@fiddletriks It says "Kendama Otaku"
Quoteotaku

noun
(in Japan) a young person who is obsessed with computers or particular aspects of popular culture to the detriment of their social skills.
If you don't want to BUY MY BOOKS 😉, then why not ask your local library to order them in, and read them for free? That would help too. Cheers!
