Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Towards its end, the manga version of Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro pulls out all the stops. Sasazuka's death at the hands of Sicks, Honjou's suicide, Yako's subsequent breakdown and the death of X shortly after he finally regains his memories of Ai. It's really hard to choose which is worst.
    • Don't forget Sai's last transformation being Sasazuka and his "I don't regret anything" speech.
  • The look on Higuchi's face when he sees that his parents are dead. To elaborate, as a child Higuchi's parents became complete shut-ins thanks to being obsessed with an MMORPG. In an attempt to get his parents to get off the computer and spend more time in the real world, Higuchi decided to hack into the game's system and crash the whole thing. Unfortunately his parents were so invested in the virutal world that they ended up Driven to Suicide. The final Mood Whiplash that ends the flashback was the tipping point for this Troper.
