It's not about the ear cleaning specifically, it's about the intimacy and trust involved.I don't get why the Japanese are so fond of mimikaki. The last time that I went to the doctor to have my earwax removed, it was so uncomfortable and unnerving that all the hairs in my body were standing for the whole duration of the procedure. Maybe it depends on the skill of the person, the tool used to do the job, the insertion depth, or perhaps the volume of earwax involved.
I stepped away for several reasons, but seeing that no one picked this up after 2 months, I decided to pick this up again and will probably try to catch up to the raws, unless someone else wants to take over the translation of this manga that is (please? pretty please? anyone?)Thanks for the chapter, but man, 2 months for like 3 page omake
I think one reason is that most east Asians have the dry earwax gene so it is easier to remove the dry earwax than wet earwax. I think this also shows up when you see a character sticking their pinky in their ear and then blowing off the earwax on it.I don't get why the Japanese are so fond of mimikaki.

I don't know how the real thing feels (and probably never will since I trust doctors who say I shouldn't insert them nilly willy and my hearing already isn't that good), but the ASMR version of them is usually pretty nice. Here's a short example, though kinda goofy.I don't get why the Japanese are so fond of mimikaki.

Asians generally have dry earwax that is fairly comfortable to remove, so the process is roughly as gentle as combing straight hair. But guys tend to have short hair, so this is probably the most common physically intimate interaction that involves love and care.I don't know how the real thing feels (and probably never will since I trust doctors who say I shouldn't insert them nilly willy and my hearing already isn't that good), but the ASMR version of them is usually pretty nice.

If guys more commonly had long hair, hair-combing would likely be much more popular and show up in manga and other media though.
As someone from SEA i like when someone removing my earwax (especially when they give lap pillow too), and yeah im feel plesure too.I don't get why the Japanese are so fond of mimikaki.

In my case, it got sucked out. Not wholly pleasant, but was better than using tools.I don't get why the Japanese are so fond of mimikaki.
