“I GUESS I WANT TO CRY TODAY” MOOD

Mixed genre of things that I’ve stumbled across and have made me either sad/cry/depressed or all of the above the very first time I read them. 

There's a lot of tragedy, but not all of these end on a sad note :'-)

some of my reviews contain spoilers so be warned

I'll add more/reviews when I have time

Bradherley no Basha

Complete
Author(s): samura hiroaki
Genre(s): Adult / Drama / Historical / Mature / Tragedy

Every year, Lord Nicola A. Bradherley, one of Europe's most leading aristocrats, sends his coach round to various orphanages to adopt little girls and train them to join his opera troupe. But most of these girls never make it onto the stage...

It might be an acquired taste, but thought it was a good read. It's dark and grueling themes, made me feel pretty empty after reading it all.

Two children unexpectedly meet in the midst of war and come across a long empty road. W/ no adults to rely on, they walk side by side to see what's at the end of the road. All they hope is to keep being able to move forward.

The irony of the description ending. I'm going to pretend that this story ends at ch 16 pg 36...bc why, but this story was very beautifully written and really puts wartime tragedies into perspective.

premise in the title "Your lie in April" About a piano prodigy and a free spirited violinist

I read this while this was still ongoing, not knowing this would end in tragedy. This was one of the very few stories that I really wished did not end the way it did. And that's why it's so sad bc everyone was rooting and expecting that happier ending.

I remember first reading this as a oneshot, and it was later serialized and later adapted. Really glad this story became more popular bc it really is well deserved. This is a story that made me cry bc I can never wrap my head around bullying, But glad it ended on a happy note.
