When this trope is in effect, Real Men don't cry, no matter what. Not while facing the camera at least. In older anime, stolen food or a slap may still evoke Ocular Gushers, but tears of sadness would always come from well-hidden eyes or as a Sparkling Stream of Tears over a man's turned shoulder or even in a spontaneous downpour of rain. Sometimes it's passed off as only sand in their eyes. Sometimes the man will flatly deny crying, even as he's doing so. There is a single exception: one single tear is allowed at the retirement ceremony of his favorite sporting icon.
Since this involves something not being represented, it may be confusing as to what an use of this trope would look like. To put it simply, any portrayals or discussions of this mindset in media count as an example. It typically comes in two ways:
Pushed by the author: The narrative itself goes alongside this trope. Men won't be shown crying, and if they do, it won't be painted in the same light as women. The Hero is strong, courageous and someone the vulnerable ones rely on, so of course he can't be vulnerable himself. If he cries, it will be Manly Tears, usually over the loss of a loved one. Other (often younger) men may sometimes shed Tender Tears but this is only to reinforce just how strong the Hero is by comparison. If the villain cries, it's for a selfish reason and a sign that he's a Dirty Coward. This is mostly found in Rated M for Manly media.
Pushed by the setting: This is when the narrative wants to teach An Aesop about how It's Okay to Cry. The Stoic, Byronic Hero and Classical Anti-Hero will have to learn that Repression Never Ends Well and stop holding back the tears they hid for so long, often beginning by a Sorrowful Stutter and ending in a Cathartic Crying. Even when the villain cries, it will be Humanizing Tears. However men will often be shamed for weeping (perhaps ironically more often than in the former case) and this is what they will have to overcome.
Unfortunately, this trope often makes some viewers confuse any crying or depression whatsoever from a guy with Wangst, also reinforcing the "men have no permission to ever show feelings other than rage" Double Standard - as viewers are much much more likely to be crying "Wangst" over a male character than a female character. This double standard is also why male characters who are Prone to Tears are much more likely to be comedic than female characters.
On the other hand, a crying man might Take a Third Option and say "He Will Not Cry, so I Cry for Him!".
Compare Men Are Uncultured, Trying Not to Cry.
Contrast Emotional Bruiser, Ocular Gushers and Sparkling Stream of Tears.

Played straight with The Thick of It's alpha male, Malcolm Tucker. In series three there are several moments where Malcolm sounds like he's about to burst into tears, but he never does... not on screen, at least. In episode eight we see him with red-rimmed eyes but as Magnificent Bastards don't cry we never see the crying itself.

The Smurfs: The very manly Hefty Smurf chides his fellow Smurf Weepy for being a sissy for crying in one episode, but at the end of it even he is found crying. Despite this, he has cried before in previous episodes, including "Hefty and the Wheelsmurfer", "Smurfquest" (during Grandpa's Disney Death), "Smurf Me No Flowers", "Clumsy Luck", and "The Abominable Snowbeast".

In the Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Megamax, Gentarou (the titular Fourze) explicitly states that there's only two times a man should cry - losing his wallet and getting dumped. He says this as he's crying because he found out the girl he fell in love with was an alien and may not return those feelings. He gets over himself when he realizes that she never said anything about not feeling the same. When he gets the chance, it's stolen from him and he ends up crying in anguish. It should be noted that he is the primary source of Manly Tears and Inelegant Blubbering in the show. Ironic, isn't it?

Invoked by Heimir in The Northman. He even takes what supposedly is the last teardrop of Amleth to keep till the moment Amleth needs it the most. It's later returned to Amleth by the Seeress to make him remember his oath. In the end Amleth does cry again before the end after killing Gudrun and Gunnar.

Sonic's face was changed in one issue of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) to tone down his tears due to the enforcement of this trope, providing the page image. For context, in a What If? future story, he's crying because he's mourning the fact that his children have been erased from existence.

Referenced in Kid From Kwangtung, when the hero, He Jia-yu, is in tears over the death of his father. His bestie, Wu, instead reminds him that he's a man, and the girl of their team, Chen Hsiao-wei, isn't crying even though she just lost her mother. Then again the girl in question is The Stoic.

