Hm... you sure she doesn't mean ugly-cute?

I thought about "grossly cute", but it literally does match up to "disgustingly adorable", so I couldn't resist using the term.

I see. I though about this but it was purely speculation from context since i cannot read kanji :P

No, "ugly cute" would work too, so you're not wrong. It just happens to work as a synonym for "disgustingly adorable", if you take "disgustingly" in a different context.

So want to add it to the pool because of that.
