Depression/Tragedy/Romance Titles

#
Depression: (Story/Location) Titles that contain characters who suffer from depression would fall into this category if this is of significant importance for the storyline.

Tragedy: (Genre) Animes of this type have tragic events as an important part of the story, and usually will show how the characters are dealing with the consequences of that tragedy (more or less successfully). This doesn't necessarily mean the story cannot have a happy ending as the tragedy might occur during the first episodes of even before story begins; as such this category information need not be a spoiler (unless the tragedy were to be a surprise for the audience in a mystery-style show).

Romance: (Genre) Self-explanatory. If the title has a romance story to it, it would qualify.

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora
Buy In a winter when he was in the second grade of the high school, Yuichi is hospitalized because of hepatitis. Soon his condition improves so much that he gets bored and frequently sneaks out of the hospital, for which he's scolded and punished by the nurse Akiko. One day he observes a girl of his age, by the name of Rika, in the east wing of the hospital (where the patients with serious illnesses are said to be located). Fascinated by her beauty (and encouraged by Akiko) he begins to befriend this girl who appears very selfish and capricious at first.
