reunion (god I’ll always recommend this one because of how good it is with how high it set the standard with such a green forest healthy ml and how it deserves an adaptation in the worst way, shame the original novel was never fully translated into english thus we didn’t get the side stories in the manwha)
falling sheep (holy shit you’re not gonna be ready for the ending since it completely pulls the rug out from under you while saying fuck you and laughing lmao once you understand its meaning and what the story itself was implying the entire time)
I know between the lines is already really popular, but you haven’t read it already please do as prepare for sunshine’s and rainbows at first then be suddenly shoved out the door into angst midway through the story while it’s completely thundering rain outside and poor ml low-key is falling apart with subtle implications like an eating disorder if you pick up on it while still in love with ml agh
also gotta add https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_mountain_branches_dream_of_goblins/
since tldr: mc is heavily implied but not yet confirmed to be the ml’s old beloved flame but reborn, however mc who doesn’t even act like ml’s old flame at all doesn’t have any of the ml’s old flames past memories at all anyway but poor ml is so desperate and devoted to his old flame that he just wants his old flame back and can’t separate mc and his old flame anyway as two different people, it’s really fucking angsty in that regard and makes you feel for ml
yes the plot low-key gets confusing if you don’t pay attention but man is it good anyway
taming the tiger is such a classic if you haven’t read it and like historical stories

if you can handle gore and violence, this one is good but at the same time not for the weak of minds, hence the warning.

gotchu! (again be warned madk is fucking low-key gross and I don’t blame you if you’re like fuck this and drop it pretty fast)
would 1866 be your cup of tea? historical but equally as painful as getting a teacup to the forehead lmao
spring snow odongtong webtoon? short as well but a punch to the balls ending wise with the implications
release your persona? not ‘fully’ sad per say but once the plot twist happens then you’ll be like oh..! fuck okay I get why mc did what he did now and why ml acts the way he does too, but hey happy ending!
if you’re okay with something a little long still, dance with the devil will make you actually cry with how sweet and heartbreaking the ending is.
Hi, here are some sad manga:
Oldie but goodie https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/sakura_gari/
Not really manga but short (just 20 ch) https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/lifeless_man/
One of my faves but bring tissues https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/toumei_na_ai_no_utsuwa/
Mistreated youth https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hanbun_ageru/
Hope you find something that makes you cry!
P.S. in my opinion Shutline is not that great; it's one of those manhwa that starts interesting but ends up being fwop fwop town with the plot buried underneath all the corporal fluids. Expecially reading it in progress you lose the plot, maybe it's better to read it when finished.
That's just my experience, you do you!

I NEED SAD BL MANGA RECS THAT WILL HAVE ME CRYING AND THROWING UP
Also should I read shutline like is it worth it I don't wanna waste my time reading almost 100 chapters with some sloppy plot and the uh interesting artsyke but if it's peak then I don't mind :3
