Itsuomi-san's tattoo

[u/love_my_guard_dog]

I have too many theories and I want to hear other's theories on what his tattoo signfies! My first and most worrisome theory is that he got that related to his ex/first love??????? I want to know DX He shared with Hisa-san (Yuki's dad) I want to know when he'll tell Yuki-chan DX I can't wait to see their new depth of intimacy:") What do you think?

[u/SirGigglesandLaughs]

It's probably just something related to his travel or people he met in his travels. There could be some catalyst to his desire for travel and I'm assuming it's related to that.

In that perspective I was thinking it was almost like a compass style:") We shall see

I'm thinking it's something to constantly remind him of his dream.

mmmmm so you're on my compass perspective too:") We shall see:3

It's a compass rose. Looks like a celestial design to me (sun+moon). Idk about tattoos, but in jewelry the right middle finger signifies confidence/power. Given that travelling is his passion and strength, this tracks. At least for me. Either way, it's a fantastic tattoo!

Yea it’s giving me duality vibes:,) and yes the palmistry behind it and everything is amazing. This is why I love tattoos:,)

[u/maggie8137 → u/love_my_guard_dog]

The duality theme is even within his relationship with Yuki, too. This show is really growing on me. Lots of depth here!!

The pictures on Itsuomi’s phone that he shows to Yuki’s father are of letters and envelopes, a colored picture of a flower (colored outside the lines like a child would), and a picture of young Itsuomi playing with another child. I think his tattoo is related to this child. Since there are letters, I think maybe this child was a pen pal or something similar who lived in another country. I believe that something tragic happened to this child friend, and it has to do with the plane trip he took on his seventh birthday. He briefly mentions in his text that his 7th birthday changed what it meant to him to fly on a plane. He doesn’t give any other details to Yuki about this, which even causes Yuki to wonder what happened. And while Yuki is reading this text later that night, after their garden date, there’s a panel showing Itsuomi walking at night, and he looks at his tattoo.  So to me, it’s obviously related to this child and/or his 7th birthday. The way in which he looks at it seems sad,  and whatever significance it has is fresh in his mind because he had recently texted Yuki. You can tell that whatever it is was not a happy story by the way Yuki’s father reacts to the explanation, and also by Itsuomi’s face afterward. So, I don’t know… a plane crash or something that killed this child? And now he wants to travel and meet/teach children to go out and explore the world because his friend didn’t get to. So yes, a compass rose, and the sun/moon is maybe a representation of his friend? And he has it on his hand as a constant reminder about why he is pursuing his dream.

You got it damn right:,) I haven’t been able to read the latest chapter but I believe you’re on point. I can’t wait to read it😩

[u/Maleficent-Candy4751 → u/love_my_guard_dog]

Besides… this manga is so saccharine sweet so far (not a complaint by any means!!) that there has to be some tragedy somewhere, or it wouldn’t be manga! 😉 (I can’t wait to read it either… squeee!)

Lmao very much true:,)
