What is the best/funniest/strange/etc. translator note you've seen a scanlator add?
To start off:
A character said "A lightning attack from six o'clock" - the translator added a note saying "referring to the direction, not the time".

Not exactly strange, but I highly commend Kumar Sivusabramanian's in-depth translator notes at the back of DH editions of Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service and Mail.
I liked the lengthy TL-notes on the earlier chapters/volumes of Unbalancex2 from kmts. Since I didn't really know much about Korean culture it was nice to get those little snippets of information.

Hmmm....the only one I can even think of atm was in Eyeshield 21 when there was a tornado it explained what a tornado was. I'm assuming that's because they don't have tornados in Japan, right?

I found those quite informative too, surprised my Korean friend once with my bits of knowledge.
I think the funniest one was in Death note, when the translator bashes Japanese culture calling it ignorant and childish because they spelled "Zack" like this:"Zak" 😲

I don't remember the manga's title...
the main guy, a junior high student, pretends he is a virgin to hook a 20something girl (if I'm not mistaken)
then, at the end the guy says: I grew up overseas so I did it when I'm 12
the note: "it's not true. In what part of the US a 12 year old guy loses his virginity?" 🤣
Help! I'm looking for... manga with dangerous guys [url]http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=39874&page=1#post594033[/url]

Answer #2: In ghetto sex land. Its worth it. all the way. Srsly
the funniest one ive seen was in kurohime. a friend did me a favor a while back and translated volume 5 for me, and at the end, when
Zero is in the water, and he reaches out to push the boat with his nothing-but-bones-hand, he said "SUPER SAIYAN ZERO!!!!" in the margin.
I laughed so hard i came. srsly.
