I feel like we're on two different wavelengths here. It was stupid of me to localize it to dollars. Is that what you wanted to hear? I'm so confused.
It's alright, don't worry about him.
But yeah, personally I always grimace when I see currency replaced in translation. A little tacky as for me.
Anyways, thank you for the translation, good sir. Looks like our boy is slowly becoming a man

I don't think it's stupid, it adds context. Not everyone knows or cares about the exchange rates and being told X00 yen doesn't says much to them.
It is true, however, than those scans who include conversions do it on the page borders and include several of the most used currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, NOK (this one as a joke)...

The only problem with this is we gotta wait another month to get more!

Glad to see them hang out and the MC actually picking out something that'll suit her, with his tolerance wonder how he survives the beach tho lol

I meant to say I was stupid. Of course, this rate is the exchange rate in Japan or the United States. Who else is going to exchange dollars for yen or vice versa?

I don't think it was stupid, the dollar is a very well known currency around the english speaking world (this manga is translated to english after all).

I get where you came from. 1 dollar to 100 yen gives a good feel for what its worth and the spending power 500 has in japan, though the yen has dropped in value.

That said, when in doubt just leave it at default

I demand all currency be expressed in Icelandic krona. This is non negotiable.

Daiki came damn close to ruining it through overthinking. The maxim 'less is more' applies perfectly here. There's an elegance to simplicity and most of the time the obvious choice is the right one.

That's a scary dead eye look on wakaba's face at the end. I felt like she was moments away from saying 'give usss the preciouss'.

Wasn't the meme originally Norwegian Krone?
