🧵 1/n

Watching "The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World" or アラフォー男の異世界通販生活

(Arafō Otoko no Isekai Tsūhan Seikatsu)

And it occurs to me, around the 10 minute mark in episode 3, that getting clothespin springs and having local carpenters form the wood parts would be an interesting comparison with how the MC is getting them now.

Okay, so, the exchange rate is as such:

1 Copper Piece [CP] = ¥1000 = $6.44 USD

{ I don't know how the MC orders, is it a minimum order for clothespins?

So a pack of 500 has a unit price of $0.05998, or ~6¢. }

The monetary system is then:

1 Small Square Silver Piece [sP] = 5 CP

1 Silver Piece [SP] = 10 sP = 50 CP

1 Gold Piece [GP] = 4 SP = 40sP = 200 CP

🧵 4/n I am going to try the licensed translation to see if the monetary system is different.

{ Searching for "The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World" && Monetary || System didn't yield many relevant results}

1 SP = ¥50,000 { he says 五まん (Go Man) which is 50,000 [12:02_Ep1]

Bag of pepper = 2 SP, 1sP. 3CP = 108 CP = ¥108,000 = $695.52 USD.

The bag of peppercorns is roughly fist sized.

[08:36-Ep1]

It is finally here! The monetary system that I have longed for!

1 CP = ¥1025

1sP = ¥5008 = 4.89 CP

1 SP = ¥50114 = 48.89 CP

So taking the clothespin price of 2 CP for 5 clips. It is simple to work out the math.

The unit price is then $2.58 USD, or roughly a 4200% mark up.

🧵 5/n

It was in Episode 1 at 14:27

Unit price is ~¥17.

15:09 1 CP / 5 pins.

So a mark up of %1100

So if is 20 CP for 100 clips, the 4 sP makes sense.

n = 5, for now, muahahahahha.....Maths
