Kimi ni Todoke has regular, though never excessive, Tear Jerker moments. * All the little moments where Sawako makes friends and earns recognition by being herself, whereas a lesser story might require her to get dolled up or force herself to act happy. * Any time Sawako cries is bound to get you teary-eyed at the least. * Season 1, Episode 21,: Three words: "Comfort me, Ryu..." * The end of Season 2 when the Official Couple finally gets together. * Chapter 59, when Ayane tearfully realizes that, unlike Sawako and Chizuru, she has never really liked or dated anyone because of love. * Chizuru flat out refused to accept Ryu's feeling in his second confession. * Chapter 63 has the flashback of Ryu's family grieving over the death of his mother.
