Animation studio Elias has shared the first trailer for their Yandere Dark Elf anime adaptation, a first look at the anime with its premiere and more.
The new trailer gives a first look at what’s to come Yandere Dark Elf: She chased me all the way from another world!, based on the manga series of the same name, written and illustrated by Nakano Sora (which is also based on the previous adult doujin of the same name).
The first trailer reveals protagonist Hinata Sunohara, now back in our regular world after saving the fantasy world from an evil overlord. His return to normal life is turned upside down when Mariabell, an extremely well-endowed dark elf, follows him back to Earth so she can claim him for herself.
While Rie Kawamura plays the protagonist Hinata, Minami Takahashi plays the extremely busty and possessive dark elf Mariabell. A premiere is now planned for sometime in April this year.
The new anime series is produced by the same team behind the Plus size elf anime from studio Elias, which premiered in July 2024. Director Toshikatsu Tokoro returns as director, Yuki Takabayashi handles the series composition and Kazuhiko Tamura handles the character designs.
