Translation: Mad Love) is a term for a character who loves someone so much that they go insane. It is similar to yandere in that they show an obsessive kind of love towards someone, but unlike yandere their love becomes mad and distorted and they do not have the sweet and affectionate "deredere" aspects of the character. It has almost the same meaning as yandere, but the biggest difference is that they don't care if their love interest suffers because of their love and the person who is loved is often forced to endure pain through confinement or other means. They are so mad that they may even kill their love interest because they "love" them so much. It could be seen as a horror version of yandere which lacks the cute and doting deredere aspects and only has the dark and obsessive ones.
