About True Tears

Looking for background on True Tears? This drama and romance series by P.A.WORKS (2008) starts out like this. In short: Shinichiro is a pupil 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.

As things develop, her father was a close friend 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 must 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. Voice work is led by Makoto Ishii as Shinichirou Nakagami and Ayahi Takagaki as Noe Isurugi. This one is best suited to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