Whereas in the books he had a "fey mood" overtake him, in the film he fell to the ground howling, sobbing his lungs out as he cradled Éowyn's body in his arms. Thankfully, Éowyn got better.

Sega enforces this with the titular hero of Sonic The Hedgehog. It's extremely rare for Sonic to be depicted crying in canon. Whether it's due to his gender or due to it being Out of Character for his character is hard to distinguish.

Averted in Umineko: When They Cry where most of the men cry when their wife/child/parent is killed. The biggest one is Battler who, despite his joking and tough attitude, is rather emotional and tends to cry a lot, especially in the early episodes.
There is one notable part in the fifth part where George is killed. His mother naturally breaks down, while his father comforts her. Later, while Natsuhi is hiding in the closet of a different room, the father in question Hideyoshi enters and locks the door. He talks to himself for a few moments... before breaking down in tears and collapsing on the bed.

The Simpsons inverts this pretty hard, in that the leading adult male of the series is an incredible Mood-Swinger, and the tears he sheds can't exactly be called manly, either. He cries openly in front of family and friends often, and the extremity of the situation wouldn't even matter: anything from losing his mother, to losing a fictional character he liked, to his neck chafing from a shirt's tag that grazed him is enough to set him off. And, maybe even more impressive, he's rarely (if ever) called out for it by anybody else.

Early in the main story of A3, Itaru cries after feeling the joy of acting on stage with the Spring Troupe, but he says that he is only feeling so warm inside.
Winter Troupe thoroughly averts this, with all of their members being grown-up men and most having cried across the main story. Everyone shed Tears of Joy after winning the act-off against God Troupe and Homare encouraged everyone to just cry their heart out, all while Yuki snickered at "grown men crying." There is also Hisoka crying as he remembered his fallen friend August and reminisced about him with Chikage. Then, when Azuma visited his old family house with Tasuku and discovered the hair comb his brother never managed to deliver as a birthday gift, Azuma began sobbing and Tasuku encouraged him to just let it all out, and Azuma did. Guy also cried after learning that he was a human and not an android. On a more lighthearted side, Homare cries after drinking a little too much, and he is not going to do anything about it because he is an artist and prefers letting his emotions overflow.
The anime has Tsumugi crying when Tasuku told him how much he loved his acting, something Tasuku regretted not telling Tsumugi when Tsumugi failed the God Troupe audition.
Winter Troupe itself is a unit in Mankai Company that especially performs drama and tragedy. The anime shows Michael and Raphael, Tsumugi's and Tasuku's characters respectively, crying in the play during the duel act, and the stage play has Kota, Tasuku's character, sob into Reo's jacket at the very end.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Used during Hughes' funeral, where Colonel Roy Mustang, with his back to the audience and subordinate Riza Hawkeye, comments that it's a terrible day for rain. When Hawkeye says that it isn't raining, he insists that it is as he is shown (still from behind) with a tear stream running down his cheek. When she sees this, she agrees. Armstrong cries all the time, but that's played for laughs...usually.

Harry Potter: The trope is played with in the books as a whole. Hermione is free to burst into tears as the mood takes her, but the boys are generally described as "wiping their faces" or "drying their eyes" (Dumbledore and Lupin both give Harry time to dry his eyes before continuing a conversation). It's not until the final book that men are described as "sobbing".

In The Merchant of Venice Launcelot, the clown, tries to unman his dad by tricking him into crying ("Now will I raise the waters!") and, later, accuses himself of weakness for weeping as he says goodbye to Jessica: "But adieu! These foolish drops do something drown my manly spirit." The more serious characters in the play (Shylock and Antonio) are prone to Manly Tears.

Yugi, the sixteen-year-old protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh!, has a tendency toward Tender Tears. Occasionally Anzu tries to stop him from getting weepy by reminding him that "boys don't cry". Somewhat subverted, as the Aesop of the series was that his kind, soft nature is actually a strength, as it is when he manages to save Jonouchi during his possession by the Arc Villain. Seemingly played straight with his alter-ego, Atem. Atem never cries once in the manga, and in-series is considered the pillar of strength that has inspired Character Development in the others. He occasionally cries in the anime, but this is usually a sign that things have gotten really bad. When Yugi defeats him in the Ceremonial Duel, thus sending Atem to the Afterlife for good, Yugi bursts into tears. Atem tells him "if I were you, I wouldn't cry!" but this seems to be a statement that Atem believes Yugi should be proud of his victory and not regretful that Atem has to leave them.

