>tried reading a few "yandere" manga recently>They all depict them as "harmless" or "non-threats" and are more or less just a variant on the tsundere archetypeShould I just stop reading Japanese manga, and start reading Korean/Chinese webtoons from now on to get my Yandere girl fix? It just flummoxes me that Japan is fumbling the Yandere archetype despite creating it and popularizing it just a decade ago. What the fuck happen in the interim?
>>282446817The fundamental problem with any Yandere manga is that by its very nature, it has to be short and many Mangakas refuse to make short mangas.
>>282446817China/Korea yan just doesn't hit the same. Wonder if it's a completely dead trend or if it's just translators
>>282446817What’s even the appeal of a yandere girl? She’s no different than a tsundere who hurts you if you step out of line for even a second.
>>282448502What makes them weak
>>282446817I feel your pain OP. Getting an actual yandere is so rare. I just hate that most yandere are used for comedic value.
>>282447321I mean there have been attempts but they’ve been axed for not being Kawaii.
>>282446817>What the fuck happen in the interim?Feels like everyone unanimously decided to change what yandere refers to and it got watered down to being someone who seems obsessive and kills someone. Doesn't matter who they kill either, some rando mob character would be fine.
>>282452090Care to name a few?
>>282446817Source? I need to know if the FMC actually rapes her best friend
>>282455543She does
>>282446817Yeah, most Yandere exist only as part of MC harem or obligatory anime "trope". I wish more Yandere actually poses a threat to MC instead of typical kawaii uguu girl with different side.
>>282446817If you think about it the yandere archetype is extremely specific and in reality was mostly carried by the extremely memorable Yuno Gasai. However the broader archetype is still alive, it just changed forms into menheras, so it is alive and well.
>>282456566>menherasMenheras are such water-down yanderes, that I almost consider them tsunderes.
>>282458225Menheras are just mentally ill girls without the need for the murderous obsessive love component of yanderes..
>>282456566>changed formsdowngraded*Menhera is yandere without the fun parts
>>282446817Where is this pic from? Got a name?
>>282460800Menheras and Yandere are not alike
>>282454579ヤむにやまれぬ！ as a recent case.
