>>481891Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki (Wolf Children) will be up your alley. Heartfelt story, with characters whose smile you want to protect, and interpersonal drama.
Also, I found that Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei (The Tatami Galaxy) had a story that left an impression on me. It made me think about how the themes in the show apply to my own life (probably because I identified with the MC). So you'll probably enjoy that too.
