I don't understand why people refer to Japanese manga/anime with mispronounced Engrish titles. The title is clearly supposed to be Hateful Boyfriend. Why can't you just call it that?

[childings.livejournal.com]

I can't tell if you are trolling or joking or whatever, but "hato" is the Japanese word for pigeon

So no

It's not

[(Anonymous)]

...so is the title really supposed to be "Pigeonful Boyfriend"?

[childings.livejournal.com]

I think it's a play on words, but the "hato" part is definitely supposed to be there.

Besides, there are plenty of anime/manga/video games from Japan that have titles with English in them that don't make any sense

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand how "pigeon boyfriend" is a pun, but okay. At least "Hateful Boyfriend" makes sense.

TBH I always thought that keeping the Engrish titles was just something weeabos did to feel more Japanese.

[childings.livejournal.com]

I think the "hato" is supposed to also sound like "heart" (the way that English word is usually pronounced in Japanese is "ha-to" after all). So, it's a play on words, "pigeon-ful boyfriend" and also "heartful boyfriend" (or I guess "hateful" also as someone below pointed out)

[(Anonymous)]

But it's a three-way pun on heart, hate, and pigeon...

[vethica]

How is it a pun on hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, the comment I replied to got my words mixed up, it's still a three-way pun but that one's "hurt". It's in the (english version of the) game, in the second half, the 'hatoful boyfriend' in the text box changes to 'hurtful boyfriend'

[(Anonymous)]

/same
and if you meant like linguistically how does it work out, はーとふる (lit. hātofuru, romanised = Hatoful) is basically a transliteration to be used for both "heartful" and "hurtful", as well as the hato/pigeon thing.

[vethica]

Ahhh okay. I was thinking, "but hate is pronounced totally differently!" Hurt I can understand. :P

[sai_salamander]

OH MY GOD, I SEE THE TEXT BOX NOW!! All the way through, I thought it was the top window text that changed to Hurtful, lol. Now I feel like a derp XD

[ooh_mrdarcy]

Like ppl before me have pointed out, hato is the Japanese word for pigeon/dove, but hatoful also means "heartful".
It's not about trying to sound like a weeaboo, it's about pointing out a pun to those who understand the language.