Tower of God averts this - The moment Ja Wangnan realizes that he won't pass the test, he will never achieve anything all his sacrifices were for naught, and that he will be forced to donate all his organs to repay his debts, he just sits there and cries. Goseng tries to tell him to man up but he simply ignores her.

Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core subverts this with a quote in one of the title screens:
Zack does indeed cry when his mentor dies and later sobs his heart out in Aerith's church. Likewise, Cloud is implied to be in tears when Zack dies, though it's hard to tell due to the rain.
Final Fantasy VII Remake plays with the trope. Cloud is subject to an intense and confusing vision, causing him to spontaneously shed a tear. Cloud is quick to hide his face from a concerned Aerith when she checks up on him, though it seems to be less out of embarrassment and more because he cannot explain what just happened. There are also other times in the game where Cloud looks close to tears, only to close his eyes tightly until he regains his composure and carries on. One thing of note is that in an unlockable cutscene Cloud tells Tifa that there is nothing wrong with crying, suggesting that he does not have a negative view towards tears. Averted later in the game when Barret breaks down after the Sector 7 plate collapse, fearing his daughter may be dead.

Supper Smash Bros: Mishonh From God:
In The REEL Sekwel, this is how Sara rationalizes Ike's change in design between Super Smash Bros Brawl and 3DS/Wii U; he was sad that his ex-girlfriend Lauren underwent a Face–Heel Turn and dealt with the sadness by working out a lot (because that's how "reel mans" deal with sadness).
In the reboot, Sara claims that, instead of crying, men go to strip clubs. This is demonstrated with Roy and Link, who go to one after their girlfriends are brainwashed into becoming lesbians.

Inuyasha:
On one occasion, Shippo is told to man up because of this trope.
On one occasion, Inuyasha is caught crying after his three friends are saved from near death. He denies it on the grounds of this trope.
Sesshomaru never cries for any reason. On one occasion, the situation is so extreme that Jaken cries, saying He Will Not Cry, so I Cry for Him.

In the X-Men: Evolution fanfic XXY:Evolution, where most of the characters are genderbend, Male!Rogue struggled not to cry while running from the X-Men. First when he got Katrina's (female Nightcrawler) memories of her childhood after touching her, and when he realize he can never have a girlfriend because of his powers. But he tells himself he doesn't cry, he's tough and doesn't need anyone. He fights tears again while apologizing to Selena (male Selena) after learning Mysterioss (male Mystique) lied to him.

Just Shoot Me!: Discussed to the point of deconstruction by Jack, Elliott and Finch in "Puppetmaster" as they all tear up watching Brian's Song. All of them lament (after passing it off with some lame excuses) that they can't cry openly, but the other two are weirded out after Elliott tells them he sometimes wishes he's a woman because then he'd be able to. They then start making jokes at his expense over it.

As You Like It plays with this trope: Rosalind, in male disguise, is determined not to "disgrace [her] man's apparel, and to cry like a woman" after she and her cousin Celia are half-dead from walking all day. Mischievously, she adds, "I must comfort the weaker vessel," referring to Celia. Later in the play, there's an Ironic Echo:
This is contrasted by several references to the (actual) guys in the play shedding Manly Tears, most notably Orlando and his brother Oliver after they reconcile offstage.

Averted in the Metal Gear games, where Otacon is contractually obliged to undergo at least one Tear Jerker per game and is quite open about it. Examined in the first Metal Gear Solid, where Snake, after watching Otacon cry for a while, places Wolf's handkerchief over her face. His rationale is that he doesn't need a handkerchief, having 'no more tears left to shed' - both showing that he only got to the point where he can't cry through massive emotional torture and making him implicitly envious of Otacon's ability to show emotion in that way.

The Salamander arc of the Space Adventure Cobra manga started with the assassination of Dominique, Cobra's recurring ally and lover. Cobra is torn with regret when he learns of this and briefly sheds tears — the only time he ever gets that depressed despite losing tons of love interests throughout the series. The anime adapation removes the crying and has him just sit with his head low in shame by a wall while sad music plays.

