The topic of Doma meaning often changes 相手 to play the role of 子供の恋愛
This is not adult romance, I will talk more about what 子供の恋愛 is.
Analysis of the theory about it 🧵
「恋」(koi) does not simply mean “love” but also implies a deep connection, a relationship.
When combined with 「子供」(kodomo), the「子供の恋愛」implies a kind of innocent, pure feeling, not yet or not affected by the complicated desires of adults.
The term 子供の恋愛 is usually positive or neutral in Japanese
Now we will talk about Doma's activities when playing the role of 子供の恋愛
So why does he change "相手" so often?
The answer is because it is a part in 子供の恋愛
子供の恋愛 is not like adult romance
Doma's constant changing of the objects of his "relationships" is a core characteristic of 子供の恋愛, not a womanizing or a lack of seriousness.
Children's changing objects of interest is a natural part of their exploration of the emotional world
Children, when they first come into contact with the emotional world, often experience a range of strong but also very volatile emotions. The initial attraction can be intense, but it can also quickly give way to a new interest, a different sense of curiosity.
This does not come from bad intentions or deliberate carelessness, but is the nature of emotional development at this age, a natural and inevitable process of development.
In love like a child, there is often a want for Perfection and Easy "Breaking Up", Uncertainty,Insecurity and Deadlock
Children tend to look for an ideal, someone who is perfect . They believe in an ideal, someone who is good in everything and has no flaws.
When flaws are discovered or when something new appears, they can easily let go of the current relationship.
Breaking up or changing for children is often not as personal or deeply hurtful as it is for adults, but rather a way to continue exploring and finding what is more suitable for them.
This is a natural adaptive mechanism for them to learn and grow, a process of trial and error to learn about the nature of bonding.
and there is also the childish ego that can occur in "子供の恋愛"
However, it is precisely that immaturity and naivety that makes 子供の恋愛 's unique character and beauty.
It allows love to be expressed in a pure, innocent, sincere and joyful way, unencumbered by adult calculations, doubts or complications.
It is a love that is not self-serving, not demanding, but simply a vibration, a pleasure and a desire to be with the person you love.
The combination of these two aspects creates an interesting balance.
Lack of experience - Leads to easy change of partners, idealization of the other person and difficulty in resolving conflicts.
Emotionally immature - Vulnerable, easily sulky and can have impulsive actions.
Developing ego - Can cause difficulty in understanding and sharing with the other person.
Innocent and natural - Love is not mixed with other motives, but simply true feelings.
Sincere - Dare to express feelings directly and without hesitation.
Playful - Love brings joy, excitement and memorable memories.
Also, we know that Doma's role as 子供の恋愛 is to be able to feel human emotions/forming humanity
As for why Doma wants to form a personality that is rich in emotions in this way?
This is easy to explain: 子供の恋愛 is a stage of emotional richness and emotional development.
For a child's love is the healthiest and most easily connected and integrated, it is also true because a child's love is essentially an innate need and attachment mechanism, helping to form the first bond with the world, to seek safety, love and a sense of acceptance.

Each "相手" that Doma interacts with is a unique "prototype", providing different perspectives and reactions. He carefully observes how they react to the initial attraction,how they express their feelings, how they deal with "breakups" or changes in their partner.
These interactions are a valuable source of data, helping him build a comprehensive picture of human psychology and emotions, including aspects that Doma had never known.
Repeating the experiment with different subjects was necessary so that he could test his hypotheses, eliminate random factors, and draw more reliable conclusions about the nature of love and human emotions.
In short, Doma - a person who seeks emotional truth through the subtle "子供の恋愛" Lens, refutes negative lenses and wants to heal himself, raise awareness of the value of purity and develop human emotions.
Another thing is that Vietnamese fandom is special when translating this "相手" into "bạn tình (sex partner)" while it is never translated like that in Japanese.
and certainly "相手" NEVER HAS ANY SEX OR DARK ELEMENTS
Okay, that's it for this post
sorry if it's sketchy and rambling <3
