Huisinyay san,
Konnichiwa.
Well… basically kanji has kun-yomi and on-yomi as you know.
However, they have special readings sometimes.
One of those examples is ashita.
I know it makes you confused however it is what is is…
I can’t change it and it is the Japanese language.

so i have to leave aside the kun-yomi readings and on-yomi readings and remember that 明日 is ashita? Thanks by the way! :D
