..... it's RANDOM, i've entered ap2 several time and this what they give me :
Washi Minase (.... rating:0)
Seiichi Sanjo (not bad)
Kaemon Genji (hell no!)
Kana Asukai (more like a girl name...)
Yoshifumi Sasaki (it's ok with that Yoshifumi)
man... what should i do?

but it's a good reference i must say!

Use japanese names if your story revolves around a japanese person/enviroment. And if you have a hard time thinking up names, you'll have a harder time thinking up the Japanese background culture.

If you're going to use english names....they're ok...I prefer English, French and other European names Very Happy

tell us the idea of your manga. I have failed on my own XP
