Credit where due
These subtitles are derived from the Vibius edit, which is in turn based on the transcription work of fans at D-Addicts and the original Dorama Fansubbing translation. All of these people deserve a great deal of praise for making Love Generation accessible to the English-speaking world.
What's different about the American Love edit?
I tightened up the timing and edited the dialog so it sounds more natural to an American ear. I also did a fair bit of re-writing in order to maintain coherence within and between scenes. And finally, I did my best to restore some humor and emotional depth where it had been lost in translation.

Drop me a line if you enjoyed my work or have ideas for improving the subs. I also want to hear from you if you understand Japanese and catch me straying too far from the script ;-)
