Not to be THAT guy, but this series' setting can more accurately be described as high-fantasy with a dash of magi-punk. Again, not tryna pick a fight, just clarifying.
Y'know, I've been wondering... Would Aru be classified as a yandere? Because I can see arguments both for and against it and I ain't too sure. But then again, too much spare time does that to a mf

I get what you're trying to say, and you're correct, but really? Using Hitler as an example? At least use an example that DIDN'T try to eradicate an entire ethnicity on an industrial scale.
