History TearJerker / Genshiken

% * ZeroContextExample

* The end of the ''{{Genshiken}}'' manga. The second-to-last chapter is the worst, actually, because it's one extended silent scene showing the whole group together for what'll probably be the last time in a long time.

* The [[spoiler:"lame excuse for a confession" of Madarame's feelings for Saki]] in the second part of the story. But she [[spoiler:rejects him, and she later seems kinda calm by doing it, but suddenly starts to choke and then burst into tears just by thinking how hurt must Madarame be by that rejection.]] This makes you think that despite Saki [[spoiler:at first being disgusted by otaku culture, and sometimes being selfish and coldhearted, she later starts to really love her friends in Genshiken and would never want to hurt them in any way.]]

* The end of the ''{{Genshiken}}'' manga gets this troper. The second-to-last chapter is the worst, actually, because it's one extended silent scene showing the whole group together for what'll probably be the last time in a long time. [[@/{{Nerrin}} This troper]] relates to ''Genshiken'' (particularly Madarame) pretty strongly, and is absolutely terrified of that day coming when he'll probably never see all his friends together again, especially since it's the first group of friends he's ever felt all that close to.
** The first ED, "Biidama", chokes this troper up for precisely this reason.
* Also, the fact that [[spoiler: Madarame doesn't confess his feelings for Kasukabe for the sake of their friendship, even though in his heart he knows he might never get another chance.]] It's so hard to see him choke back his emotions instead of acting on them.
** And finally there is [[spoiler: the "lame excuse for a confession" of Madarame's feelings for Saki in the second part of the story. But she rejectes him, and she later seems kinda calm by doing it, but suddenly starts to choke and then burst into tears just by thinking how hurt must Madarame be by that rejection. This makes you think that despite Saki at first being disgusted by otaku culture, and sometimes being selfish and coldhearted, she later starts to really love his friends on Genshiken and would never want to hurt them in any way.]]

* Also, the fact that [[spoiler: Madarame doesn't confess his feelings for Kasukabe for the sake of their friendship, even though in his heart he knows he might never get another chance.]] My god, Madarame is my favorite character, so to see him choke back his emotions instead of acting on them...
