Good Endings for a Yandere

I have to wonder how often a creator is able to make a satisfying story with a good ending for a yandere. Now when I say this, I’m not talking about the yandere’s envisioned “happy ending” where they have complete control over their loved one.

I’m talking about from a good story standpoint. If you want to have a happy ending for a yandere, they need to be redeemed first. They need to stop treating their love interest as a possession, and see them as an equal instead. A redeemed yandere could then either end up giving up on the person they’ve harmed, or they can actually have a happy relationship with the person they were originally obsessing over.

This can be a lot more tricky than you think.

**SUPER Long post ahead**

It feels like the majority of the time when I come across yanderes, they’re more often one-shot kind of characters or just involved in a small arc over a bigger story. In these cases, yes you could have the yandere “win” and get exactly what they wanted without changing. That’s because the creator isn’t dragging out the horror of the situation to a distasteful degree.

I’ll admit, I love watching yanderes work as the villain of a story. And the more screentime/appearances they get the better! But even I have say if you’re reading about a particular yandere as a one-shot villain versus say...a manga that’s at least 30 chapters long and the yandere STILL doesn’t change but manages to win instead, that might be a tad too sadistic for my tastes. In that case if you’re not gonna think about redeeming the yandere who’s been around for a long time, it’s better to have them defeated/killed in the end.

I think really the best you can do for dragging out the victim’s torture is in film format at best. I’d say play it up like a horror film in that case. Horror films are notorious for having either good, bad, or even ambiguous endings. So as long as the movie keeps people invested, you might be able to get away with that. But if you did something like even just a 12 episode TV series where the yandere didn’t change but still wins, people would be very uncomfortable.

I’ve seen a couple of yanderes that stick around a lot longer in a story if they’re made as side characters that pop up only every now and then, or the yandere side of them isn’t displayed as their only defining feature. But in these cases I’m trying to think of one where the yandere didn’t get redeemed in the end or didn’t even end up being defeated altogether. I don’t think long-lasting side character yanderes ever really win the way they wanted to from the start.

However, that all being said, I HAVE seen it happen where a yandere does become redeemed and get a good ending for a story. Not only that, but said yandere isn’t a side character: they’re one of the main cast, if not one of the main (pro?)tagonists.

Female yandere:

Yuno Gasai from “Future Diary” (aka “Mirai Nikki”)

Male yandere:

Nozomu Ijuin from “Stepping on Roses” (aka Hadashi de Bara o Fume)

It’s always the nice good-looking ones that are crazy :) Yes I picked sweet images for them on purpose. Make no mistake, they are a top-notch kind of crazy. And I kid you not, they BOTH have an axe scene.

Anyways, I’d be very surprised if anyone reading this didn’t recognize Yuno. She’s kind of notorious for being the epitome of a yandere. I don’t come across a lot of male yanderes that aren’t in one shots or small arcs, so it was hard to find a long-lasting one in a story. But Nozomu is indeed prominent in the main cast of the story. There’s no anime version of “Stepping on Roses” as I write this post, so probably not as many people have heard of him.

I won’t try to spoil the story for either of these characters. All I can say is:

- Yes they are both extreme yanderes

- Their yandere side of them is one of their defining features, and even one of the main plot points of each of their stories

- They are not a side character, but part of the main cast in their story

- They both change and get a happy ending from a story standpoint.

Now their happy endings are DIFFERENT from each other, but I won’t say who ended up in what way. You’ll just have to go read the manga or watch the anime to find out.

The question here is did these characters deserve the ending they got. If you asked me, my personal opinion is, “Mmmmm Nozomu yes maybe, but I’m sitting on the fence in Yuno’s case.” But my opinion isn’t really the important thing here.

What really determines if a yandere character was worth being redeemed from a story standpoint is contingent upon how far they have gone. I mean how many criminal acts did they commit or get away with. Was their yandere side limited to idle threats and glaring at people? Did they ever stalk their love interest? Did they every forcibly kiss their love interest? Did they ever harm or kill friends and family of their love interest? Did they ever kidnap their love interest? Did they ever physical or sexually assault their love interest?

