At the risk of showing my influences, freeter has become a word I know the meaning of previously. One of the characters in the "Kaicho wa Maid-sama!" anime is described as a freeter, with the subtitle note explaining what it meant.
Hi.

I don’t understand what you mean.

Freeter has become a word you know the meaning of previously?
You mean “freeter” means “a person who works part-time”?
You’ve got to know that in some anime films?
Really!!
I didn’t imagine it.


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
