Reminiscent of the female leads in Chungking Express and Fallen Angels, Su Li - zhen (unbeknownst to Chow) visits his apartment in Singapore and fetishes over his belongings, lying on the bed and taking a solitary drag from one of his cigarettes.
There's also a certain wistful, melancholic atmosphere to everything,
reminiscent a tiny bit
of sports manga master Mitsuru Adachi, and while Kaito lacks the older artist's sure cartooning hand he makes up for it in these odd studies
of clashing cartoon visual types, as well as the strange energy that tends to erupt in his many emphatic closeups
of one
of the
female leads.
