History TearJerker / ZekkyouGakkyuu

** The two-parter ends on a happy tearjerker, when it reveals that Rui didn't die from the jump and has been in a coma for the past five years. And ''then'' she wakes up, with the ghost having merely taken five years of 'her future' as payment, and we last see Rui and Kei embracing.

* ''The Ocean is Calling''

* ''The Bus to the Underworld'' has Miku talk to a handsome man called Hayato, who lends her an encouraging ear and seems happy with his life because his girlfriend is pregnant -- but he reveals that death tore them apart. When the bus stops, he insists that Miku stay on because she has her whole life ahead of her. After Miku wakes up, she learns that she has been in a coma for three days... and that her grandmother died during that time. Then she notices a new picture has been put up and recognizes Hayato: he was her grandfather, who died at a young age and never even got to see his daughter being born. And he was only boarding the bus ''now'', decades after his death, so he could head into the afterlife [[TogetherInDeath with his girlfriend]].

* ''The Money Tree'' has Akane crying for her missing parents in front of the titular tree, saying that she doesn't need money anymore and all she wants is to see them again. Then the tree's roots grab hold of her and pull her under, where she joins her parents among the skeletal remains of those used to give the tree its nutrients.

** The twist ending. It appears that Natsumi is actually [[DeadAllAlong dead]] and has to leave her happy purgatory to move on -- quite the opposite. She is merely in a coma and awakens, only to learn that the bus accident she and her class were in was real... but that she is the [[SoleSurvivor only survivor]].

--> '''Nakatani:''' Sorry, that I couldn't keep the promise I made at that time...

* ''The Bus To The Underworld.'' Oooooh boy...[[spoiler: After Miku tries to return home from her grandmother's house by the sea, she's picked up by the titular AfterlifeExpress and meets an attractive young man named Hayato, who says he's on the bus to meet his wife. Hayato spends the entire bus ride giving Miku a listening ear, some encouraging words, and tells her not to leave the bus when it reaches its destination, as she's got her whole life left ahead of her. When Miku refuses to leave the bus, she wakes in her grandma's house and learns she's been asleep for days...and her grandma has died. After spotting a photograph in the house and learning who it is, she realizes: Hayato was the ghost of her grandfather, who never even got to see his daughter born, and he was only ''now'' boarding the bus so he could greet his wife and go ''together with her.'']]
** Miku [[spoiler: telling her grandmother to "[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck off]]!" Her grandmother was ''trying to help her'' by getting her the number of her crush so that she wouldn't say life was boring, and Miku treated her like crap. The hurt on her face makes it worse, and this is ''before'' we find out that [[FridgeHorror that was the last time she saw her grandmother alive, meaning she now has to live with that for the rest of her life]].]]
* The twist ending to ''The Ocean Is Calling.'' [[spoiler: While it looks like the protagonist is DeadAllAlong, she's not...she's in a coma, and is the sole survivor of the accident that killed her entire class. At her crush's insistence, she wakes up in the living world, and finds a bracelet he'd slipped her before the accident, without her knowing. The bracelet was meant to be his way of confessing. In the end, the girl and her family pay one last visit to the sea, the girl smiling and bowing before an apparition of her crush.]]
** Making it even more sad, [[spoiler:its revealed that the protagonist survived drowning when the bus fell into the ocean because her crush helped her climb out a window. She refused to leave him, but he got her to go by promising he'd be right behind her. He ended up dying with the rest of the class.]]
* ''The Slit-Mouthed Woman'' as well. [[spoiler: Akimiya, a genuinely kind-hearted teacher brutalized by her class and driven insane becomes the titular monster who stalks the streets for children. What makes it a tear-jerker is that she was a such a sweet and caring person who was frequently bullied by female students, but kept on because she loved children. The special reveals she's scared off by large groups of kids, which makes it worse when you recall how she was victimized...]]
* Pretty much ''all'' of ''Hell's Clock.''
* The crap poor Kiyama gets put through during the events of ''Scarecrow Teacher'' [[spoiler: simply because [[DisproportionateRetribution she told one of the girls to stop worrying about her figure (when said girl {''the protagonist'', by the way}had given herself a cold to lose weight) and they all got mad and treated her like dirt]]. At one point she tries to call them on their actions, and their response is to just tell her to go away. Their treatment eventually drives the teacher to apologize to ''them'', which is what they wanted. At this point, it's a freaking ''relief'' when the scarecrow punishes them all.]]
