Miyamura in school and outside school are like two different people. At school, he would cover his face with his hair to hide his piercings. But that is not the only secret he has: he also has tattoos which he covers by not participating during their PE class.

He has two tattoos: the first is on one side of his torso and the other is on his arm. The design looks like a tribal band but it was not specified why he chose that design in the first place. There is also no back story when and why he did it in the first place unlike the story behind his ear piercings.

There are fan theories that try to explain why he did it in the first place. Some say that it was to create another persona so he can escape his situation in middle school while others say that it was the only option Miyamura could think of to hide his pain.

Regardless of his real reason, the series showed that he did everything he can to hide it and eventually regrets what he did. His character broke all stereotypes people have about male protagonists. He was unique and showed that having long hair or piercings does not necessarily mean that one is gay. Also, Miyamura’s character development is really something to look forward to.