The Nostalgia Critic:
The Critic said that a man getting in touch with his feminine side makes him a pussy. This was during the beginning of his Top 11 Saddest Nostalgic Moments and he ends up breaking down at all of them.
While reviewing "Baby-Doll" from Batman: The Animated Series, the hosts (CR and Nostalgia Critic) begin to cry over the episode only to catch themselves, cough, and say it makes them want to lift weights.

This trope is reversed in A Brother's Price. Jerin gently chides one of his little sisters, coming to him with a scraped and cut knee, with "Hush, hush, big girls don't cry." This is a world of relatively stoic women and much more tender men, due to males being so rare and thus protected, so while he cries at several points, aside from his very young sisters no women shed tears in this book, not even his wife after he's kidnapped or when she thinks he's dead. She plans to sink to the ground and grieve only after he has been avenged.

Averted by ECW alum Tommy Dreamer, who cries freely when he feels like it and challenges that men who don't cry are not real men. However, sort of inverted in that the things he DOESN'T cry over (like getting his scalp pierced or set on fire or whatever else has happened to the guy in matches) are the same things that would send even the manliest man into a fit of uncontrollable whimpering. Physical pain isn't what gets most people to cry in the first place — it's the emotional buffeting that breaks people down.

Completely averted in Avatar: The Last Airbender. The series isn't shy about letting the male characters weep in moments of intense emotion. Not just any men, either: Iroh, one of the most powerful, badass characters in the series, is unafraid to weep openly many times, once when mourning his lost son, and again when Zuko apologizes to him in the finale. Zuko himself is not considered unmanly either for crying and does so many times without anybody thinking to say he's not supposed to. Aang and Sokka also get their moments, and nobody calls them unmanly for it either. Also averted in the sequel, where Bolin breaks out into full-on Inelegant Blubbering when he sees his crush Korra kissing his brother Mako, just when he was bringing her roses.

Kira Yamato of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is a very sensitive person, and has a number of tearful breakdowns, especially in the beginning. Mu La Flaga tells him to not cry, in an effort to get Kira to "man up" and find the strength he needs to survive. Kira tries, but Lacus later encourages him to cry if he needs to, as she feels that keeping one's emotions bottled up like that does more harm than good.

M*A*S*H averted this nicely, showing several of the male characters (and hardass Margret Houlihan) to be weeping or out right sobbing at different times in the show. The most famous example would be during the movie/finale when Hawkeye reveals why he's been in a mental hospital the whole episode up to that point.

Lost:
Generally averted by the cast, most notably Jack, who frequently cry without there being anything made of it.
Probably justified in that the characters have crashed on a desert island and go through some pretty rough stuff, and the many rivers of freely flowing angst that make up everyone's backstories can only add to reasons someone might want to shed a tear.

In The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps, the cultural norm in the northern lands is that men don't show emotions, never mind crying. Demane is appalled at such ignorance, as where he's from everyone is allowed to cry. When Cumalo, one of his friends in the band, dies, Demane has to stow away his grief entirely or be looked down upon.

In Groundhog Day, after Rita says that the perfect man for her wouldn't be afraid of crying in front of her, Phil responds with "...This is a man we're talking about?" And he himself later completely subverts this trope when he bitterly weeps when he realizes he simply can't save the life of a sick, homeless, old man in his endless loop through time.

In Patton, Patton is the ultimate manly man. He, among other things, shoots at a dive-bombing plane with just a pistol, while standing in its flight path. The soldier that he infamously slapped, for having "shell shock", was crying the whole time he did so. Though in all fairness, Patton didn't slap the soldier because he was crying, but rather that he was in the presence of badly-injured soldiers in the medical tent while he did so.

Izuku Midoriya, the protagonist of My Hero Academia, is a subversion, as he cries more than possibly every other character in the series as the epitome of an Emotional Bruiser. He tries to stop crying in order to promote his image as a pro hero who will always save the day with a smile, but he ends up crying anyways when his friends tell him it's okay to cry when something awful happens.
Considering that his mother engages in as much Ocular Gushing as him, it seems to be a family trait.

To them, a soldier wouldn't cry unless he was (derogatorily) a baby, and a baby can't be in the army... at which point they finally get a good look at the kid and realize he is.

