Kodomo no Jikan/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Backstory of the death of Aki, Rin's mother in Kodomo no Jikan (squicky as the series can be). The scene with Rin kneeling beside her dead mother, who is covered in paper origami kranes that Rin folded in the hope it would help her recover is truly heart-wrenching.
    • It's even worse when you read it online--the scene in question takes up two pages, so when you click on the image to skip to the next page... it zooms in on her face. Twice.
  • Call this troper crazy, but she tears up during the first season's OP, when Rin looks at Aoki and the spirit of her mother appears. * sniffle*
