WE ARE LOOKING FOR FRIENDS: NOGIKOI TRANSLATOR

Hello everyone! As we have started the Nogikoi Sub Project, we need more help to translate the Japanese subtitles.

To fasten the release of subbed Nogikoi, we are now looking for as much people as possible to translate the timed Japanese subs. Anyway, we are not looking for long-term translator for now.

Then, to spend some time during the Corona quarantine, I made a tool (I called it Nogikoi SubTool) that is able to extract a Japanese subtitle automatically from a Nogikoi video in JUST FIVE MINUTES!