Wakfu: Played with in a flashback Sadlygrove has with his mentor and likely biggest-badass-in-the-series Goultard, who states that Iops don't cry, "and if he did, he'd do it in private where no one can see him." The "played with" comes in because Goultard is denying his own tears when Sadlygrove (who at this point now knows about how he's the mortal reincarnation of the god Iop and by extension he's technically Goultard's father) asks if they're family. Goultard, who as it turns out carries quite a bit of unresolved issues towards Iop, denies both the tears and familial relations.

Sliders: Our heroes ended up on an Earth where women were the superior gender. Professor Arturo loudly voices his disdain, and as a result ends up in a campaign to become mayor of San Francisco. He's later convinced that this is a bad idea and tries to throw his campaign by "pulling a Muskie", referencing Edmund Muskie from above, and breaks into tears at a debate. In a subversion, the tactic gains him an enormous sympathy vote.
Let's not forget about "Cryin' Man" Rembrandt Brown, who could do it at will. His biggest hit during his time with the Spinning Tops was called "Cry Like A Man".

One Piece:
Zoro very much plays it straight. He only cries once, and that was when he was soundly beat by the man he set his life goal to defeat. Zoro has no particular aversion to crying, whether himself or others, he's just a Stoic.
Sanji is a bit of a weird example. He regularly goes into Ocular Gushers for the sake of comedy, but when an actual sad situation occurs (like Usopp's departure and Merry's funeral), and Luffy, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, and Franky are crying their hearts out, he will often stand at the sideline and just look all stoic like Zoro (His departure from the Baratie notwithstanding). But since Sanji is not The Stoic in general, it may very well be because he plays the trope straight and chooses not to show emotion. Subverted throughout the Whole Cake Island arc, where he sheds Broken Tears several times due to the huge Trauma Conga Line he goes through.
Speaking of Merry's funeral, Usopp attempts to play the trope straight in that scene, stating that true men can part ways without tears... only to, as said above, fail miserably in the end.
Played for Laughs in the flashback depicting Oden's perspective of Gold Roger's final voyage. He wrote in his journal that after Roger disbanded the crew and waved his final goodbyes, nobody cried as he left, because the mighty crew of the great Pirate King would never, ever cry. The actual scene, of course, shows every single one of them with rivers of tears and snot running down all their faces.

Deconstructed with Gargantuar Prime in the Plants vs. Zombies fanfic United. Gargantuar Prime, to cope with the grief of losing all his friends and his child, drowns his sorrows in alcohol. Mary-Lou insists that he would only hurt himself, but he refuses to stop, and Mary-Lou has to stop supplying him with alcohol after he hurts his surviving friend. Eventually, Mary-Lou forces Gargantuar Prime to bury his child, and with that, he sees the bodies of his other deceased friends and breaks down crying. He reveals to Mary-Lou that he was taught that crying was inappropriate for a manly man, however, she reassures him that crying doesn't make him any less of a man.

Tim is no stranger to loved ones passing away since his dad died when he was 11 and he learned to cope by just continuing on like everything is normal. But he was caught off guard when Brad complimented him on not showing such girly feelings, which was not the message he wanted his boys to learn. After the funeral, he admitted to Brad that he cried.

Sonic's face was changed in one issue of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) to tone down his tears due to the enforcement of this trope, providing the page image. For context, in a What If? future story, he's crying because he's mourning the fact that his children have been erased from existence.

In Pitch Black Carolyn's death is the only time Riddick shows tears. In The Chronicles of Riddick Riddick is close to tears after Kyra's death. The fact he was in front of a Necromonger army at the time, who were known to assassinate their leaders for showing weakness, might have had something to do with him manfully holding back the tears and turning them into white-hot rage.

Erika and the Princes in Distress : Gender Inverted. When Pita bursts into tears because she almost hurt Prince Aurel by accident, Erika yells at her to stop crying because "girls don't cry".
It's implied that Erika herself used to often be on the receiving end of that statement as well, as Kaylane states the reason people think of her as a weakling is that they still see her as "the little fragile and sensitive little girl who cried a lot".

One challenge on Impractical Jokers requires Sal to teach his "daughter" (played by recurring child actress Ashyer Gibbons) that it's not okay for men to cry. This immediately draws the attention of an elderly navy veteran, who says that of course it's okay for men to cry. Q points out that he's more manly than any of them, so none of the Jokers dispute him.

