Number of episodes: 13

Plot:
True Tears revolves around a high school student named Shinichirō Nakagami with a high artistic ability. He lives with his mother, father, and fellow high school student Hiromi Yuasa who moved into his house after her father died. Her father had been a close friend of the family, so it was natural for Hiromi to come stay with the Nakagami family; since she came to live in their home, one year has passed. Shinichirō has known Hiromi for years, but before he had always treasured her smile, though now she acts coldly when at home and he cannot bring up the nerve to talk with her either. When she is at school, Hiromi is popular, always smiles, and is talented in sports, but Shinichirō knows she must be hiding things inside her. At school, he meets a strange girl named Noe Isurugi who wishes him misfortune after Shinichirō teases her. After a bit of bad luck, he reconciles with Noe by crafting a chicken out of a tissue box and finds out from her that she "gave her tears away". Shinichirō also likes to spend time with his childhood friends Miyokichi Nobuse and Aiko Endō at the Imagawayaki shop Aiko's family owns, and she helps out at the shop too.

A Little Factual Information: The opening video of the anime contains shots of the Tateyama mountain range in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, and is where the series is set. Incidentally, the animation studio which produced the anime, P.A. Works, is located in Jōhana, Toyama, and places in the series are modeled after that town. However, the town in True Tears faces the sea, and in reality Jōhana is inland. Furthermore, the two surnames used in the series — Isurugi and Kurobe — are place names in Toyama Prefecture.

Characters:

Shinichirō Nakagami (Nakagami Shinichirō)
Voiced by: Makoto Ishii
Shinichirō is a male high school student who enjoys art. He lives with his mother, father, and childhood friend Hiromi Yuasa. She used to smile around him, though does not anymore when at home. Shinichirō longs to see her smile again which he loved so much as a kid. He is living a relatively normal life until he meets a strange girl named Noe Isurugi who curses him with misfortune after he teases her a bit, though he reconciles with her soon after. Shinichirō is frustrated by not being able to see emotion from Hiromi, and other pressures from his family, such as a traditional Japanese dance he does not want to practice.

Noe Isurugi (Isurugi Noe)
Voiced by: Ayahi Takagaki
Noe Isurugi is an odd girl at Shinichirō's school. He first meets up in a tree where she is picking silverberries for a chicken she named Raigomaru in a coop on a campus. Shinichirō ends up having to catch her as she jumps from the tree since she was stuck and could not get down on her own. She likes chickens, though would only feed one of them since she says "it could fly" while the other cannot. After the chicken gets killed by a raccoon, Noe becomes saddened, but does not cry because she "gave away her tears". She has an older brother, who is a basketball team captain.

Hiromi Yuasa (Yuasa Hiromi)
Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka
Hiromi is a girl Shinichirō's age and goes to the same high school as him. After her father died, she came to live with Shinichirō's family and has already been living with them for a year once the story begins. She had been in the same class as Shinichirō since elementary school, though despite being cheerful back then, she now acts cold when at home. In contrast, she normally smiles and is popular at school. She often helps out with Shinichirō's father's work as they are low on man power. She is on her school's girl's basketball team.

Aiko Endō (Endō Aiko)
Voiced by: Yuka Iguchi
Aiko is a girl one year older than Shinichirō who attends a different school than him. She is going out with his friend Miyokichi Nobuse, but may have feelings instead for Shinichirō hinted through a comment she made about if people cannot become closer to the one they like, they would like to get closer to the one closest to that someone. Aiko has known Shinichirō and Miyokichi since they were kids. She helps out at her family's Imagawayaki shop named Imagawayaki Ai-chan. She is shorter than Shinichirō but enjoys teasing him from time to time.

Miyokichi Nobuse (Nobuse Miyokichi)
Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino
Miyokichi is Shinichirō's good friend, and has known him since they were kids. They hang out together at school, and Miyokichi often brings up the fact that Shinichirō has an eye out for Hiromi when at school. Miyokichi is going out with Aiko.

Tomoyo Kurobe (Kurobe Tomoyo)
Voiced by: Tomomi Watanabe
Tomoyo is Hiromi's friend whom she often hangs out with and fellow member of the girl's basketball team. She is sure that Hiromi likes Shinichirō, but Hiromi constantly denies it.

Shinichirō's father (Shinichirō no Chichi)
Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara
He and Hiromi's father were good friends. After Hiromi's father died, he took her in. Unlike his wife, he respects his son's privacy and lets him do as he wishes, saying that "Shinichirō is Shinichirō".

Shinichirō's mother (Shinichirō no Haha)
Voiced by: Rieko Takahashi
She likes to do what she thinks is best for her son, and tries to look after him. She has been known to read his mail if she deems necessary and often bugs him about things at school, or if his jacket smells. She takes favor over Shinichirō and does not consider Hiromi her child.

Jun Isurugi (Isurugi Jun)
Voiced by: Yūki Masuda
Jun is Noe's older brother. He is the captain of the basketball team at his school.
