Yan-chan is another word for Yandere, but to make it a nick name for someone, or what to call a Yandere. A Yandere is someone who usually pretends to be sweet, but in reality they are someone who will kill for a certain reason. That reason is: when a Yandere finds a crush (or senpai) they will kill anyone who will try to harm their crush or anyone else who likes them.
