How it's used

Depending on the context, this word carries two distinct meanings. It can describe someone who is deeply sensitive and prone to strong emotions, or it can be a derogatory label for someone who is unfaithful and flirts with multiple partners. When used to describe a man who is a serial romantic, it is often paired with 種子 to emphasize his reputation.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to mean simply romantic or affectionate in a positive, stable sense, as it often implies a lack of emotional control or a tendency toward infidelity.
