas/animes, so when I learned it was one of the first and even said to be the beginning of this genre, I sure wanted to watch it.
So here am I, watching the first episode of what would be one of my favorites. I can't ... really describe what I feel when I think about all its episodes. At the time of writing this I'm 18 and still, I feel intense nostalgia about the 80's, it's quite famous, almost feeling melancholia for an era you never knew. Well if nostalgia is the definition then KOR is the exemple.

You feel at ease but still adventurous while watching this anime, adventurous as if you just spent your vacations in the 80's japan and also adventurous as if you roam inside the feelings a human can feel.
To be honest, the story isn't particularly complex, not at all in fact. The episodes can even be watched separatly for most of them, your typical 80's and 90's series.
You still feel an evolution on all points, the story is really simple but really well built.

You get attached to the characters, to the locations, to the musics, to the jokes.

If you got a thing for older animes and romcoms, I'm begging you, give it a try and tell me what you think about it (don't forget the OVA and movies !!!)

I really like writting these I should do it more.
