How do you spell Yandere in Japanese?

The word "yandere" itself is not actually a word in Japanese. It's a Japanese loanword made up of two kanji:

* ヤンデレ (Yandere)

* 病んでる (Yanderu, meaning "to be ill")

ヤンデレ (Yandere) is a combination of two kanji:

* ヤン (Yan): This is a phonetic representation of the English word "yan," which is often used in Japanese to refer to Western culture.

* デレ (Dere): This is a shortened form of the Japanese word デレデレ (Dere dere), which describes someone who is being overly affectionate or sweet.

So, the Japanese word for "yandere" is ヤンデレ (Yandere), which combines the concept of being overly affectionate with the idea of being mentally ill.
