I'm browsing through the tragedy, but nothing seems appealing to me for some reason. It's all spinning around now, so I though maybe I could ask for some suggestions?

I guess I'm not so much looking for tragedy as a tragic event; however, I'm going to go out on a limb and say tragedy because the tag traumatic past often doesn't show up until several volumes in. So yeah, the tragedy must be either foreshadowed or incoming by one volume (two volumes at most).
For example: I didn't like Kare Kano because of this. I've tried two times and managed to get a little ways into volume five but ended up dropping it.

I don't care if it's romance, mystery, sci-fi, etc. I am very, very desperate. Although...I will have to admit I'm sort of "prejudiced" against gore, BL (GL is fine since I see less of it XD), and manhwa. Feel free to suggest anything under those guide lines, but it's far more likely that I'm not going to read it or drop it if I do. I'm not outright saying I don't want anything under this because I really don't want to miss a thing though. Anything else I will earnestly look at (I might even be convince to take a look at hentai -.- because hey, I'm desperate).

One last thing, I want to cry (that just sounds so weird dead ), but I cry while reading manga pretty easily, so maybe just skip this part.

Thank you. I've read Mars before and heard of Please Save My Earth. I have just one question. Looking at the length, I feel somewhat uneasy so I have to ask, does it drag on? I'll be starting Pieta for now and thanks again!

Eh, not really. Totally depends on how you like the story though. There's a lot of intricate plot and character development... and it's closer to 12 volumes than the "21 Volumes" at the top of the status list I think... it was apparently released multiple times in different sized volumes.

For the two baseball manga, they seem somewhat long, so I'd love it if you could go just a tiny bit more in detail.

I've read both [m]A Lollipop and a Bullet[/m] and Tista before. Bokurano has been on my wihlist for the longest time, so I think I'm finally going to get around to picking that up.

As a side note, if you want to check, my lists are public, but I have already read the Deep Love series, Bitter Virgin, and Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan. I feel like sooner or later somebody is going to suggest these. . .

Try searching for threads with similar demands. They contain a lot of good recommendations although they might not all end in a tragedy:

Manga that made you cry as hell

When I said 'death' before 'dishonor', I meant alphabetically.

Imagine what would happen if there were no more hypothetical situations.

I also really recommend Hana to akuma I cried soo much, it's so sweet T^T
Boku no hatsukoi o kimi ni sasagu some people found it kinda dragt on but it just depends on it if you'll like it or not. (I'm totally not one of them >_<)
the "Deep Love" series of Yoshii Yuu is kinda extreme(?)
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
I didn't cry because Ayu (main character) was so strong that i just couldn't cry. But I wanted to cry so hard. It made my really depressed I wanted to curse everything and everyone...
