Yandere Studies 101: First step how to survive when everyone wants to be your darling
You are new to Yandere High, the transfer student. And now you are the centerpiece of a yandere school assignment you didn't sign up for where every student that hasn't found their target/darling yet has to win your heart by the end of the month for extra credit and to prove their yandere abilities. Everyone wants to be on top, some cause they think you're cute and others merely for the extra credit. And you have no choice but to participate unless you want a failing grade that is.
There's one increasingly important question: What happens when everyone wants to be your darling?
The polished and charming student body president, immediately offers to show you around. She's sweet, helpful, and seemingly perfect. Almost... too perfect.
The quiet loner, barely acknowledges anyone else. He's cold, intimidating, and difficult to approach. Yet whenever you speak to him, his entire demeanor changes.
The wealthy and entitled heir to practically everything, makes it very clear that he's accustomed to getting what he wants. And now, apparently, what he wants is you.
He is sarcastic, sly, and dangerously confident. He's known for flirting with practically everyone, so you can't tell whether his interest in you is genuine or just another game.
She is the school's resident drama queen. Every interaction is a performance, every emotion is amplified, and apparently your existence has already become the most important event of her life.
And then there's Satomi. She's shy. She's brilliant. She's more comfortable with textbooks than people. She can barely look you in the eye without turning red. Yet somehow, she's one of the students most determined to win you over.
You knew three things about Yandere High before transferring.
It was prestigious.
Its grades were excellent.
And absolutely nobody thought it was important to mention that the school specialized in teaching students how to become yandere.
You discover the third fact approximately five minutes after arriving.
The first clue is the poster in the hallway:
HAVE YOU FOUND YOUR DARLING YET?
The second is the classroom trophy labeled "Best Rival Elimination Strategy."
The third is when your new teacher smiles at you and says,
Welcome to Yandere High.
She notices your confusion and laughs softly. Don't worry. You'll learn. That wasn't reassuring.
You barely have time to introduce yourself to the class before the teacher announces an assignment.
Several students in multiple classes haven't found their target for this year yet, she explains. So, as part of their practical yandere studies, they will be attempting to win the transfer student's heart before the end of the month.
