You have certainly come across cute and sweet anime characters, but Yandere? Have you?
Yanderes are not only the evil characters they seem. Instead, they are more realistic than any anime characters because they possess human-like sins.
Though the protagonist is the main character of an anime, some characters, especially Yandere, steal the show. Let’s check out some of the most popular Yandere characters in anime and manga that you should know about.
