El seudónimo de Ichiyo
Al elegir este nombre, la autora ironizaba sutilmente su penosa situación económica, pues Ichiyō —que literalmente significa «una hoja»— hace referencia a la pobreza que la acuciaba a ella y a su familia.
El sobrenombre remite a la leyenda del barco,
consistente en un sencillo junco, que Bodhidharma empleó para
cruzar el río Yangtze tras entrevistarse con el emperador Wu-ti
(502-550). Cuenta la leyenda que, tras desembarcar milagrosamente, se retiró a meditar durante nueve años, período durante el cual permaneció inmóvil. Pasado este tiempo, cuando alcanzó la iluminación y salió de su retiro, Bodhidharma, debido a la postura de meditación adoptada y a la falta de movimiento, había perdido las piernas. Como derivación de esta leyenda, existe la expresión en japonés «no tener piernas» (oashi ga nai), que significa «no tener dinero»

@karmicpunishment
au where atsushi never joins the ada and works at idk some cafe or some shit
anyway theres a big grocery store near his tiny apartment and it always has the best deals and the best sales but not that many ppl around him go there much to atsushi's shock
but atsushi always goes there to shop - and at first he thinks maybe he shouldnt be here becuz the workers there always look surprised to see him
but then they dont say anything to him and the other costumers are rlly nice so he doesn't think too much of it
how is he, new to yokohama, supposed to know taht this grocery store is usually only frequented by the more scary and strange ppl (ada and pm)
how is he supposed to know that the cute scary looking vampire guy who gives him tea recommendations and stares at him before pointing at things that go well with tea and leaving when atsushi thanks him but always giving him recommendations when he sees him again and occasionally going out of his way to buy something atsushi's eyes lingered on but he didn't get cuz of prices is actually the rabid dog of the mafia
how is he supposed to know that the bandaged guy who only ever buys crabs and looks surprised but listens when atsushi offers to help him buy things thatll go good with them (after all atsushi knows how hard it is to try new food and how overwhelming it is to go from sneaking food from the kitchens to buying whatever he wants) is a ex mafioso current detective
and that the slightly scary but ultimately nice guy with the long blond hair and glasses who took one look at atsushi's cart and immediately wrote down a better, but still cheap, dietary plan is the bandage guys partner
and the guy with the hat and long red hair who helped atsushi carry his stuff to his apartment after atsushi complimented his hat is actually a mafia executive
and the long haired pretty woman who atsushi runs into while she's buying something for her brother is actually scary cute vampire guys sister and an assassin
and the blonde lady who asked for atsushi's help on choosing a snack for her boss is also in the mafia
and the short guy who buys too many snacks and told atsushi his taste in candy was low level and he should buy this too while also stealing the last packet of a brand atsushi wanted to try from his cart was the world's greatest detective (ok actually he knew he was a detective becuz of how he dressed but still)
and the old guy who comes to buy cat stuff and sadly confided in atsushi how he had trouble with a stray he had found and listened carefully to atsushi's advise on how to deal with stray cats, and patted atsushi's had in a way that made atsushi's long forgotten childhood wish of having parents briefly resurface was actually the boss of the ada
and so on
meanwhile everyone else who knows about the store is flabbergasted that some kid just goes in and out with zero fucks and is casually besties w/ everyone there
and then the guild come looking for atsushi heh