It’s a matter of what kind of offences they commit, as well as what the reader will give a “pass.” This is where you get into a very opinionated territory. For some people, certain offences aren’t as traumatic, so redemption of a yandere may be easier. For others, once you cross a certain line, redemption doesn’t seem realistic anymore.

This is not a post meant to call out anyone on what offences they will let slide in a story. I myself actually let a LOT of things slide in a story as long as the writing isn’t clunky. It does not prevent me from enjoying the story. That doesn’t mean I let EVERYTHING slide by the way (I’ve found even some rather small details in stories that ruin the experience for me). However, pretty much 60% of the stuff I would allow in a story standpoint...would not fly for me in real life. Heck, there’s a manhwa with a male yandere happy ending that I love, but whenever I think about it I’m like, “Yeah in real life that guy should have gone to jail...a LOT.” Reality and fiction almost NEVER mix for me.

I actually don’t recommend creators catering to audience members like myself. That is, if you want a wider audience and still want to redeem your yandere. The more heinous the villain, the less realistic redemption becomes. And even if it’s a work of fiction, people do like to say “Yeah, I could see that happening.” Makes the story seem more intelligently written. Still, it’s not my place tell anyone how they should write their own characters and stories.

At least if you’re going to make a yandere pretty prominent in the story, you have the opportunity to allow people to see how the character develops and better explain their actions. It’s easier to make the character appear more sympathetic.

Sorry this post doesn’t give a definite answer as to “what a yandere should not do in order to be capable of redemption.” It’s both up to the opinion of the readers and what they’re actually interested in seeing in a story. Some want to keep it as realistic as possible and avoid any major trauma to the characters. Others are actually specifically looking for some more hardcore and extreme content to enjoy the drama of it all. To each their own really.

So yeah, I’ll keep looking for my villain yanderes, and hoping they stick around in a story for a long time. But if I want a story to not end poorly, I’m ready to accept either a) the yandere needs to get taken down or b) the yandere will be limited as to what offences they commit so they can be redeemed later.

My Manga list ❤❤❤

Hey guys! Thinking about adding a couple of new things to my blog. Im still going to do the updates but in between I plan on doing other posts that show my other interests to!

Yandere

Hadashi de Bara o Fume - I love how the Yandere character acts so innocent in the beginning ( “I only want whats best for you” “When I looked at these flowers I thought of you so I got them” Type of innocent) Then he turns into a Psychopath later on. The main character can be a little stupid and sometimes I feel like the story drags on. But otherwise a good read.

Aishite Kudasai, Sensei - I Love LOve LOVE this manga. I love how the Yandere character is so obsessive and expects the female lead to fulfill her promise of marrying him. I also love the female character and how shes a teacher. I like how smart she is and how she kind of thinks things through. A little short and a little bit cliche but I would read it again.

Risou no Kareshitachi - I love this manga and how cute the Yandere is. I also like how popular he is and his obsession over the female lead (How he tried to “clean” her from the “dirty” boy was my fav part). It does feel a bit rushed in some parts but I would read this again

*If yall have any suggestions for yandere manga for me feel free to send me a message or something. I really like male yanderes , Bishie and popular pls. thx!*

Good/Redeemed Male Yandere Examples

So I decided to organize a little and make this post after a long conversation I had with someone on tumblr recently. In the conversation, I stated both my general definitions of a “good yandere” and a “redeemed yandere,” as well as gave a brief list of examples I’ve seen.

I figure not everyone’s going to want to hunt back through the original post specifically for the list every time, so here’s a shortcut for you. I’m basically copy pasting what I said before (with maybe some rewording on some parts so they make sense). It’s a small list and those that have been around the block looking for male yanderes will probably recognize these titles.

