"It feels like if I do something strange, I might break you."

Well, maybe you could start with stopping to beat your girlfriend up with those sticks that you keep twirling for no reason. Ya know...to reduce the risk of breaking her. Just sayin.

Of course from the look of it it's mostly cartoon violence and the injuries doesn't seem to carry over to subsequent chapters.

Soon they would be covered in bandages and casts laying on a hospital bed... right next to each other... which would not stop them from getting violent again, haha

Or from banging each other. .....wat someone had to say it

That's some killer foreplay they go through. Funny how they seem to agree that brutally assaulting your girlfriend with improvised murder weapons is somehow less likely to break her than giving her a freaking kiss.

You obviously don't understand the gentle heart of a maiden.

I think I have it sort of worked out:

  1. Strong enough to engage in mortal combat without being winded.
  2. Aggressive enough to engage in mortal combat at the slightest provocation.
  3. Bold enough to confess romantic feelings and sexual urges unflinchingly during mortal combat.
  4. Weak enough to reduce you to an embarrassed quivering mess at the first sign of genuine affection.

Basically, it's an evil Superman and the LOVE is it's kryptonite.

Well they are supposed to be yandere characters after all. Violence is as natural as breathing to them. Having their object of affection act so sweetly towards them isn't typical for them though. It's more likely to be screams of terror or fearful obedience instead.

TBH I personally think calling them yanderes is totally missing the point. Neither of them show the obsessiveness or crazed possessiveness that marks the classic yandere, to start with. But more importantly, it's clear that both of them are basically the archetype of the highly-trained, hair-trigger assassin type, put in a completely different context (girl-girl romance). All the stuff they do, if you remove the battles, would not be out of place in any issue of Yuri Hime or Hirari.

Violence is their language, but to me it's in a much different fashion to a typical yandere.

I personally think the point of this manga as satire, that it uses extreme violence as a juxtaposition for yuri/romance tropes to point out their silliness. When I view it in that light it is friggin HYSTERICAL. i could be off base and over estimating the title, but imma choose to continue to interpret it that way for the lolz. ^_~

Fair enough point. I think they do show some possessiveness though. The parts where they tried to kill each other chapter 1 simply because they liked the other one and thought their feelings weren't mutual as well as the extreme jealousy on their date are definitely the sorts of actions a yandere character would take.

To make a proper judgment over whether they're actually yandere or not we'll probably just need to be patient and wait and see how the story continues to develop. Though the satire point aoinokansei brought up is also completely valid. (And in the end whether they're yandere or not I think is actually mostly irrelevant anyways. The story is hilarious yet adorable regardless.)

Still a better love story than Yuru Yuri...

Partly due to the fact that Yuru Yuri isn't a love story.

I really like all the Kuzushiro we're getting lately. She really has some of the most creative settings in any romance manga, yuri or not, and quickly became one of my favorite mangaka. For me Love/Death is definitely her best series, looking forward to more.

Yeah if yanderes are gonna be crazed obsessive/possessive in order to be yanderes they don't fit that stereotype. I think if it's a satire of anything it's a satire of the annoying use of miscommunication that plagues stories EVERYWHERE. Like using miscommunication as a plot development is not necessarily bad (looking at you Sora no Method, Lonely Wolf/Lonely Sheep), but when everything hinges on quite literally the fact the characters don't just freaking take time to talk to one another or trust them, it's annoying and shallow.

I mean that's like saying it's a better comedy than Angel Beats. Totally missing the point of the show.

And if you ask me Yuru Yuri's romances are solidly on point, it's just that the mood of it is meant to be fun and lighthearted (barring that Akari time travel episode), so adding the drama and romance that comes with love stories would be missing the target.
