On a hunt for “yandere”

Before we start—needless to say, given the nature of this trope, heavy trigger warnings ahead. A lot of disturbing themes are mentioned here, so, if this is not the trope for you, please feel free to skip this one. We hope to see you in the next post!

Additionally, spoilers ahead. A character revealed to be yandere is, in some cases, a spoiler in itself, since they might be introduced as merry-go-lucky angels but be revealed to be yandere in the end. In quite a few visual novels, a yandere reveal is even part of a Bad Ending and a shock to all. So, out there be spoilers.

However, there’s still something to be said about the unique atmosphere of a convention, where people travel from all over just to revel in their shared love of a certain thing.

This past weekend, I attended the very first Citrus Con — a weekend-long BL-centered event that combines the convenience of online interaction with the sense of close community provided by good old-fashioned fan conventions.

Read on to get a taste of the juicy festivities!
