What makes me want to cry is when I think back on clannad after story. Anyway I finished Air the other day, pretty weird story to understand. Another sad ending.
Feng shen ji comes to mind in that respect. Been reading up on Magician and Kubera, if someone could point me in the direction of something similar to them it would be much appreciated as im approaching the current chapters for all three of them and i need something else to read while im waiting for updates.
I read somewhere that the anime was better and has more emotion and feeling but that's because its clannad. Once you get to clannad after story you need to see the anime first, either way you're probably still gona shed a few tears.
