Oh gosh... There are a bunch.
Hotarubi no Mori EI cry every single time I read this oneshot. And it's a
oneshot! You cn pretty much expect any of Midorikawa Yuki's works to tug at your heart.

When Gin, brought back to life as a child by a spirit in the forest at the cost of that life being so fragile that he can never make physical contact with a human, keeps a child from falling, and begins to fade. When he grins and tells Hotaru he can finally touch her, I bawled.

So, so many parts, really. A whole bunch of parts in the manga just tore me to pieces, but the end, especially.
Immortal RainThis series is tragedy spelled backwards, I swear it. I can't remember really breaking down while reading it, but I read it for the first time in a bookstore. It's just this chilling sadness that makes you
desperately need to hug something.

Where to begin? Volumes 3 and 4 were just heart-breaking all together. I illogically love the scene in volume 3 when Rain gives Freya the letter he's written, but he hasn't learned to write well enough, so all he's written is her name, over and over. The whole backstory/flashback with Rain, Yuca and Freya at the orphanage is sad and beautiful, because you know how things are going to turn out.
And in a later volume, when Sharem tries to get Yuca/Ys to sleep by giving him sleeping pills, but he awakes later, delirious with incomprehensible flashes of lives he's seen, and wishes for Rain to destroy him... that wasn't sad so much as it was just heart-breaking and wrenching, imagining what the characters were feeling. I would fill up pages with all the parts that really touched me, so I should shut up now...
Nabari no OuTell me that chapter 50 wasn't earth-shatteringly sad. xD Go ahead. I won't believe you. (And chapter 51, and chapter 52...)

Okay, so... I should put this in a spoiler tag within a spoiler tag. It feels too tragically horrible to just be put in one. Yoite has always been my favorite character, along with Yukimi and Miharu, so seeing Yoite finally come to terms with himself when he has so little time left to live, and seeing Yukimi stabbed while making time for Miharu to get away, and on top of that, reading the end of the chapter, with Yoite gone, Yukimi elsewhere, bleeding and incapacitated, and Miharu curled up on the ground in the snow... I recall being utterly in shock. For a very long time.
And chapter 51, when Miharu, though he no longer really remembers Yoite because of his use of the Shinrabanshou, breaks down for the first time and cries, even though he doesn't know why... that just tore open a hole in my stomach. There are a whole bunch of parts throughout the manga that hit me really hard, but those are definitely on top of the list.

This whole collection of oneshots was touching and tear-jerking. Because I'm a sap, the first one made me cry. ;___;
And on the anime side of things... Wolf's Rain, parts of Sola, and a particular bit in Fate/Stay Night broke my heart.
