I'm sure everyone has seen those strange translation of stuff in English from China/Japan, though I thought we've moved out of the age of having AYB-like translations. Well I was wrong. Last month's translation for New Prince of Tennis came out and one of the guys has a tendency to say something roughly like: "Totally awesome!" after scoring a point. Well this month the translation has him saying: "Totally erotic!"

I have never seen the original but I'm guessing this guy is supposed to get into some kind of high from playing tennis, so he probably said something related to ecstasy in the original, and the new translators apparently decided it's a different kind of ecstasy in a manga that features no female characters.
