### 5/5 — Great for someone like me.

*2020-04-11*

So, I'm really into anime and manga, but I don't know any Japanese names. This really helped me write stories and draw some, and for such a small app it was a big help. I know that because it's a Japanese person who made it, they don't realise how big of a help this was.

### 5/5 — Very helpful for making anime OCs
