Sunohara Hinata thought defeating the evil overlord and returning to high school in Japan marked the end of his otherworldly adventures. But when Mariabell, his first and most fervent ally from the magical realm, follows him home, his daily life takes a fantastical turn. Just a month after his return, Mariabell, a dark elf with a passionate and slightly obsessive love, declares they're meant to be together forever. Now, Hinata must navigate the halls of high school while living with a magically jealous girlfriend who takes “school crush” to a whole new level. Join them as they tackle life's unexpected twists in this exhilarating rom-com adventure!
Nakanosora launched the manga in Takeshobo's Web Comic Gamma Plus service in 2021. Takeshobo published the manga's fourth volume on Thursday.
WWWave Corporation launched the Deregula anime label in June 2023 to begin producing anime of other companies' IPs. Previously, WWWave Corporation had been focused on producing anime based on its own original manga. The company plans to release four new animated titles a year under the Deregula label while also continuing to produce its AnimeFesta titles at the same pace of at least four titles per year. Yandere Dark Elf is Deregula's first announced anime.
