The anime is part of WWWave Corporation‘s Deregula label, with the name being inspired by the word “deregulation.” The broadcast version of the anime will have visual and audio censoring, and will be available on AnimeFesta and DMM TV.

The anime is based on the reverse isekai harem manga by Nakanosora, which was first serialized on Takeshobo’s Web Comic Gamma Plus on September 17, 2021. Four tankobon volumes have been released as of March 2025. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga for release in English under its Ghost Ship imprint.
HIDIVE describes the main synopsis of Yandere Dark Elf as:
Hinata did it. He got reincarnated into another world, took up the mantle of Hero, and slew the dreaded Demon Lord alongside his party of fellow adventurers. As his reward, he’s returned to Earth to resume a normal life. Or it would be if it wasn’t for the fact that his dark elf companion Mariabelle decided to travel to Earth to come and live with him! Now she uses her arcane talents to ward off any potential romantic rivals and capture Hinata’s affection.
