Like about unrequited love, love-that-cannot-be, death of loved one or even death of a dream. Doesn't need to end with tragedy, but it has to have sad ambiance throughout the manga. Like Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan? Nothing dramatic though. Preferably poetic. Thank you very much 🙂 g5d68
Edit: I'm fine with any genre

Sad, melancholy, beautiful. Amazing art.
Yasashii Sekai no Tsukurikata
Innocent and hopeful at times, serious at others. Features unrequited and forbidden love and isn't very dramatic.

How should I put it... maybe more than the story itself, I was more put off by a dramatic storytelling? Actually I've read Hoshi no Koe is totally what I'm looking for so thanks a lot. Looking forward to read the rest of your rec.

hmm okay, strangely I'd call the storytelling in watashitachi dramatic while the one in aozora felt more light-hearted, both were kinda tragic though. weeeeeell anyway, I found the thing I was looking for
I hope what I suggested still fits 🙂

I think that Soshite, Hare ni Naru fits. I wouldn't say it's "heartbreaking", but it definitely has a sad ambiance (because of themes like regret, unrequited love, and unexpressed love).
