these are all the mangas/webtoons/manhuas that I’ve read on mangago that have a yandere male AND are worth reading (there are some really good lists that encompass all stories on mangago that have any yandere vibes so I rec checking those out!!). I’m making this list not as I read them so I don’t remember character names but I’ll include chapters I bookmarked that have yandere moments LOL so I’m sorry for speaking in vague terms abt which one is the yandere

I wasn’t in my right mind a few months ago when I decided I didn’t like this one. it’s so good: the angst, yandere ML, despair from the FL. like you actually root for characters and there are layers to every relationship. It’s really good I promise, and the ML does things like confining the FL, doing it for four days non stop, and saying that he owns her. it’s not explicit or anything but has a lot of suggestive content

ch. 42, 56, 61

I saw spoilers for this one it’s super twisted - FL is an empress and gets deposed after the emperor brings in a mistress. She gets “saved” by the ML, who was her former slave and now the emperor of a powerful empire. in future chapters apparently he confines her, there’s noncon, etc

THIS ONE IS SO GOOD. all the MLs are obsessed with her because of her charm skill. confinement, drugs, etc are all include so read at your own risk. I love miserable FLs she completely breaks down and loses it, so her personality completely changes once she loses all hope. this is the most interesting manhwa I’ve read in a while (like I read it all in one sitting and didn’t get tired). some of my fav chs:

the characters are so fine but more importantly the ML is obsessed with the FL. confinement and wanting to monopolize her def one of my favorites on this list because the plot is good too

The Duke’s Obsession with His Wife

I’m guessing from the title that this will fit into this list lol but so far, the ML has tricked the FL isn’t marrying him, hid his identity from her, and entered a contract marriage with her with no intention of ever divorcing. it’s more comedy- I don’t see it being really serious or twisted later on tbh

this one makes my BP high tbh like the plot itself isn’t good and kinda bland (typically transmigration story and there’s a mistress and yada yada) but it’s SO entertaining bc her ex-husband just keeps chasing her and being crazy. he stalks her everywhere and has crazy audacity by bringing his “mistress” with him everywhere too to beg the FL to take him back. would rec if you like these annoying plots like me

What can a LIST do?

You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.
