A love triangle where at least two of the members are [[Yandere|Yanderes]]s. Leads to a massive amount of drama and generally lots of violence and attempts to [[Murder the Hypotenuse|Murder The Hypotenuse]], only now it's working both ways, and if the third member of the trio is ''not'' mentally unstable and violent, expect them to suffer quite a bit. Sometimes though, the third member of the trio can be as crazy, if not more so, than the aforementioned crazies. And if they aren't, they may be soon enough thanks to the other two.

Souma finds out, confronts Katsuragi on his bullshit and deals him a brutal [[Humiliation Conga]]... that Katsuragi's wife transforms into [[Karmic Death]].}} As for Sakurako, {{spoiler|she eventually snaps so badly that she tries to kill Souma and Masataka, then is [[Driven to Suicide]].}}

There's also Norman who's in love with Swordfish but pretended to be in love with Sen so he could get closer to Swordfish. He tried to persuade Swordfish to kill Sen but that didn't work. So, on one occasion when there was a scuffle going on he tried to get Sen out of the way by stabbing him with a pencil but accidentally ends up stabbing his inmate Walter instead who was trying to protect Sen in the hope of getting protection from Swordfish. When he finds this out, Norman holds a knife to Walter's neck telling him, "If you don't want to die, don't butt in again Walter!"

Another yandere love triangle consists of Ali having a crush on Usagi and Ann having a crush on Mamoru, when Usagi and Mamoru already love each other.
* ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' features one, in which both [[It's All About Me|Kiyomi]] [[Ambition Is Evil|Takada]] and [[Psycho Supporter|Misa]] [[Love Martyr|Amane]] vie for the affections of [[Cute and Psycho|Light]] [[Manipulative Bastard|Yagami]], who of course is [[Asexual|not in love with anyone]].
