These are some sad and emotional manga that have moved me and was able to make me cry. Some of these manga might be completely bleak, some of them have an uplifting tone to them. Hopefully it can strike a chord with you as well.

I will mark the ones I personally highly loved and recommend if you want a good cry with a “🖤”.

(If you have any more recommendations, you can comment on my profile and I might give it a read and put it on this list)

Manga that Fujimoto Tatsuki (Chainsaw Man author) mentioned in the Magazine Switch. Could be taken as recommendations.

All of these stories center around a main character with depression.

It is revealed or majorly hinted that they have depression within the first few chapters.

Important note: Not all of these focus specifically on depression, but it is almost always a major component of the main character's development.

12/4/22: Added more

Finished manga with less than 10 chapters, but more than one (I have a stack of Oneshots if that’s what you’re looking for!)
I also have stacks for manga with 10–50 and 50–100 chapters!
The only other criteria is that they’re all good manga!

really chill manga

-Manga that breaks people.
-Manga that will make you feel empty rather than making you cry.

Good luck reading them.

Manga that explore loneliness/solitude in significant capacity. This includes social isolation, literal isolation, and so on!

Retracing the steps of a lost loved one. Fulfilling last wishes. Understanding the departed's heart. Grieving, healing, and moving on.

Manga written to make you think, reconsider, or feel a strong sense of pondering.
Typically the characters are also questioning things and have long conversations about many topics.
