Out of curiosity, what was y'all's first exposure to yandere/dark romance/whatever it's called? When (and if) did you decide you liked it?
Personally, I was in 2nd grade, and I had read this Super Mario comic from the 80s or 90s (from my dad). It had Bowser kidnapping Peach (cliché), but then Kamek (or however you spell the wizard thing's name) put her under a spell. She was, of course, saved by Mario before she could say I do.
However, 8 or 9 year old me decided that was hot and began acting it out with my Barbie dolls.
Anyway, that brings us to today (ФωФ)
