Love/Death is a very short (it took be around 5 minutes to read all of it) comedy manga about a yuri couple where they're both yanderes. The manga really only has one joke where one of the girls does something that makes the other very jealous, and because of that they begin a fight to the death, during which they'll talk about their feelings and eventually realize how much they love each other and do some cute yuri stuff together. Since the manga is only 8 chapters long, with each chapter only having around 8 pages, it's hard to feel like the joke overstays its welcome.
Shouko and Akkii, the two girls, are pretty good yanderes, the little bit we see of them without each other is enough to make it feel like they have lives outside of just their relationship, which is something most yandere characters don't have, for better or for worse. If you're as much into yanderes as i am, you'll probably enjoy them and their relationship quite a lot, if you're not you may still get some enjoyment from the absurd comedy caused by their fights, tho at times it does feel like the violence gets way out of hand, and since it has no actual consequences for the characters, it feels heavily out of place.
The main strength of this manga really is its short duration and yandere relationship. Other than that most of the other aspects aren't particularly interesting. The art is at its best when the girls go full-yandere on each other, when that happens both of them show a lot of personality and emotions through their faces. The fights they get into also are not really anything of note, all of them can be summed up as "one girl runs straight at the other with a knife, the other girl deflects the attack, gets into advantage and explains her feelings", the only differences between them is what weapon they're using. All of them also end up in the exact same way with the two of them kissing or hugging, with a running gag where a completely unrelated character will show up and appear confused at all the chaos they caused.
Overall, the people who can get the most enjoyment of this manga are yandere fans like me, as well as yuri fans. But since you can read all of it in just 10 minutes, i see no reason not to read it even if you don't consider yourself neither of them, it might still have something you like.
