Have you all heard of Wota(otaku) yougo(用語) which are basically almost only used by wotaku people in Japan.

There are tons of those and usage varies depending on what types of wotaku/otaku you are(they are). I picked up some and wanted to share with you too! Only 10 of those (maybe when I have a chance, I may increase this list later/future etc) :))

1. Natsukomi (summer komi)

Comic market(Comiket) that is held in summer. Natsu(夏)means summer and komi comes from comic. Komike (abbreviation of Comic Market which is the biggest anime/manga festival in the world held in Japan 2 times a year at Tokyo Bigsite(bikusa)!! If you happen to be in Japan around that time, August 15th or the end of year (December). There other one is called Fuyukomi btw.
