  • But also realize the furigana there is pulling a cursed jutsu - you’re asking it to pull up the “english” (wasei-eigo) reading of a word, and not it’s actual reading.

    The practice of using alternate readings is real common in fiction, where the furigana will have the fictional reading and the Kanji explains what it means. Fujino Omori, writer of Dan Machi loves constantly doing that.

    The other use of it is as a what is said / subtext. The furigana is what is said, but the kanji is the subtext, like: “ことば” (words) over "告白” (confession).
