FLCL/Tear Jerker


 * There's no way this troper is the only one who needs to lie down for a while at the end of FLCL.
 * Ditto here, before the mood whiplash (yet oddly fitting for this moment) of the credit song Ride on a Shooting Star.
 * The manga is one hell of a tearjerker.
 * The ending itself makes you want to cry when
 * From episode 6, after Haruko's return, in Naota's room:
 * Naota (to Haruko, crying into her chest):"Where did you go!? You left without saying anything!"
 * Not at all helped by the ambiguous expression on Haruko's face at the time. It's impossible to tell if she actually cares about Naota or if she's just using him.
