About True Tears

True Tears arrives as a drama anime by P.A.WORKS (2008), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: Shinichiro is a student living in what would be a dream come true for most high school boys, but for him is mostly a frustration. A well liked girl in school named Hiromi has lived in his house for a year along with his family.

Soon after, her father was a close companion of the family, and when he died they immediately took her in. She is popular and well liked, always smiles, is talented in sports- but Shinichiro knows there needs to be tears inside her. Having an artistic tendency, he makes watercolours of her and thinks about wishing to ease her tears.

With drama at the core, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Shinichirou Nakagami (Makoto Ishii) and Noe Isurugi (Ayahi Takagaki) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
