Ai no Kusabi/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The ending. Even though this troper had already known the ending, still cried because of how it all played out. Riki deciding to come back and stay with Iason so he doesn't have to Face Death Alone and their Last Kiss was far more powerful than ever saying the words "I love you" which neither ever say.
    • Katze's Cry Cute after that drove it all home even more coupled by how he had rarely showed any emotion beforehand.
  • For some, Guy's reaction to Riki's secret in the OVA is pure Narm but this troper found it rather heartbreaking not just because of his Manly Tears but Riki's reaction as well. Then how heartbroken Riki looks feeling isolated and lonely after he leaves Guy's apartment.
