Chotto dake Ai ga Omoi Dark Elf ga Isekai kara Oikaketekita [Season 1 Episode 2]

Episode 2 Review: Chotto dake Ai ga Omoi Dark Elf ga Isekai kara Oikaketekita

A Yandere Elf in High School? Sign Me Up!

If you thought the first episode of Chotto dake Ai ga Omoi Dark Elf ga Isekai kara Oikaketekita (or Yandere Dark Elf: She Chased Me All the Way From Another World!) was wild, Episode 2 cranks up the chaos to eleven. This fantasy-romance-comedy hybrid, adapted from Sora Nakano’s manga, follows Hinata, a high schooler turned hero who defeated the Demon King in another world—only to have his dark elf companion, Mariabelle, follow him back to Earth. And let’s just say, Mariabelle isn’t here to sightsee.

Plot & Shenanigans

Episode 2 dives straight into the absurdity of Mariabelle adjusting to human life—or rather, not adjusting. Fans were split on how casually the school accepts her as a “cosplaying” elf, but hey, suspension of disbelief is part of the fun. The real highlight? Mariabelle’s intense yandere tendencies. From spying on Hinata through a voodoo doll (yikes) to physically inspecting her rival Sakura’s… assets (double yikes), this episode doesn’t hold back on the fanservice or the laughs.

One fan summed it up perfectly: “From trying to kill Sakura to squishing her cheeks, Mariabelle’s character development is… unique.” And honestly, that’s the charm of this show. It knows exactly what it is—a raunchy, over-the-top comedy with a side of fantasy—and leans into it hard.

Fan Reactions: Love It or Hate It?

The MyAnimeList discussions were a mixed bag, but the majority seemed to enjoy the episode’s ridiculousness. Here’s what stood out:

• Yandere Goldmine: “Mariabelle’s yandere side was chef’s kiss this episode. The way she went from ‘I’ll murder you’ to ‘let’s be friends’ with Sakura was hilarious.”
• Fanservice Galore: “The ED is just a zooming still image, and the OP is recycled clips? Lazy. But the actual episode? Peak degenerate entertainment.”
• Logic? What Logic?: “Nobody questions the dark-skinned, long-eared girl in school? Sure, why not. At least Sakura saw her use magic, so someone has common sense.”
• Short but Sweet: “The 12-minute runtime is annoying. We could’ve gotten more development, but hey, at least it’s fast-paced.”

Final Verdict: A Guilty Pleasure

If you’re here for deep storytelling or groundbreaking animation, this isn’t the show for you. But if you want a no-holds-barred comedy with a yandere elf, absurd fanservice, and zero regard for realism, Chotto dake Ai ga Omoi Dark Elf delivers.

As one fan put it: “It’s like Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf but with more boob grabs and murderous intent.” And honestly? That’s a selling point.

Rating: 7.5/10 (for pure, unapologetic chaos).
