I started reading this because I hoped for some gentle fluff and romance involving hanging out with a gamer girl.
Instead I get a story about a boy learning how to be a better crossdresser.
I'm not disappointed.

I'm pretty sure that regardless of race the average person can distinguish between individuals using only scent whether they realize it or not (like @icekatze said), even between people they are around everyday. It's not some superhuman ability, and it's certainly not some mythical cultural phenomenon exclusive to glorious Nippon or racially exclusive to Asians in general.
@Meijin
Are you Indian? Who are "regular people" where you are because I genuinely can't believe that "[regular people] don't especially mind" if it's Indian BO specifically when that is definitely a special pungent odor. Arabian people are not much better with their own BO. Asians also have a pretty similar BO profile even though people try to perpetuate they have less BO or sweat less or whatever other nonsense. All races have a unique type of funk but some are more similar to others. If you happen to be Asian, a white person's BO probably stands out more to you since you're usually around people of a similar racial ancestry to yours on top of always being exposed to your own BO.
All of that being said body odor primarily comes from diet and eating habits, followed by genetics, race, and age (including things like oxidation) in that order.
That's why some body odors appear to correlate to race and why some are consistent across all races.
White people in general eat a shit-load of dairy, and dairy creates a very sour, sharp body odor over time. As an example, the French are known as stereotypically "stinky", and they just so happen to have a diet fairly high in cheese.
@SveNo
I'll give you slightly more generous body hair overall than maybe Asians, but that comes down to personal ancestry and genetics as well. Sticky earwax vs dry earwax is only half-true. Everyone's fresh-to-moderately-old earwax is wet/sticky.

SEAmonkey. Indians and Arabians have a funk to them but people in the region get seem to quickly get used to them and with them it's more like waves of smell instead of a punch like white people. East asians are especially light on smell that their clothes gave more of a smell than they did. Other SEAmonkeys vary a little between their origins but they also smell roughly the same. In my experience it's really white people that stand out with BO and I've never encountered that stoner/teen movie type gym locker moment where one dude tells another dude he reeks bad so I'm guessing even white people don't particularly care for each other's smells. Like back in school we obviously could tell when we were sweaty after PE but not to the point where we'd demand they douse themselves in body spray. I will say though that a couple of finnish dudes I hung out with in Uni either had impeccable hygeine or they didn't have much of a smell, almost East Asian level. Actually thinking about it, I've worked with french and russians before too but their smells never came to mind but the americans and the brits really don't do anyone any favors when they start to sweat. Heck, I've even had an indian colleague object to our CEO's body odor one morning after sharing a ride up the elevator with him so maybe it's more that whities and indians can't stand the smell of each other in why you doubt my comparison.

@Nep - autistic people often have odd senses. But there is no guarantee they'll actually be sharp or useful.
My hearing is rather sensitive, but my sense of smell is quite bad, to the point I suspect meaningful sense of smell is a conspiracy - no humans can actually smell worth a damn, but they keep lying to fit in. It's a propaganda campaign by deodorant makers.

@rkkn , To be honest, it became generic almost immediately. The premise/idea was a good one or not bad. A loner girl meets what she thinks is another girl online and becomes good friends only to meet IRL and it turns out they are a boy and a romcom ensue. Unfortunately, they drop the "gaming" aspect almost immediately only to have the most generic rom-com moments. Not to mention I ABSOLUTELY HATE the cliche of the overbearing father except this is borderline abuse because of the father threatening bodily harm to any boy who comes in contact with his daughter. And now the boy is cross-dressing against his will because her father is an asshole. Which is completely unfair to the boy and his daughter.
