True Tears is a 2008 anime series produced by P.A. Works and directed by Junji Nishimura. Despite having the same name as the 2006 visual novel, it has a completely different plot, cast and art style. This article focuses on the anime, which follows Shinichiro Nakagami, a high school student who aspires to be an artist, and his relationship with Hiromi Yuasa, a well-liked girl from his school, after she moves in with them following her father's death.Despite having known Hiromi for years, Shinichiro notes that she has grown cold and distant at home, despite being friendly and outgoing whilst at school. Shinichiro believes that she's just holding her tears in, and makes watercolours of her, hoping to eventually ease her tears. At school, Shinichiro runs into Noe Isurugi and runs into misfortune after teasing her, being coerced into performing Muhiga dancing. He subsequently reconciles with Noe, and as the two grows closer in the process, Shinichiro strives to help her recover her tears.The anime is thirteen episodes in length, and was promoted by an internet radio show was hosted by three voice actresses from the anime prior to its release. Presently, the series has been licensed by Bandai Entertainment. | |

Genre Savvy: Noe. She's aware that Poor Communication Kills, and that keeping things to oneself would only cause further trouble in the future, so she puts it in herself to confront both Shinichiro and Hiromi to 'fess up and tell her what exactly is wrong between the two of them in episode 7. | |

Shipper on Deck: Shinichiro finds himself in this role, trying to get Aiko and Miyokichi together and later, attempts to do the same for Hiromi and Jun. In the latter case, he finds himself hesitant to do so because he liked Hiromi but then overheard her mention she liked him, but does so nontheless in the hopes that she would be happier. Jun's intervention begins the relationship between Shinichiro and Noe. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| True Tears / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Several characters do this to one another intentionally or not: Shinichiro's mother does this to Hiromi when she asks her to go out late at night to deliver a wine bottle to some fisherman they know. Luckily, Shinichiro helps her out and his dad chews his mom out for it afterwards. There's also the time she cut out Hiromi's mother's faces in the pictures they had together that Shinichiro found. There's also her cold treatment of Hiromi starting from the moment Hiromi first stepped in the Nakagami household. Hiromi also does this to Noe several times, albeit subtly. The first was when she took off the gravemarker Noe made for Raigoumaru and dug it to the ground without Noe's permission (though she had a point in saying that the sign should be on the ground and not on the chicken cage since there was still a living chicken in there left). Noe was clearly upset about this, but doesn't get angry with Hiromi and understands anyway. The second time was when Noe agreed to be friends with Hiromi as a favor to Shinichiro, even eating lunch together with her on the staircase. But after their first lunch spent together, Hiromi decided to practically ditch Noe and let her eat lunch alone again without telling her beforehand by using extra basketball training as an excuse. The third time she does this was during the festival episode where she practically tells Noe to go away since Hiromi and Shinichiro have reached an understanding, even while he and Noe were still in a relationship. Shinichiro did this once to Noe too, although it's unclear if it was intentional or not. He promised Noe that they'd go home together during episode 5, but decided to go home with Hiromi instead and promptly forgot about Noe. Noe was understandably upset at this betrayal, but still had it in her to forgive him without even mentioning the incident to him whatsoever. Aiko kissing Shinichiro when she heard that he was going to start going out with Noe, even while she was still in a relationship with Miyokichi. And even before that, going on a pseudo-date with Shinichiro behind Miyokichi's back. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| True Tears / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Shinichiro in the end realizes he loves Hiromi and breaks up with Noe. He declares that while he loves Hiromi, his heart will always belong to Noe. Shinichirou and Hiromi are a couple and Miyokichi and Aiko decide to start over from the beginning as friends. Several months later in the spring, Noe is finally able to shed tears for the first time in years. The drama CD improves things slightly better for Noe. She meets two classmates, Hitomi and Sakurako, who want to befriend her. Despite Noe's constant rebuffs, they manage to win her over with their constant reaching. Moved, Noe realizes that she can't live in her own world forever and that she should start interacting with other people. Also, Shinichirou and Noe never speak with each other again but Noe believes it's for the best. | |

Deconstructed Trope | |
| True Tears / int_8aa0f76 | comment |
Deconstructed Trope: The Love Triangle trope in most animes. While many romance animes would have the two girls fall in love with the same boy, and be OK with it; still being good friends and having a friendly rivalry. This tackles a more realistic portrayal. Both Noa and Hiromi are in love with Shinichiro, and both are aware of the others interest, but the relationship between the two isn't pleasant in the slightest. Both tried to befriend the other, but Hiromi's two-face nature and Noa's unfiltered attitude clashes to the point they hate each other and have a physical fight in public. Even when Hiromi starts dating Noa's brother, this still doesn't patch the issues between the two. By the end, unlike other shows which would befriend them, their relationship remains the same, even ending in a really bad note with Hiromi demanding Noa to leave Shinichiro's life. | |

Wham Episode | |
| True Tears / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Hiromi reveals why Shiori hates her to Shinichiro in episode six. This hatred was motivated by the fact that Shiori was under the impression that Hiromi was her husband's illegitimate daughter, compounded by the fact that it was with his best friend's wife. This would have given him justification to accept Hiromi into his household after her parents died. After the truth revealed, Shiori finally realises her mistake and accepts Hiromi as her daughter. | |

Love Triangle: Unrequited feelings and conflict abound wherever Hiromi, Noe and Shinichiro are involved. Love Dodecahedron: Things get increasingly complicated as the series goes on. Hiromi, Noe, and Aiko are all in love with Shinichiro, who has feelings for both Hiromi and Noe (but ultimately chooses Hiromi), while Miyokichi is in love with Aiko, and Jun, Noe's brother, turns out to be in love with her. | |

She Will Not Cry, so I Cry for Her: At the end of the anime, when Shinichiro professes to Noe that he loves Hiromi but his heart wavers when he's with Noe, Shinichiro bawls when he and Noe let each other go, implying that while he says he loves Hiromi, his heart will always belong to Noe. | |

| True Tears / int_d44ea142 | comment |
You Are Not Alone: Again, Noe to Shinichiro during episode 7. She believes that facing one's problems alone aren't enough and that someone should be there by the person's side to help that person's problems out. She declares that she'll be that someone who'll be by Shinichiro's side so he wouldn't face his problems alone. | |

Friendship Moment | |
| True Tears / int_d6b5f05f | comment |
Hiromi also does this to Noe several times, albeit subtly. The first was when she took off the gravemarker Noe made for Raigoumaru and dug it to the ground without Noe's permission (though she had a point in saying that the sign should be on the ground and not on the chicken cage since there was still a living chicken in there left). Noe was clearly upset about this, but doesn't get angry with Hiromi and understands anyway. The second time was when Noe agreed to be friends with Hiromi as a favor to Shinichiro, even eating lunch together with her on the staircase. But after their first lunch spent together, Hiromi decided to practically ditch Noe and let her eat lunch alone again without telling her beforehand by using extra basketball training as an excuse. The third time she does this was during the festival episode where she practically tells Noe to go away since Hiromi and Shinichiro have reached an understanding, even while he and Noe were still in a relationship. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| True Tears / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Noe. Insults and Kick the Dog moments toward her don't faze her a bit and she is quite a patient and overall forgiving person. However, when she sees how depressed Shinichiro looked in episode 7 and how he's "turned away from the sky", she correctly deduces that Hiromi was the one at fault and angrily demands that Hiromi apologize to him, while inviting her to eat lunch with her even. | |
