Introduction

In a fantasy time long ago, when the yen was the strongest currency in the world, there was a Japanese city that immigrants called "Yen Town". The Japanese resented the name and discriminated against the immigrants, calling them "Yen Thieves". This is a story about foreign "Yen Thieves" who believe the Japanese yen will help their dreams come true. So they come to the city to fulfill their dreams.