Transformers: Animated is very ambiguous about this. In the pilot miniseries, Sari uses tears to convince the Autobots to follow her plan. When Bulkhead says her "eyes are leaking", she patiently explains the concept of crying, but the Autobots neither confirm nor deny whether this is also part of their emotional range. Later in the series, we hear Blackarachnia (a Cybertronian with organic parts) sobbing, and see the one-day-old Wreck-Gar tear up in what may or may not be a one-off gag, as the show did similar things before (Bulkhead's jaw fell off completely in one scene and then immediately got it back between shots). Bulkhead repeats the "leaking eyes" line at Sari later, and it's unclear if that's an inside joke between them or if his species genuinely cannot cry like humans can.

Sonic (amazingly enough) cries at the very end of the second season finale of Sonic X, presumably over the inevitable prospect of leaving Chris. The viewer never sees either his eyes or face directly. The writers don't believe it's in Sonic's personality to cry openly as in general (but particularly in this series), as the character is supposed to be The Stoic. There was actually some flak for this at the end of a later series wherein some fans were disappointed by Sonic's inability to react after they were forced to kill Cosmo, as expressing his emotion at the event and his role in it would have been out of character.

Inverted on Jimmy Two-Shoes, when Heloise goes Sweet Polly Oliver to find out about Jimmy and Beezy's list of "Secret Guy Stuff", one of them is crying at a sad movie. When she expresses disbelief that this is guy stuff, they respond "Heloise never lets us cry...unless it's from pain."

Pushing Daisies: Played fairly straight in the second season opener (source of this page's quote). Even Ned, usually gentler and more empathic than Emerson (albeit deeply, deeply repressed), nods in agreement.

One-Punch Man: The Stoic King never shows any expression at all, except possibly contempt. As it's a façade he keeps up due to being sent against giant monsters with no combat ability, we see him break down into Tears of Fear when he's alone.

Somewhat averted when Kurt Angle cried when receiving a gold medal in the Olympics, but then Played for Laughs whenever it's been called back to in his pro wrestling career. In addition to being mocked by Triple H, Angle has also turned into a crying mess in at least one (possibly more) in-ring kayfabe re-enactments of his medal ceremony which he has done to soothe his own ego.
Angle turned it around during a 2001 segment in which he kidnapped "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and ordered him to cry, threatening to throw him off a bridge if he didn't.

Digimon Fusion plays with this trope to establish Cutemon's character. At the beginning of episode 28, he reprimands Zenjirou for crying, claiming that "boys shouldn't cry." Towards the end of the episode, he must make the decision between staying with his parents (with whom he had recently reunited) or continuing to travel with Xros Heart. Choosing the latter, he tries his best to retain the notion of this but is convinced that it's okay to shed Manly Tears upon bidding farewell.

In Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, this takes the form "A gentleman never makes a scene in public." Despite this, both Layton and Luke each cry at one point. For the former, the reason is his love having to leave to die, and for the latter having to leave Layton because his family is moving away.

Averted by Battlestar Galactica (2003), and not through the use of Manly Tears. At one point, William Adama goes down to Galactica's morgue. He sees the corpse of the Sharon model that shot him, and softly asks, "Why?" Then he just collapses to his knees and starts sobbing. And of course there's his epic breakdown years later when his best friend is revealed as a cylon and basically volunteers to be executed as a traitor/hostage. After trashing his own cabin, Bill has to be carried to bed by his son as he sobs his eyes out over how fracked up the whole situation is

Pokémon: The Series: "Bye Bye Butterfree" has the main character shed a single tear, though his face is hidden at the time. During sad scenes in early episodes, Ash would frequently, at least try to, hide his eyes with his hat, while the viewer sees the tears hitting the ground. Ash seems to be doing this less since Johto though. He just breaks out in tears, barely even trying to cover it. His counterpart in the twentieth movie didn't have this trope from the start. The girls on the other hand have no such reservations.

In Little Busters!, Kyousuke's Leitmotif is named 'Boys Don't Cry' and near the end of the game he encourages Riki to keep up his strength and not cry anymore, but otherwise this trope is actually averted. All but one of the male characters cry not-so-manly tears at some point (including Kyousuke), and Riki himself cries many times, even after he becomes stronger and Kyousuke tells him not to. Of course, given the kind of game it is, only the hardest of hearts could blame them.

