Manga, 11 vol, 2022
Me:-

Manga, ? vol, 2023
Me:-
Author:-
Multiple yanderes - so far only one has appeared. One is mentally unstable.

Manga, ? vol, 2020
Me:-

Many yanderes; these yanderes are not quite human. I found it difficult to follow the details of the narrative, partly because the story requires some understanding of Japanese folklore.

Manga, 1 vol, 2009
Me:-
Author:-
Shoujo for those who like the genre. A miss for me personally.

Manga, ? vol, 2009
Me:-

Author:-
Yandere who isn't afraid of hurting people. Not a fan of this one personally.

Manga, ? vol, 2019
Me:-

Yandere just appeared, so not much content with that character as of right now. This series is slow to release, so if you're reading this in the hopes of seeing a yandere in action (now) you will be disappointed.

Manga, ? vol, 2023
Me:-
Author:-
Lots of yanderes but I don't understand their attraction to the MC.

Manga, 5 vol, 2019
Me:-

An isekai story about a returning hero. ML is really insecure, despite having toughed out a difficult existence in another world.

One-shot, ? vol, 2023
Me:-
Author:-

Decent story. All of the characters have emotional baggage and are relying on one another.

Manga, ? vol, 2022
Me:-
Author:-
Obsessive sister. Spin-off of another series called "Kaminaki Sekai no Kamisama Katsudou." I wouldn't recommend either of them. Only a few chapters out.

Manga, ? vol, 2021
Me:-
Author:-
"Revenge" manga, where the ML captures women and turns them into obedient slaves. Magic involved makes them a little unstable.

Manga, ? vol, 2023
Me:-
Author:-
Pretty quick progression, but short chapters. Takes forever to release.

Manga, 2 vol, 2020
Me:-
Author:-

Me:-
Author:7
One of few yandere stories that explores what a full blown relationship might be like with an obsessive girl.

Manga, 2 vol, 2022

Me:-
Author:-
Obsessive boyfriend who has no problems with hurting people (including the FML).

Manga, ? vol, 2017

Manga, ? vol, 2023
Me:-
Author:-
Currently releasing. Obsession based on being saved.

Manga, ? vol, 2017
Me:-

Me:-
Author:2

Manga, 14 vol, 2012
Me:-
Author:-
Generic harem comedy with a Yandere as one of the love interests. Over the top characters. Features magic.

Manga, 10 vol, 2004
Me:-
Author:5

Manga, 14 vol, 2007

Same as first entry. More serious tone in this continuation of the story. Struggles to balance three distinct categories: romance, characterization, and the rules of the narrative.

Manga, 5 vol, 2016
Me:-
Author:6
Features a few obsessive characters. Horror is prioritized over romance, though it does explore romantic themes. The story feels incomplete.

Me:-
Author:-
Several obsessive characters. Focuses on the psychology of each character and dysfunctional relationships.

Manga, 4 vol, 2020
Me:-
Author:6

Shoujo erotica. ML is obsessive, though I would consider it light in tone.

Manga, 3 vol, 2023
Me:-
Author:7
Inhibitions removed from one of the characters: Yandere manifests.

Manga, ? vol, 2021
Me:-
