The Hating Girl(すべてに射矢ガールSubete ni Iya Gāru) is a manga about a mysterious girl who has an arrow stuck in her head and a boy who tries to understand her. The Japanese title literally translates as "All About the Archery Arrow Girl". The word "iya" (射矢; archery arrow) in the title is a pun on the word "iya" (嫌 or 厭; detestable). The covers have a common motif of apples, a reference to the apocryphal William Tell legend of shooting an apple on his own son's head with a crossbow bolt.
