My use of the term "name reading" may be rather confusing. I'll say this up front, but not all names in stuff like manga or anime are read with their sound reading. There's manga like BnHA where the characters names are spelled out using their meaning reading (at other times, with the sound reading). There's no iron-clad rule on which to use. It's just that the sound reading being used is rather common for names and, when kanji alone are used to spell a word (like in this case with Rou's true name), typically they should be read with their sound reading.
