Yandere and Tsundere


I've seen many different types of anime girls but the two prominent ones that have stuck to my memory are yandere and tsundere girls. Now everytime I think about a normal relationship, the image of a boring and cliche girl comes up. I just can't stand normal girls in an anime! Haruna from To Love-Ru for example.

Yandere is a behaviour (not limited to girls) in a romantic relationship where the guy or girl loves the partner so much that obsessed would a more suitable term.

Tsundere is when the guy/girl's behaviour in a relationship consistently alternates between cold and shy/warm. You can see an example of this in Zero No Tsukaima.

Sometimes I wonder if anime and manga has affected my real life preferences for girls.

Here's a picture I dug up from google images to help your understanding.

  4. I think that such psychological disorders even have their names (Borderline and OCD would sound right for those)... Am I right?

  7. Ah, okay, I always wondered what Tsundere meant, It was used as a joke in a webcomic I read but I never knew what it was.
