Ichiba Kurogane Wants to Earn Money

Finished

市場クロガネは稼ぎたい

Ichiba Kurogane, the scion of a wealthy business family, rejects a life of inherited privilege. Determined to prove his own worth, he enrolls at Gakuenzono Academy, a unique institution where a student's academic standing is measured solely by their ability to earn money. All transactions on campus are conducted in a special school currency, and outside wealth is strictly forbidden.

Kurogane possesses a keen eye for identifying individuals with high earning potential. He soon allies himself with Naruko Hana, a talented cook struggling to save her dilapidated and unpopular Japanese cuisine club from closure. Together, they aim to transform her culinary skills into a profitable venture.

However, Kurogane's journey is immediately jeopardized when a simple mistake—bringing his personal wallet to school—results in a catastrophic rule violation. The merciless student council president, Asamatsuri Hagane, slaps him with an astronomical fine of one billion school-yen. To avoid expulsion, Kurogane must now find a way to pay a crushing monthly installment while simultaneously pursuing his own financial ambitions.
