Pieta is a josei Yuri manga by Nanae Haruno, which was serialized in Young You from 1998 to 1999.It revolves around a student named Rio Sakaki, who is suicidally depressed. Her father is distant, and her stepmother is emotionally abusive. She can't remember her early childhood when her sister and biological mother left. Her therapists, Doctors Shoumitsu and Kyouko Minori do their best to help her situation. Everything changes when Rio meets classmate Sahoko Higa, and they fall in love. With Sahoko's support, it seems like everything in Rio's life is changing for the better...

Distant Finale: The "Extra" epilogue chapter makes several time skips, eventually showing Sahoho and Rio still living together as adults.

Pietà Plagiarism: Not all that surprising, considering the name of the series, it happens when Sahoko is cradling Rio's broken body after she jumps off the school building.

Break the Cutie
 Pieta (Manga) / int_4b316d47
comment
Break the Cutie: Shigeko deliberately tries to crush Rio's spirit whenever she can, and finally manipulates Rio into attempting suicide by playing on her missing memories of her sister and insinuating that Rio actually killed her, which is not even remotely true (even Rio's father admits this when Shoumitsu confronts them about it).

Driven to Suicide
 Pieta (Manga) / int_6d332aea
comment
Driven to Suicide: Rio attempted suicide often, but was starting to improve thanks to Sahoko. Then Shigeko lied to her about her sister's death, which caused her to jump off the roof of a building. She lived, though

Freak Out: Shigeko has one when she catches her house on fire by burning Rio's photo album; when the Minoris are discussing it in the next chapter, Shoumitsu mentions that she hasn't completely recovered from the emotional shock.

Abusive Parents: Rio's stepmother Shigeko is cruelly dismissive and seems to be fixated on destroying Rio emotionally, and her father is almost completely apathetic to her.

The Scapegoat
 Pieta (Manga) / int_dc8ba6d5
comment
The Scapegoat: Shigeko believes that Rio tried to kill her son when he was a toddler. What really happened is that Rio had cut her wrists, and the boy wandered into the room, slipped in the blood, and fell, hitting his head. Shigeko heard his cries, came into the room, and jumped to the entirely wrong conclusion.
