2 questions......
in a book (manga) I find words like 自分（じぶん）
though the furigana is 自分（ボク）。　　in full 自分に。

so what confuses me, why is the reading changed (with kana), when the meaning, as i believe is the same. at least it could be ジブン。＾＾

also what means expresion いててて。
thanks in advance

Answer

自分 means "myself". When you call yourself, you may say 僕, ボク, 私, ワタシ, アタシ.....

Let me give you a piece of advice, when you study Kanji, it would be better focus on meaning. Every single Kanji character has meanings but not only pronounciation. This is one of the difference between English or other languages using alphabets. 

いててて means Ouch.

Answer

Sometimes they use furigana in very artsy  ways.
It's not official pronounciation.

The mening of kanji is "self".
Maybe they meant: "he says I, but he means "myself". But I don't know.
