Diabolik Lovers (Japanese: ディアボリックラヴァーズ, Hepburn: Diaborikku Ravāzu) is a Japanese otome game franchise by Rejet [jp]. Its first entry was released in October 2012 for the PlayStation Portable system. The franchise has released seven games with the first two having been remastered for the PlayStation Vita and released as "Limited V Editions". The seventh game was released in March 2019 playable on Nintendo Switch. The franchise has brought forth two 12-episode anime television adaptations by Zexcs, which aired from September to December 2013, and September to December 2015. The first series was followed by an original video animation (OVA), which was included in Diabolik Lovers: Dark Fate in February 2015. It has been made into various manga, anime, drama CDs, music CDs and fanbooks. Three stage plays also ran in August 2015, August 2016, and January 2018.

In February 2020, Rejet announced and launched a new project happening within the same universe as Diabolik Lovers, titled Carnelian Blood (Japanese: カーネリアンブラッド, Hepburn: Kānerian Buraddo) featuring thea 5-man unit called EROSION.

Players take on the role as Yui Komori (小森 ユイ, Komori Yui, - default name), who can choose from a variety of male characters as her love interest. In Diabolik Lovers, every playable character's route is split into three sections: Dark, Maniac and Ecstasy. Each of these three sections is split into a prologue, ten subsections, and an epilogue. There are three possible endings for each character based on her choices.

The games were first brought out on PSP, by the third game they were continued in PS Vita / PS TV format, the first two games were soon also brought out in this format. In 2017 it was announced the first three games would be brought out on PlayStation 4. In 2018, a new game titled Diabolik Lovers: Chaos Lineage was announced and released in March 2019 on the Nintendo Switch.

Thus far seven games have been released:

The main heroine, Yui Komori, is just a normal teenage girl in high school until her father, a priest, travels overseas for work. As a result, Yui is sent to a new town and arrives alone at a mansion which will be her new home. Nobody greets her, however, the door swings open on its own accord. Yui finds a handsome young man sleeping with no heartbeat on a couch. To her shock, he awakens, and five other young men gradually appear. Yui discovers that all six of them are brothers, but by three different mothers, and that they were all vampires from the very beginning.

After living with the Sakamakis for a month, Yui starts to have strange dreams and apparitions regarding a mysterious "Eve". One night, on their way to school, the brothers and Yui get involved in an unexplainable fiery car crash. The next day, four vampire brothers come to the house and kidnap her. What will happen with the Sakamakis? Will she come back?

An anime adaptation was first announced at a 2013 event called the "Rejet Fes 2013 Viva La Revolution". During the "Otomate Party 2013" event later that year, it was announced that the adaptation would be directed by Atsushi Matsumoto and produced by the Zexcs studio.

The second opening is "Kindan no 666" performed by Ryōhei Kimura and Daisuke Kishio. The DVD contained several mini dramas depicting events that occurred to the Sakamakis off-screen during the anime.
