r/watamote

Unless I’m mistaken (which I don’t see how) Tomoko is directly invoking the stereotype that foreigners smell bad. Nemo corrects her on the specific character, but doesn’t bother to point out that not all hafu or gaijin have smelly armpits.

That sounds hella racist from a western perspective (especially considering that a person who is half-Japanese genetically can be fully Japanese culturally) , but to be fair, there’s actually some scientific basis for it.

When it comes to sweating and bo, east-Asian people seem to have won the genetic lottery. In Japan specifically, those with a genetic predisposition towards severe underarm odour are even considered to have a debilitating condition, and depending on the severity: may even be entitled to have their apocrine glands removed under the national health insurance scheme.

Add that to a culture obsessed with cleanliness and social etiquette- where bathing is literally seen as a recreational activity- and people with bad hygiene are going to stick out and be stigmatised even more than they are elsewhere. Granted, those of you who think you’re getting away with showering every three or four days are wrong anyway: just fyi.

Next chapter comes out on June 4th.

If I don't post it now, when will I ever have the chance?

Donde puedo ver watamote en español?😭😭

I finished the anime and OVA （though I hope season2 will be possible

And the I start to watching manga, it takes time to fit this style, I haven’t watched any manga for at least 2 years, and tomoko’s appearance has a big difference compared to what she looks like in anime

Btw it’s toooooo expensive in Bilibili manga….. it cost me about 30 dollars to buy the rest chapters
And the timeline seems quite disorganized
