Tragedy is a genre of drama based on human suffering and, mainly, the terrible or sorrowful events that befall a main character. In these manga, the Protagonist experiences trauma from war or apocalyptic-like scenarios. These deal with realistic portrayals of the mental and physical effects war has left many lives with as well as those whom are ripped from their lives and may never return again...

Stories that evoke strong emotions and convey one/multiple "moral of the story".

Range from light-hearted cheerful slice-of-life to dark psychological tragedy.

Some are highly philosophical and can shift your perception of life, happiness, morality, humanity, etc.

Survival list that includes manga and manwha. No military drama or mafia flicks.

Psychological drama, occasionally known as dark drama or was related to psychodrama, is a sub-genre of drama that places emphasis on psychological elements. It often overlaps with other genres such as fantasy, black comedy, and science fiction, while the genre is closely related with the psychological horror and psychological thriller genres. Psychological dramas use these genres tropes to focus on the human condition and psychological effects, usually in a mature and serious tone.

Psychological drama explore thematic elements such as abandonment, coming-of-age problems, denialism, disability, distorted sequences, dysfunctional relationships, human sexuality, mental disorders, mood swings, odd behaviors, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychological abuse, psychedelic art, social issues, and other serious discussions that unlikely centers themes turn more focused on both issues of the character's life and reality.

The joke here is communication about these is kinda weird unless specified that the response itself is the title.
"What's your fav manga?"
> Undecided.

Or if someone tuning in to a conversation between weebs would be extremely confused about it either by controversy or u sounding illiterate af:
> "My favourite manga is In Hand"
> "I love Children" ☠️☠️


I will also include series that are difficult to search and result in the complete opposite. eg;
Searching "Goth manga"
> The manga itself doesn't show, only images full of Misa Amane lmfao

The Masked Man is an American YouTuber who makes videos primarily about manga, but also anime, and very occasionally video games. He does in-depth analysis on the subjects he talks about. Here is his top 50 manga.

NOTE:-
"Fata Morgana no Yakata: Anata no Hitomi wo Tozasu Monogatari" is not manga, its a Visual Novel.(https://vndb.org/v12402)
Consider this list from Beserk to OPM to be the actual manga list.

Daily Pass Originals is the binge release model by the licensor WEBTOON where they release a finished series all at once. The bulk of the series can only be read on their app, where users can either temporarily unlock one chapter a day (hence 'daily pass') or pay to permanently unlock the chapters. Ongoing Daily Passes have the same lock limitations but are instead published weekly (like a regular release), and usually the final chapters must be paid for. The ongoing ones of the latter variety can be found in this stack: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/7255

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/23127

WEBTOON also converts completed series, which originally didn't require unlocking, to the Daily Pass format, but this list is focused on series that were Daily Pass from the start.

Not on MAL

Pay variety: Double-Binded By Love; Mythical Errand; Romantic Flow; The Distance Between Us; The Duke's Teddy Bear; The King and the Paladin; The Hidden Man; Witch's Workshop

Manga that pose philosophical questions to the reader in low stake settings. The best manga of this genre are able to do this in an unpretentious way; conjuring up the feeling like:-
- a dazed shower thought
- taking a long walk at sunset and pondering the why.
- child like curiosity of the world
- things that make you go ‘Hmmm’.

tags: philosophy, existential

I tried putting the ones that you can try finish in a sitting.

This stack also includes manga that are not listed as "Psychological" in mal database but they still have psychological elements in them E.g. Shoujo Fujuubun.

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)
