| Most of what I read consists of high school girls but I don't really mind it. I'm looking for things similar to these: Deep Love - Ayu no Monogatari(Including it's prequels and sequels.) Confidential Confessions Bitter Virgin Life So...who got some? :D ===================== UPDATE! Thanks to some of you I read a few of what you reccommended for me that fit the description. :D Keep it coming! Vitamin Socrates In Love Working on the rest of the recs atm! Bokura ga Ita Boku no Hatsukoi wo Kimi ni Sasagu Kagen no Tsuki Asa mo, Hiru mo, Yoru mo Sad Love Song |

| I believe Manga Fox has all the Deep Love series, and I've heard Socrates in Love is pretty sad. You might want to try that. |
| Thanks a lot you guys. :D I feel like the only one liking this stuff. Sometimes the usual happy endings or characters with perfect lives get old way too fast. |

PandaPuff said: Thanks a lot you guys. :D I feel like the only one liking this stuff. Sometimes the usual happy endings or characters with perfect lives get old way too fast. Fully agreed. And those happy endings are only beautiful because of the depressing ones. Unfortunately I haven't quite broken into the realm of manga yet, so I have nothing to recommend. :\ |
 |
| Well, if you want depressing anime maybe "Air" could help you. It has a lot od drama and it made me cry a lot. You should try it. if you want. ^__^ |
 |
| Well watching Air itself was enough. Indeed that got me teary eyed. Speaking of which I wonder if Clannad will do the same. |
|
| Well, Clannad definitely isn't as sad, but it will reach out to you. At least, that's what it did to me. ^__^; Or maybe I'm just a wimp when it comes to dramatic anime. ^__^;; |
|
| Vitamin is perfect for you and i totally loved it. And if you enjoy yaoi, i rec Boys next door and Cut. |
 |
| Real life. How come everyone is suggesting harem? |

| Eerrr, im not sure if this would help but><" maybe this... 1. Hot Gimmick - maybe, because it was heart-wrenching? and mysteries to unravel 2. Asa mo, Hiru mo, Yoru mo. - i didn't read it yet, but the story seems to be quite similar to Bitter Virgin |
     |
| Well I heard Sad Love Song is pretty sad you should try it. =] Also I watched the anime Bokura ga Ita and it made me cry allot you should check out the manga then because it should have the same effect. |
| HEY! |
| *takes notes* Sweeeeeet. Oh I've read Hot Gimmick, it was very awesome although not sad to me at least. Aeiou said: Cuz sadly thats the majority? Unless you have any bright ideas.Real life. How come everyone is suggesting harem? |
|
| *bump* Need MOAR!!! |
|
| Revival! Just incase anyone has new suggestions. |
|
| Clannad, Kanon, Air. |
 |
| erm..sad? try Mahoromatic.. really sad, and the ending kinda pissed me off in a good way lol |
| Ai-Ren Saikano |
| Honeymoon Salad is a good seinen romance. Not terribly depressing, but still contains a fair share of angst. |
 |
| Try Peach Girl. |

| Ayashi no Ceres- death, drama, angst, yep definately Mars- I haven't read it, but it sounds right on target Additionally: Eternal Sabath Fire Candy Ansty, drama filled, some more depressing than others, but no death: Uwasa no Midori-Kun Hana Yori Dango Anata Ni Oitsukenai Kimi Shika Iranai The Devil Does Exist Penguin Brothers I liked Asa mo, Hiru mo, Yoru mo- though there's no death in it; it is quite angsty, but may not be as heavily depressing as you might like. |
 |
| Hmmm when you say depressing and death can this also be interpreted as like psychological dark type? If that is the case then maybe Gantz? |
| Battle Angel Alita and it's sequel have some good depressive and angst filled drama, but it's not the main focus most of the time, so it might not be quite what you're looking for. It's still a brilliant series though, so do try it out. The instances of depression and angst are quite heavy though, and really influence the main character deeply. Berserk have a lot of death, and some drama and angst here and there. There's also a pretty bleak and depressing mood through most of the series, and the only seemingly "good guys" are corrupt demons themselves. No sunshine here, that's for sure. Though this as well is more focused on gore and battle, and might not be exactly what you're seeking. It's still fabulous though. Ichi The Killer is disturbingly violent and full of angsty madness, and naturally, death. Mirai Nikki is pretty much completely centered around angsty drama. With the female lead being a batshit insane Yanderekko, what can you expect? Lament of the Lamb is very angsty and dramatic, and a bit depressing as well I suppose. Neon Genesis Evangelion Well, it's NGE... Franken Fran may possibly be interesting for you, although it's more of a black comedy (of the blackest sort), it sports large volumes of angst gushing out from Fran's victims patients, along with other body fluids. Aoi Hana Angsty Yuri romance. Expect loads of drama as well. It's not high on death and depression though. Bradherley's Coach is fucking terrible. Depressing and angsty? Hell yes, more than I've ever seen before. Pretty much the most disturbing and depressing thing I've seen if you don't count the accidental guro shit I've come across. You want depression and angst? You've got it. Dead Flowers stroke me as somewhat depressing, but I guess that depends on how you interpret the ending... The Girl's Winter is a quite tragic short. Simple and perhaps a bit cliched, but delightfully so. Hallucination from the Womb is a brilliant collection of various shorts, and none of them are particularly happy. Shadow Star Another pearl of depression and angst from Mohiro Kitoh. Don't let the first chapters fool you, this is pretty depressing stuff. Mohiro Kitoh's Short Stories - Zansho Another collection of shorts from Mohiro, I can't recall exactly whether or not these were particularly depressing and angsty, but knowing the man's style, I can't imagine they weren't. Wings of Vendemiaire is yet another of Mohiro's works, and is a collection of short stories centered around the same theme. A bit weird, but certainly quite depressive. Bokurano is the last of Kitoh's works in my recommendation, and while I haven't read it myself, I do know it's quite depressive and angst filled. Drama and death too I'm sure. Hiroki Endo's Tanpenshu is another collection of shorts, and while not all of them are depressing, some are. Eden: It's an Endless World is very realistic compared to pretty much any other manga, and naturally, it has it's fair share of drama and depression as well. The main character however, is not a very emotional man, and doesn't really display his depression outright. However, the characters and the story is one of the best I've seen in any manga, so it's definitely a recommendation. Expect unexpected sudden deaths of important characters as well. What a Wonderful World features different stories from different protagonists, and they're all rather realistic, though with a slightly depressing edge. Asano Inio is a master of bringing out realistically depressive stories. Solanin More Asano here. Solanin contains drama, angst and death, and a brilliant portrayal of the feeling you get when you have no idea what to do with your life. Nijigahara Holograph is less realistic than it's brothers, but does not cut down on the depressive feel. |

| Thanks guys! Some of what you say are not what I'm looking for or I read/watched it already. NGE is not my cup of tea. I didn't like it. |

The original series' ending didn't really give you that much >__>' And EoE is even more full of angsty drama and death. |
| Try Elfen Lied. It has everything you asked for |
