Nice OP song by eufonius,the soundtrack of this series is definitely good as well as the quality of animation.The character design is excellent,I can tell it's a serious romance.The protagonist Shinichiro Nakagami has a crush on Hiromi but they hardly talks to each other even though they're living under the same roof,Hiromi thinks that she is a burden to Nakagami family and the way shinichiro mother looks at Hiromi isn't friendly either. I can tell that Aiko has a feeling for Shinichiro but his best friend is already after Aiko and Shinichiro is after Hiromi,this love triangle could be a potential plot device.But what about this cute and mysterious girl Noe The short-haired girl who climb trees and befriend chicken,maybe she can really talk to animals..lol.!!!She looks like Mana from the series Sola.I find her very interesting after she said that she's very sad and gave her tears away,it could be the one of the themes of the show given it's title.Nothing much to say,it's mostly introduction yet so far,but this show seems has a potential. True Tears story revolves around Shinichiro,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. 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, 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. Yet he cannot bring up the nerve to talk to her even in his own home. She, too, is quiet and withdrawn in their house, quite unlike at school. Shinichiro is also distracted by teasing from his friend Nobuse for watching Hiromi from afar, a curse of bad luck from a strange girl named Noe, and being forced to perform Muhiga dancing. By helping Noe he hopes to ease his own problems, yet he seems to have difficulty helping himself.
