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...

Psychological Manga Collection Part (1)

https://myanimelist.net/stacks/7732

Manga set largely outside East Asia, but on Earth.

From Renaissance artists and lovers to Italian restaurants and modern Italian slice of life to ancient Rome - these manga are all set in Italy!

Please let me know if I have missed any hidden gems.

Works based on Shakespeare's Italian set plays are in a different list.

With gratitude for contributions from kihel.

Thought proving manga that will leave you feeling hollow or wanting for more after you’re done reading them.

A collection of works that emphasize children's innocence, naivety and vulnerability exposed to the harsh reality they find themselves in. Tragedy does not limit itself to death, but extends toward theme of emotional abuse, exploitation, psychological trauma, environmental conditioning and whatnot.

Caveats:

• Some entries contain explicit materials, including gore and sexual content.
• Manga formats vary from one-shot, anthology, short and full-length series.
• If there are suggestions, I'll include it in regardless of not having read yet.

97. Filament - has the one shot "Misaki de Bus wo Orita Hito" which is the real N. 97.

100. Cardcaptor Sakura: Master of the Clow is the actual N. 100 aka the last 6 volumes of the original Cardcaptor Sakura manga.

Stories featuring characters whose physical abilities are extended beyond normal human limitations by mechanical elements built into their body.

Only Manga concluded as of creation.

This list will always be in alphabetical order.

If the ratings on my profile tell you nothing else it should tell you this; I am very a harsh critic. My average for animé and manga are both in the 5's and, considering how many titles I've completed, will likely always be there. If I rate something a 6 or higher I really do think it's worthwhile. So everything in this stack is something I would recommend at least trying.

This stack is for all of the manga that made me or almost made me cry. Just because a series is listed here does not mean it was depressing. Some of these are mostly happy save for that one story or scene which made me well up. All manga in this stack are manga that I have finished and given a rating of 6 or above. This stack will be updated as I find new titles. Make sure you have lots of tissues.

My animé version of this list; https://myanimelist.net/stacks/24502

Anime that are adjacent to Trigun or what many Trigun fans are (or might be) into as well (personal guesses to be honest so take this list with a grain of salt)

The psychological genre is one that has boundless freedom in exploring it's themes, since the topic of human psyche, our behaviour and mind's patterns are something far too personal and individual.

The works that are part of this genre are conceived to kindle their reader's contemplation - about themselves, of the world presented in the story, as well as our own, and how shockingly similar or different they appear to be.

As well as that, this genre is usually focused on exploring two general types of personalities - ones that are seeking their true self, their place in this world and the significance and worth of their existence. The other usual psychological profile is one that is already established, presenting us an image that starts to crumble bit by bit, their core values degrade and all they're left with is a husk of their former selves, devoid of emotion, empathy or will to exist.

Besides the psychological portraits, the reader can find a lot of abstract concepts and subtle symbolism, which enhances the experience. Often times the art can be radical, provocative and avant-garde, or nuanced and subdued, but in all of these works, it does strives to accomplish one thing - to provoke us to think outside the box, to present us worlds or people that are inherently broken, but which has their importance and meaning, and which are not afraid to challenge our currently established worldviews.
