Black Butler (manga)/Tear Jerker


 * After that particular piece of nastiness, Ciel's grasps at redemption were pretty sad to see. "Would you like an orange, sir?"
 * The whole end of the circus arc was this.
 * In chapter 44, watching Maylene and Finnian's breakdown after it seems to seriously and completely dawn on them that  is utterly heartbreaking.
 * The final episode of anime season 2 which is either a Bittersweet Ending or an outright Downer Ending.
 * "Red is... your favorite color". SOB.
 * *sniffle*
 * Chapter 57. Elizabeth is about to be "I wanted you to think I was cute, up until the end..." Cut to absolutely heartbreaking shot of Ciel's face.
 * Elizabeth's backstory in chapter 58., but Ciel doesn't know that and is happy to marry just plain sweet Elizabeth, and she promises to be a wife he can protect. Then when Ciel returns with Sebastian and she realizes she's now taller than him, she wishes to be a wife to protect him.
 * Chapter 61. When
 * In the anime, Ciel appears downright cruel at times, although in the manga, he is simply just icy and elitist. It's eventually revealed that he was a happy, loving, carefree child before his tenth birthday. Then his parents were murdered, the mansion set on fire, and he was kidnapped. He was locked in a cage with other children his age and eventually was to be a child sacrifice until he called upon a demon in his desperation to live.
 * The scene in Chapter 41 where Ciel straddles Sebastian's supposedly dead body, buries his face in Sebastian's throat and insists his butler was never to leave his side.
 * I know!

The Musicals

 * The end of the second musical. Eric's willingness to do anything to save Alan in itself is pretty tear-inducing, but it gets even worse when
 * Go listen to Unmei from the musical. I'll wait.
