I'm not too sure. A lot of series have drawn a tear from me ... often they can reflect too intense emotion other than sadness -- I get too tied up in stories (in the past 10 years, every time I played through Final Fantasy 6 or Chrono Trigger, I cried).

I guess I'm writing to express solidarity with some of the people who picked scenes that they thought were completely lame because I was pretty shaken by some of those scenes too (e.g., in Naruto or OP).

The only scene/set of scenes that I can remember reacting to with some sadness (there were a lot of other emotions there as well -- like, "ah, that is really cute") was

Naru being deserted by everyone at the end of the main storyline, though the flashback of childhood made it an emotional scene for me in LH, though I'm almost certain A LOT of other stories have made me feel sadder, but can't recall them at the moment.

Gah, anything where one of the lovers dies, I find heartbreaking.

They're all usually labeled with "Tragedy." =)

If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

From a bumper sticker I like:

Quote from ReaderM

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle

The scene where we first find out that Syaoran is a clone in the Tokyo Arc and how he turns against all of them

Its even sadder that:

The clone Syaoran wasn't even bad, and ended up dying anyways.

T_T ahhh i know!!! [i was gonna say both of them]
ummmm...oh another one!

the time when C|syaoran accidentally stabs C|sakura. when she died, he gets all mad...]

so many parts in naruto, can't count.
massive spoilers~!

Haku, Zabusa, Jiraiya, itachi's death. Naruto's past. In recent chapters, Hinata's confession to naruto gave me a sad pang. That's all that floats in my mind about sad naruto parts.

In Hajime no ippo, one episode where

ippo lost to eiji. You tried so hard, ippo! ;_; clenches fist

The OVA Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal.
saddest piece of animation ever created. ;_;

y'know, everything leading up to tomoe's death. ;_;

Endings of:
Chrno Crusade
Code Geass R2
Ai no Kusabi OVA
Winter Cicada OVA
Wolf's Rain

And i think it was episode 23 of Casshern Sins. ;_;
Just some episode before the last one. It was really sad and touching.

I know its an anime, but that scene in Saint Seiya Sanctuary when the two Athena exclamation collide:

Ioga: "Master Camus... Watever they say, I dont believe you joined Hades..."

Shiryu: "I agree Shura. You, the excalibur protector, Athena´s faithful saint... They are wrong!"

I dont remember Shun, sorry.

Seiya: "Mu, Milo Aioria. I know your position as Gold Saints, but we cant allow this... we all are Atena saints!"

That scene always break my heart. Hurt your friends, your brothers, in name of an ideal 😢

Still here...

i think when Toujo separate with Manaka under falling snow in Ichigo 100%, that really heartbreaking scene 😢

1. Ending of Pita-ten
2. Ending of Absolute Boyfriend
3. I can't remember the title... But it believe it was a oneshot in Beauty is the Beast, (or something)

There was a black plague during this time which kills dozens of people at a time and it was continuous, repeating every so often. There were also cows who had human DNA transplanted into them (which is very undramatic in words) and were basically - real humans. Humans did this so they could preserve beef and some cows enjoy giving their lives to give people happiness, while one boy-cow (main character?) rebelled, because after his father told him that he enjoyed nothing more than to see people enjoy beef, he was served to the son of their owners. The boy bumps into the son, and they become best friends and the son stops eating beef. One day, the black plague strikes the son and at this time, a disease also passed through the cows, wiping them all out except the boy because he lived indoors with the son. The best thing to cure the black plague however, was cow liver. They kept it a secret about the ordeal, but the son finds out because there was a corroded key in his purchased through the black market cow liver that the boy ate a long time ago while they were playing around

😲 eh? I just had to add it 🤣 it might give me a chance to see if anyone knows the series without posting up a new topic. 😀 😀 😀

the ending of code geass. im not even gonna think about it. it was way too sad

Hughes in FMA. 'Nuff said.

well, it's been a long time since the last post that i've made..

but with that long break, here's the new "heart breaking moments" that i'v encountered while reading manga:

Love Hina

the last part during the wedding of Naru and Kei

Kimi no Iru Machi

when Haruto Kirishima was dumped by Nanami Kanzaki

Nodame Cabtabile

when Nodame lost the Piano competition

Piano no Mori

When Kai lost the competition and when the Piano in the forest broke down

Mel Kano

when Hal broke up with Kakeru

and here's one, the one that i'm waiting what will happen next:
Air Gear

when Ringo kiss Ikki in the lips...

when Ringo told Ikki that she loves him

when Ikki promise Simca that they'll run together after the tournaments end

well, i still have my work, so i'll just post more when i return...

Ras tel ma scir magister Veniant Spiritus Aeriales Fulgurientes!! Cum Fulguratione Flet Tempestas Austrina, Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens!!!

Kare Kano's flashback of Arima's childhood. I cried while reading the entire chapter. 😢

__ I'll have what she's having... please~♥

I agree with Zettai Kareshi and FMA, but I would like to add Haou Airen.
The church scene was terribly unexpected, for me anyway (didn't realize it was a tragedy until after the fact >.<)

I agree with some that have been posted already... I didn't read all the posts so I might be repeating this but one I remember right now is the ending of Tista. The last few pages really got to me.

When Arty went to visit her and the school at the end.

Renri no Eda - when the girl dies and her boyfriend can't get to her because he is also sick and about to die

Actually it's from X-Day Of Setona Muzushiro called The Last supper. It made me cry, too.

As for me, there are many 'favorite' heartbreaking moments in manga. I have such a bad memory that I can't list all of them here 😀 . I cried EVERY TIME I read the scene when Chouji in Naruto was knocked down and almost died. Then came the moving flashback and the butterfly. I thought he would never appear again, however he survived!!! Maybe fans made Masashi do so 🤣 .
And the death of Ageha in Basara (sorry can't use URL) 😔 , he's my all time favorite character I can't help crying accepting he's really gone.He did so many things for people around but couldn't get a happy ending for himself. Poor Ageha. And the chapters called " Don't cry with the moon" in Koucha no Ouji, the scenes where the main character disappear in Hotaru no mori (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=3295) and Kon no Ki Konoha (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=28924) (they're almost the same) , the one-shot White cloud (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=6993) ..... 🙁

You keep running, running while
You don't notice
There's something new my heart's discovered
I'm still falling,falling for you
