Here’s a ready-to-post response for someone asking about an English translation of Nikurashii Kare (憎らしい彼) — a novel whose title roughly means “That Hateful Guy” or “Detestable Boyfriend.”
Fans looking to read the series in English have several avenues, ranging from official retail copies to long-standing community fan translations.
However, unlike simpler "bad boy" tropes, novels like this often peel back layers to reveal the insecurities driving the characters. The protagonist’s hatred is often a defense mechanism against attraction or vulnerability. Readers are drawn to the psychological depth: the slow unraveling of why the male lead acts the way he does, and the protagonist’s internal struggle to reconcile her hatred with her growing affection.
Typically falling under the "Josei" (adult women) genre, the story often explores the relationship between a protagonist who is emotionally guarded or cynical and a male lead who challenges her worldview in aggressive ways. The "Nikurashii" aspect usually stems from the male lead's personality—he might be arrogant, manipulative, or emotionally distant.

I am always thrilled to shop at MINISO. Quality products, cute designs, soooo many fab products and GREAT prices!
I could not travel without you being such an affordable store for all the products I bought for my trip last time, including: passport holder, luggage tag, luggage strap, travel kit, atomiser bottles and most importantly, neck pillow!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank MINISO for the wonderful shopping experience I had recently. More specifically, I bought a noodle bowl and storage boxes and was very pleased with how they were packed and given to me - each in their own individual box, which makes it extremely easy for storage.
Really appreciated the discount and offers during Global Fan Fiesta... Bought quite a few items and needless to say I'm in love with MINISO!
Besides good prices on a wide variety of products, I love the fact that it brings new design every two weeks. But the thing that impresses me most is their excellent staff and customer service.
