I have no idea how the manga are in comparison to the animes but air, kanon, ef and clannad. I have no idea how the relation in sadness is from anime to manga but the animes made my cry and I'm a guy who can count on 2 hands how many times he's cried from non physical pain.

Currently Reading: Gave up counting after 100 Manga...
Currently Watching: everything

I would suggest the mangas
Taiyou no Uta
Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan
Hotarubi no Mori E - the 2nd story
Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo - Tokikake

Holy shit on a pancake..

I LOVE ALL OF YOU.

Oh does he!! that is awesome, another Chika-like character would be awesome though I thought it his next girlfriend would turn out to be the opposite of Chika. Well scanlations might be coming up soon since I saw men's kou on some scanlator group's upcoming projects. I believe it was transcendence.

Angel Beats--best anime of the 2010 spring season

try immortal rain it's got pretty much everything (romance, comedy, action, and tragedy) and the art work is pretty good^^

No one mentioned Shin Angyo Onshi? Although to be fair you did say no depressing stuff. Give it a try maybe you'll like it. Definitely have you feeling for the characters it will especially in the middle...

Banana Fish has a good mix of serious, heart wrenching plot, action and light hearted banter

Sanctuary is a great read for making you care about the characters.

Also try
Angel Sanctuary
Let Dai - It is shounen-ai but don't let that put you off, there is no gay sex and it's definitely very emotional.
Asian Beat

Hope this helps.

The pen is mightier than the sword...and considerably easier to write with.

I believe in letting people do as they wish, as do I myself. Sometimes, of course, what I wish to do is kill them and they do not wish to die. This gives life interest.

If anime is okay as well, try 5 Centimeters Per Second.

lovley complex (the manga and the anime, but not the live-action)

Strobe Edge - The situation as well as the way the female protagonist handles herself is heartwarming... or should I say heartbreaking.
Nodame Cantabile - The relationships are heartwarming
The One - The romantic moments in this one simply makes me melt

I need a die with 2 sides.

That's known as a "coin".