You’ll notice not a lot of otome game characters make the list here because a) that’s not what the original asker was interested in and b) to be honest a lot of yanderes in otome games come from the “bad endings.” That’s falling more in the villain category then.

So HOPEFULLY, with the good/redeemed male yanderes, I have remained consistent at the very least with what they are. Please feel free to let me know if the definitions below don’t appear to have been very evident in my posts, or if this contradicts past posts too much:

- Good Yandere: Still exhibits behavior and actions of a yandere that are deemed either inappropriate or bad when displaying one’s affection for the love interest, BUT still manages to keep certain behavior in “check” for the sake of their love interest (and possibly others), and shows genuine love as opposed to just obsession towards their S/O

- Redeemed Yandere: A yandere who somehow changed to understand that they need to respect/understand the point of view and feelings of those around them (particularly their love interest). Usually start off over-the-top, crazy, or villainous, but realize they’ve gone too far and end up changing for the better. Redeemed yandere can then either end up as “good yanderes” or actually fall out of the yandere category if they decide to either love in a more natural manner, or even forfeit their love interest to someone else.

Male Yandere

1) Nozomu from Hadashi de bara wo fume (Stepping on Roses) – Redeemed Yandere

While not a fan of the artwork for the story, it’s one of the best examples of a prominent male yandere in a story. Used him as an example for my “good endings” post. Without spoiling exactly what happens, I will make it clear that he just becomes redeemed, not a good yandere.

2) Kairak from Abide in the Wind – Redeemed Yandere?

I can’t find the raws to read, and it’s still being translated. I am 99% sure this has a happy ending though. I actually really recommend this story in general. Seeing as Kairak is both literally and figuratively a “different animal,” he’s a good example of making a character that becomes a very clear yandere, but that it makes sense what happened and why he can be forgiven. It’s all about how the character is set up. Like I said, I haven’t seen all the raws though, and I don’t want to spoil too much here.

3) Toma from Amnesia- Redeemed?/Good?

First off, I don’t know if you want to include this guy because while there’s an anime, it’s technically based off an otome game. So it’s really only just…episode 9 and 10 I’d say you can take a peek at for fun. Since it’s based off an otome game and only a 12 episode anime series, it’s kind of shallow though with the change. That’s why I’d say it’s kind of questionable if you agree with what Toma does and why and if he properly learned his lesson. So I can’t outright declare him as a “good yandere” or a “redeemed yandere.” That’s probably more of a personal opinion thing. …It doesn’t help that I find him kind of cute though *sweats*

4) Jung Yu from Cheese in the Trap- Good?

It’s a Korean webcomic that I really enjoy. This one would require quite a bit of investment from the reader though to determine what they think of Jung. I’m going to be blunt…there are many signs in the series that he’s actually a sociopath (or close to one). No, this isn’t a horror or thriller webcomic. This would be what I’d say is the best example of a sociopath who is NOT a psychopath. Sociopaths generally don’t care about others, just themselves. It’s REALLY hard to explain, and Jung still has some genuine caring moments. Like I said, this would be a project to get into if you want to properly determine if Jung is a “good yandere,” if you can even call him a yandere at all. I haven’t read the end yet, so I don’t know if he “redeems” either. Just know that in this story, Jung does/thinks some things that are “not right.” But he’s in love with Seol I believe. The yandere moments are sadly spread out too, but you’d notice them.

5) Onyu No from Metronome- Good

At least I think he is. Story is still getting translated. Guy’s definitely a yandere, and I recommend this because other characters than just him appear to have an obsession with the main character. So far based on the plot…I think you can call him good? Will kind of have to see what happens. He’s also the type that would never want to harm his S/O (at least I think so), so that’s a plus.

