THIS HAS NOW BEEN CHANGED TO SHOUJO/JOSEI ONLY. I HAVE A SEPARATE LIST FOR BL LIGHT NOVELS... more>>

Collection of light novels with Male Yanderes who are crazy for the main character (Shoujo / Josei). 

###

There is now a separate list for Male Yanderes in BL novels

###

Currently in no order - WIP

Categories:

Male Yandere Male Lead - An important character (usually the ML) is yandere

Male Yandere Side Character - The yandere is only a supporting character and/or may only appear for a short part of the story. If the novel doesn't have a yandere tag at all then it probably means the yandere plays a very minor role.

Possessive Male Lead - Perhaps not quite a yandere but does show signs of possessiveness

Not Enough Chapters - Too early in the novel to tell / character hasn't demonstrated yandere traits yet but it's tagged under Male Yandere <<less

Novels w/
• jealousy
• sly comments
• tension
• obsessive love... more>>

I've ranked these based on the ones I've enjoyed the most considering the plot and possessiveness of the male lead by a 2:1 ratio ~

Only straight romances 

(I have another list only for BL)

what I've written are my honest opinions and pls feel free to reccomend more or to ask any questions ~♡ <<less

No yuri (gomen)

No yaoi (gomen ;~;)

There are a lot of novels I know which have obsessive male leads, but unfortunately there's no info about them here on NU, so i'll probably just list it here or on the comments:

Mommy villainess (PERSONAL FAVORITE)

The demon's bride

The crown's obsession

Young master Damien's pet

The reason why I don't want to marry the Prince <<less

No description.

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. ... more>>

The novels you're gonna be seeing here are of course, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters spent to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). But mostly, it's gonna be more about fluff, light-hearted and more focused on romance.

----------

Found out there's a limit on how much you could add on the list so... I'm gonna be making a Recommendation list no. 2!

Based on my personal scale of yandere intensity.... more>>

NOTE: THE RATING IS NOT A RATING OF THE NOVEL, ONLY THE INTENSITY OF THE YANDERE. 

This list includes all the books I think are solid 7+/10 and very intense male yanderes. BL included. Most novels are completed. Spoilers beware! 

The Scale:

1: All bark no bite

7: Glaring red flags, but red is my favourite colour. 

9: Perfect intensity. The most intense just below abusive imo. 

10: My friend, if you don't get out of there, imma call 911 to drag you out of there. Somebody get a restraining order pls im begging.

Please note: These are intense yanderes, there will be toxic and abusive relationships. Please read the tags for TWs. <<less
