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.

AMNESIA: Memories (spoilers)
Do you think I took advantage of your not knowing anything, and tricked you into thinking I'm your boyfriend? Oh, that's right. The harassment at your house could have all been my doing, too. I could have driven you to the edge by doing that, just to confine you in this room. ...Hey, are you afraid of me? —Toma, in the "World of Diamonds Route" from AMNESIA: Memories
My greatest enemy is the side of myself that doesn't want to be disliked by you. —Toma, in the "World of Diamonds Route" from AMNESIA: Memories

That's a cage made for large dogs. It was tough getting it in the room. It's sealed with a padlock, so you can't get out. Don't try anything silly, like trying to force it open Who do you think has more strength... You, or a very large dog? It should be obvious. It's not built so it can be broken easily. I'll give you all your meals. I'll let you out to use the bathroom and take showers, too. Don't worry. ... I'm sorry, Shujinko But if I don't do this, you'll try to leave the room, right? I can't let you do that. ...I'm sorry. —Toma, in the "World of Diamonds Route" from AMNESIA: Memories

You know it's dangerous to go outside. Did you want to leave that badly? ...Did you want to run away from me that much...? What should I do? What could I do to make you listen to me, Shujinko? —Toma, in the "Good Ending" of the "World of Diamonds Route" from AMNESIA: Memories
Just like you don't know the pain I feel, I'm not going to notice the pain you feel, either. You'd just try to run away from me, right? —Toma, in the "Good Ending" of the "World of Diamonds Route" from AMNESIA: Memories
...I've done some harsh things to you, but it looks like it wasn't enough. If I stop screwing around, and forcibly take you for myself, will you finally look at me, and only me...? Or... Would you just break? ....I don't mind if you break. I'm confident that I could still love you, even if that happens. —Toma, in the "Good Ending" of the "World of Diamonds Route" from AMNESIA: Memories
Oh, I see... ...So in the end, no matter what I do, you'll always run away from me. If you were going to hate me anyway, I should have done far worse things to you. —Toma, in the "Bad Ending" of the "World of Diamonds Route" from AMNESIA: Memories
But don't worry. I'll protect you. I'll always protect you from anything scary. As long as I live, as long as you live, and as long as you're here... ...We'll always... Always be together. —Toma, in the "Bad Ending" of the "World of Diamonds Route" from AMNESIA: Memories

Perfect Love (spoilers)
Accidents became frequent around your college. Two people in your class that had accidentally stepped on your shoe... Were found dead in a car accident only weeks later. The professor that had given you a hard time and almost failed you... Was found at the wrong end of town, with his body torn up and his bones broken. Anyone that crossed you would suddenly be dead only moments later. And at night... You would find Milo drenched in red. Sitting...watching you... The blood on his face shining from the lights outside. These coincidences, these accidents... It became obvious that they were anything but. And slowly, the college became paranoid of who would be the next victim. The Blood Eye killer, they called him...with etchings of the eye drawn in red marker. The eyes that watched you every night. The eyes of the person who protected you. —Eris about Milo Change, in the "A Perfect Killer Love Ending" from Perfect Love

I won't let you go out there anymore. I...I won't fail again, my pet. I swear on my life... So I thought about it...
