The Reincarnated Inferior Magic Swordsman - Vol. 1 Ch. 9 - The City of Finris

[vessalius]

Once again we get the overdone "so this is worth x amount of yen!!" trope in which a character references some arbitrary common product to compare the value of the currencies.

wow

This guy just entered the town with his bloodshirt equipped and nobody bats an eye on him.

Jesus I can imagine the smell from a mile away

 

[CalamityCallout]

Well this is certainly.. a translation.

 

[Qwertzer]

@CalamityCallout Seems fine to me. I have yet to see you dips complaining about a MTL, but proper english seems like a no-go

 

[0luk]

[Laxius]

[thegoatrider]

Thanks for the pickup

 

[wordsoup]

Hey translator, I appreciate you. I don't know how people can complain about free work, especially when it results in more manga :). Anyways, I had fun reading it.

 

[Wremise]

[ViniV]

I think it's been said before but:
There's absolutely no point in converting the price of something from their currency to yours if you're using their currency! None!
To get a better understand? Nope, that's just pointless mental exercise.

If I understand that 500 yen means I can buy an item for 500 yen.....there's no need for me to mentally convert that into dollars or pounds!
If I trying to buy an item that cost 500 yen and I'm using dollars THEN I'll need to know conversion. (Which is $4.80-90 something, been awhile since I used it)
I to this day don't get why authors feel the need to add in that pointless information.

It's pretty normal comparing to your known currency. It's just that yens mean nothing at all to us, so not japanese readers it sucks. I always skip ahead anything related to currency in all mangas. I remember pretty heavily everything being compared to previous currency values when we changed to euros. For years.

 

[versub]

I agree comparing isekai money to yen is dumb when it's not exchangeable.
You just need to know the cost of living + how much money you can make/get.

The prices of stuff fluctuates depending on few factors anyway.
It's not like oh this stuff is fixed x yen in japan or stuff.

Vendors and meat skewers always seem to be the go to in medieval European isekai Manga. They're pretty much non-existent in western fantasy depictions. If meat is for sale, it's usually dried and for making a meal later, not to eat while enjoying what looks like a Matsuri. It's not a nitpick, I'm just taking note on the eastern depiction of western fantasy. My guess is that they're using their only frame of reference for outdoor, temporary stalls and choose something that is fairly not culturally specific or modern.
