257. Why Kenichi Might Be My Ideal Man—J...

Sayuri Saying
About this episode

Could Kenichi from Around 40 Man’s Isekai Online Shopping (2025) be my ideal man? In this episode, I introduce Japanese words that go beyond the usual やさしい (kind) and 頭がいい (smart)! Learn how to describe personality and abilities with words like 適応力 (adaptability), 地頭がいい (quick-witted), 利他的 (selfless), and more. If you love anime and want to expand your vocab naturally, this episode is for you!

ケンイチさんを嫌いな人がいますか?みんなケンイチさんが大好きです!