The Bolt Chronicles: Subverted in "The Wind," where Bolt is described as being a character who takes pride in being a bit of a tough guy, which includes his not crying (something he rarely does in this series). Despite this, he sobs uncontrollably after listening to the Derek and the Dominos album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, most of whose selections contain lyrics about lost love, after his girlfriend runs away to the city.

Invoked by name in the lucha film La Venganza de la Momia. After the title monster kills a boy's grandfather, El Santo tells the boy to finish crying, because he's a man now, and men don't cry. (Probably justified for a 1970 Mexican film ... but considering Santo's talking to a character played by a seven-year-old, it still seems off.)

In the South Park episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die" the eponymous character's favorite band, Radiohead, witness him crying over the deaths of his parents. They note that everyone has problems and he doesn't have to be a little crybaby about it, dismissing him as the most uncool kid they ever saw. To be fair, they didn't know about that; they thought he was crying just because he was dying from cancer.

Subverted in Inheritance Cycle. After having killed soldiers invading Carvahall, Roran is shown as being racked by sobs. Other strong characters are shown to cry as well.
Then there's Eragon himself, who cried no fewer than sixteen times in the first book. Considering the book is about 500 pages long, that's around once every thirty pages.

Powerfully averted in Jacob's Ladder, when Jacob starts crying when he sees a picture of his deceased son. His then-girlfriend is the one to uphold this trope when she throws it out, stating that "she doesn't like things that make him cry." However, this may be less this trope and more wanting to spare someone painful memories - though as the ending showed, it was probably just her trying to loosen one more attachment to his life.

Elfen Lied:
Subverted when Kouta realizes how he's handled Nyuu's problems was probably dangerously misguided, and she's just been taken away. He tears up, and his cousin Yuka immediately snaps at him "Jerk! You're a guy, and guys aren't supposed to cry."
In the final chapter of the manga, the emotional havoc he endures is so strong he spends most of the time crying.

Attempted use in Mobile Suit Gundam. Amuro Ray tries to "correct" his comrade Hayato Kobayashi for crying by punching him but Hayato punches him back stating he has no right to claim others should not cry. Amuro himself also cries several times so it could be guessed he was just trying to follow military rules.

Dragon Ball Z
Subverted after Goku's second Heroic Sacrifice; Gohan and most of the other fighters (who are primarily men) are crying. Justified in that they might also count as Manly Tears. The only person not shedding tears is Vegeta.
Subverted again with Vegeta. He openly cries once he realizes that he was no matched against Frieza and when he begs Goku to defeat Frieza. He cries again just before sacrificing himself to stop Majin Buu. All three times, these scenes are used to highlight Vegeta's humanity or growing empathy.
Played With with Gohan, who Piccolo constantly reprimands for crying. It isn't because it isn't manly, but more because Gohan does it all the time over any little thing before he grows out of it.
Goku yells at Goten and Trunks for crying after learning Vegeta and Gohan were killed by Buu. It's mostly because his time is limited (he has less than a day to teach them the Fusion Dance) and didn't have time to waste on tears.
Despite being a fairly emotional person, Goku rarely if ever cries. Vegeta and Piccolo are actually seen crying more than him. One of the few precious times he shred tears is when he meets his dead grandpa and it stands out so much that his friends note how rare it was.

Played with in Rurouni Kenshin with the character of Soujiro. When he kills his family, Shishio asks him if he's crying. Soujiro passes it off as rain running down his face, but we later find out that he was really crying. Though in this case, it wasn't about masculinity but because his abusive relatives beat him for crying.

Averted in general with Jesse, who cries quite frequently, though he has very good reasons for doing so.
Invoked by Walt, who starts crying in front of Hank about his deteriorating marriage knowing that it will make him uncomfortable enough to leave the room. Then Walt can bug Hank's office without worrying about him coming in.

Early in Rin's route, after opening up to Rin about how much he resents his arrhythmia, Hisao cries for the first and last time about his being disabled. Then he moves on, determined to be a better person from now on.
In Hanako's Good Ending, Hisao and Hanako completely break down in each other's arms after they both admit how in love they are despite how little they really understand about each other.
