That's an understatement - Makoto has nothing on his daddy. All the games made by Overflow (The company that created School Days) are connected; even though they take place in different towns and cities, they're all part of the same meta-universe. Makoto's father, a man named Tomaru Sawagoe, is present in every Overflow game and has had relationships with some of the cast members from every game. He tends to have brief flings with women, only to leave them behind whenever he gets bored to move on to some new conquest (Makoto is a number of years older than his younger sister, so Tomaru must have been with Moeka Itou longer than most of his other girlfriends). Makoto might have been unfaithful, but he's far more human than his father; the girls he messes around with always seduce him in the first place, he does feel guilt over what he's doing, and in the end he tries to clean up his act and do right. Makoto's father, on the other hand, has played around with women his entire life and doesn't feel remorse about abandoning his girlfriends whenever he tires of them. He's also gotten little girls pregnant (A 9 year old, don't know if it was rape or not), and also had children with some of his own illegitimate children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Here's a chart showcasing the various relationships through the games Overflow has made. It's very convoluted and hard to understand, so you probably shouldn't even try to figure it out completely, but I can at least tell from this chart that Tomaru's impregnated at
least twelve women, and that's despite being married the whole time (And, of course, he abandoned all those kids just like he did Makoto and his sister, Itaru). Yeah, Makoto's a much better person than his father. (Actually, come to think, Makoto's mom might not exactly be a saint either; Makoto's mother is an accomplice to infidelity, at least - Makoto and Itaru seem to be around six years apart, so she might have helped Tomaru have an affair for that length of time.)
