THE Smell of Nerds

The other day, a huge event for anime, which is called Comiket, was held in Japan.


This is in the news;
After the event, since many anime nerds got on a train all together at once,
a lot of other passengers tweeted;

"I feel like throwing up"
"This is an unbearable foul smell"
"Some girls are covering their mouth and nose with their handkerchieves."


According to the news, residents around the convention site complain of a foul smell every year.
When I heard this news, I was skeptical because I thought that people wouldn't smell so bad
even though they stayed up all night waiting in a line for the event.

This is no offence, but I found out this is true when I went to a cafe.

When a guy looking obviously like a nerd sat next to me,
I smelled dried milk from him as if he took a shower with milk.
Now, I'm writing this entry while being surrounded by this smell.

He is focusing on watching an anime now.
When he started watching it, his headset was not connected to his laptop and
I heard a distinctive girl's voice like she was from an anime.

Our seats are not close to each other, but
when the wind comes from his side, I feel awful.
I know that nerds are busy in playing games and
don't have time to take a bath and sleep,
but I really wish they would take a bath before going out!

I would understand if it was a sweaty smell,
but I wonder why he smells like dried milk...
Disgusting!!