6) Darin Kim from Cherry Boy, that Girl- Redeemed

You know what…I actually DON’T consider him a yandere XD Which is weird, because he has many moments displaying behavior that is EXACTLY like a yandere. I can only attribute this to how…less threatening I feel he his? Don’t get me wrong though, he’s pretty darn manipulative. I just wanted to put this on here because I recommend it a lot. Warning, you will hate ALL the characters though for the first few chapters. You gotta ride it out a bit to get past the point “I don’t sympathize with anyone here, what the heck?” You get to the GOOD development later, trust me. Because Darin portrays at least yandere behavior, I’d say check it out to judge for yourself. It’s completely translated and finished. If you call him a yandere, I’d say he’s redeemed at the end. Up to the reader if they’d ever call him “good.”

7) Jarte from 100% Perfect Girl- Redeemed/Good?

Actually a manhwa, not a manga. Like a modern day Cinderella tale. Jarte’s yandere side starts to come out more as the story progresses and the drama occurs (serious drama at least). I’d definitely call him redeemed by the end. DURING the story you can debate if you’d call him a “good yandere.” I don’t it personally. He REALLY loves Jay, but yeah the stuff he ends up doing would not be okay in real life :P Most of the yandere stuff is the last 2 volumes I believe (but there’s minor hints before then). This is one of those one’s that’s either going to draw people in due to the way that Jarte and Jay talk with each other (or avoid talking with each other) on how their relationship is/was at any current point in time…or it’ll drive you nuts and make you pull your hair out honestly because they seem crazy. This is actually one of my favorites where I feel I like how it came to the ending it did, but in real life I would have never forgiven Jarte :P

8) …Some manga I found recently that I CAN’T REMEMBER THE NAME OF!!!- Good

Look the premise is that the male yandere kidnaps a young girl he’s obsessed with, but she’s totally cool with that. The reason is because she’s glad to be away from her abusive parents. I haven’t read too much into it yet, but the yandere himself is thinking “she probably needs to put her guard up around me more than she realizes, because I CLEARLY have something wrong with me” (cue room covered with photos of the S/O). I’ll have to see if I find it again sometime. This would be a good reference though for a good yandere who has very clear yandere behavior, but due to other circumstances in the story, is not as much of the bad guy as one would think.

…wow where the heck are my yaoi stories? I know I’ve read a bunch of them, but most were probably short with a Japanese title so I can’t remember right now >_< That or they stuck with the villain trend I liked so no point in putting them here anyway. There’s two off the top of my head right now still in the works that are WAY too extreme for me to consider either of the villains “good yanderes” at any point.

Bonus: Female Yandere

1) Yuno Gasai from Mirai Nikki/Future Diary – Redeemed/Good

People can still debate on her I guess, but I’d say she’s good because of the circumstances of the game they’re thrown into, and a lot of people believe at the end it develops into a genuine loving relationship.

2) For the love of god, WHY CAN’T I REMEMBER SOME OF THE “GOOD” YANDERE STORIES?! -Good

Look there’s this comedy one I found awhile back. Not a lot of chapters, but it’s a female yandere whose boyfriend is fully aware she’s a yandere. It’s a great use of dark comedy, and the boyfriend is actually pretty good at keep her on a leash (and he does love her). I wish I could remember the name though. If you find it, it’s not long right now and at least it’s a good reference for comedic yanderes in a relationship with their S/O :P

Aaaaand sorry that’s all I can think of at the moment XD. I mostly find female yanderes by accident :P I’m usually just hunting for the males. Some people can debate if a certain magical girl from Madoka Magica is “good,” but I’ll leave that up to them :P I’ve pretty sure there’s a bunch of female yanderes not from otome games that are redeemed or “good,” I’m just drawing a blank at the moment.

So what you might have noticed from this list is it may be more common to find a redeemed yandere rather than a “good yandere.” You more often will see the yandere give up after a long fight or learn to love like a normal person would, rather than maintain their yandere qualities by the end. They can be “good yanderes” during the story if the character is fleshed out enough and it complements the plot, but it’s super rare for them to still be a “good yandere” by the end of the story.
