Small kana printed beside kanji to show how they are read, used on every kanji in manga for younger readers. The term reduces to 5 — the turn.
5Five — change. That is the reduction of this term, and the shelf it is read from.
Furigana (振り仮名) are tiny hiragana or katakana set beside a kanji, or above it in horizontal text, to give its pronunciation. In a manga's vertical speech balloons they run down the right-hand side of the characters.
Magazines aimed at children and teenagers print furigana on every kanji, so a reader who has not yet learned a character can still read the dialogue. Shonen and shojo manga do this as a rule; seinen and josei titles often do not, which is why learners of Japanese are regularly pointed towards shonen.
Manga also use furigana creatively. A word can be written in kanji that carry one meaning while the furigana give a different reading: a technique's name spelled with serious characters but read as a foreign word, or "enemy" written in kanji and read as "friend". The reader takes in both at once.
These double readings have no English equivalent. Translators choose one, add a note, or find a pun that does part of the work, which is one reason the same line can read quite differently in two translations.
The arithmetic is unremarkable and worth doing anyway: 41 across 1 word, reducing to 5.
What the 5 brings is change. The reference files it as a turn. Whatever else this entry is doing, it is doing it with the 5's restlessness and hunger for change.
Heart's Desire 5, Personality 9: the presentation folds back into the want: reckoning in service of change.
The 5 asks you to ask what was abandoned, and whether it deserved to be. The 5 moves for the sake of moving. Not every break documented here led anywhere, and the reference says so where it did not. The other entries that reduce to 5 are collected on The Turn.
