Ro-ma-n?
(X-posted to japanophile)
This is one for you language/pop culture fans. See, I downloaded the legendary theme of Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers to you Americans ;)), and a rather interesting term popped up:
Tatakau otoko moeru roman
...Roman?
I've heard the term before, translated as romance, but I've also heard it's got something to do with the Essence that is Man. Anyone got other takes on this?
