damn it, m33w just dropped the show because its licensed. I really hope other subbers keep subbing it till its finished airing.

A.) There's already a thread for this, so future discussion should continue there http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=12249
B.) I'm not certain they're planning on dropping it, the news post was worded oddly and implies that they may still be releasing episodes directly to places like tokyo toshokan. The direct quote is: "I will stop posting news updates regarding releases of True Tears and Shigofumi."
Can't say for sure, but this is my hope in any case.

m.3.3.w has released episode 4 of Shigofumi (the other recently licensed anime) under the name w.0.0.f -- We should be able to expect the same for True Tears ^_^

I'm not sure if Hiromi just trapped herself in a lie or was telling the truth about liking Noe's brother anymore, at first I figured she just lied, but she came up with so much information suddenly that it's really hard to tell for sure now.


I also wonder about that. If she lied, I think she did it because her friend also likes Shin and she doesn't want her friend to hold back for her sake anymore. But the way she talked about Noes brother made me wonder again... We will see! :P

These are my thoughts on this episode: First of all, does the brother have a thing for his sister? It seemed like he was wanting to hold part of her face in his hand when he was helping her with the helmet.

Disturbing thought but I fear it's true. o_O

cosmonaut said:
Second and lastly, maybe the reason Shin's mother doesn't like Hiromi is because her husband had an affair with Hiromi's mother?


Either that or Shins mother liked Hiromis father back (before any of them were married) then but Hiromis mother got him and she just married Shins father for the sake of getting married or to be close to her "stolen love" since the two men were friends.

I liked this episode because it had more Hiromi in it then the past ones. ^^ Now I would just hope that Ai also gets abit more screentime since her story starts to interest me more and more.
I still cheer for Hiromi to get together with Shin, but I fear that Noe might win. =/

some funny parts, the goofy face after eating the chicken feed and the goofy face after brushing his teeth. I don't hate hiromi but I'd rather him not end up with her but it seems rather obvious it will be her. I prefer Ai Chan she's just so cute, and he's oblivious to her. Noe is funny though.

Na I cant see this anime having an incest. Its just brotherly feelings. *Hopes that it is just brotherly feelings*

Ok Ai is offically gone with Shin's friend now. Its out of Hiromi and Noe. I really cant really put a finger on whats going to happen. I hope this tell us more about Hiromi's family and her connection with Shin's soon.

Well what the hell was with Noe's bro wanting to... touch her face? It seems a lil weird, and then, he just asked Shinishiro to ask her out? Wah? That was obviusly disgusting.

I hope Shinishiro doesn't end up with Hiromi, wich is obviusly predictable, i wouldn't like that ending. I dislike Hiromi for the fact that she is a lier bitch. Fuck her.

Again an awesome ending lol...allways unpredictable.

Im just guessing this:
I am afraid this is going to end like "school Days", not "that" way tho. First shin'ichiro thinks that he likes hiromi, but later starts to like Noe, who tried to support shin'ichiro for better relationship between him and hiromi. But when he starts to like Noe, Hiromi finally shows her true feelings. Just everything happens in wrong time....

The grandma scene was quite well done. Now I know why Noe can't cry. I do hope they will build up more on this and this becomes one of the more important, defining scenes later on in the series.

Intriguing, to say the least.
Let me get this straight. Ai is going out with Nobuse but it appears she has feelings for Shin'ichiro as well. Troublesome, indeed.
I also noticed how Noe's brother hesitated putting on the helmet on Noe to then touch her face gently. Brotherly love or something else?

Questions aside, I lol'd majorly when Shin'ichiro screamed at the crows that were on the electric line.

Birds: BAWW.
Shin: BBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRR.

Also, someone needs to smack Ichiro's mom. I hate her feelings towards Hiromi. Makes me want to......UGH.

Second and lastly, maybe the reason Shin's mother doesn't like Hiromi is because her husband had an affair with Hiromi's mother?

Both of these are just speculation, I'm probably wrong. But that's what my mind was thinking while watching this episode.


I saw the face touch as well. My theory is that he's been looking out for her for so long after grandma died that he developed a bit of a complex.

As far as Ai goes, she still might be crushing on Shin but she is warming up to Miyo. She blushed way too much for her not to like Miyo at all. I think she will learn not to like Shin and get blindsided by her growing affections.

I loved how Hiromi actually had a nice moment with Shin laughing. That was so unexpected. She might be caught up in a lie but I think she can get to know Shin better and relax more this way. Perhaps through those means they can bond.

Speaking of Hiromi, I suspected that some kind of affair might have happened as well or that one of her parents was really close to Shin's dad. I think the mom is either jealous or is over protective of her son.

Noe had some good character development. She wasn't annoying in today's episode. She's a good girl, albeit cooky.


i think the brother may have been reminded of their mother when he touched Noe's face.

i dont think Ai is really warming up to the guy friend. more like pity or just plain sadness because she saw shin (who she actually likes) hanging out with noe

im not sure why the mother does not like hiromi, but it could be because she reminds her of hiromi's mother (who she may be missing alot due to the death).

idk, but DAM this is a good series!!

I actually find Noe quite annoying. She's very childish, and I don't think her brother helps things

Great...Noe's brother has a thing for her... More and more competition and love-triangles are showing up each episode >_>

Noe is as cute as ever. Her face when she ate the berries was priceless :D The eye-cleansing thing was funny as well :)
Shin yelling at the crows was also priceless :D

So we finally got to know how Noe lost her tears :/

I'm starting to get really annoyed by Shin's mother. I mean even if we don't know the real reason yet, I can see why she would hate Hiromi, but it's still pretty annoying.

I am loving this show!

These characters feel so natural! I laugh when they laugh, and I can really empathize with Shin. I loved the crow scene.

I can't figure Ai out though... Does she like Shin and is leading his friend on? Like, aren't they going out? I smell drama~

I hope it doesn't go into incest though :/

If Ai gets thrown into the MC bowl, this is gonna get crazy. There's already tension building up between her and Nobuse.

Yep I'm late on this series, bear with me :P

This is the best episode so far in terms of pacing and interesting dialogues. We're finally seeing something more about the plot, like Noe's reason for not crying and a glimpse at Hiromi's situation.
Up until now Noe steals the show. She's always blunt and straightforward without resulting annoying. Hiromi is just playing the drama queen, while Ai... well she might be the worst character so far; people like her because she's "cute" and all, but seem to easily forget that she's shamelessly trying to cheat on her boyfriend at every given time, without even showing a glimpse of guilt.
Jun seems an interesting character, it must run in the family XD but I guess we're gonna deal with a little sister complex here...

Well, so far so good

Awesome episode. I really love Noe!! But why do I have this very strong feeling that the main guy's gonna end up with Hiromi? No, I'm still rooting with Noe. Anyway, awesome episode!!
I also think he's gonna end up with her, but I hope not. These are my ships: NoexShinichiro/Jun.

I think the best way to describe the relationship between the characters is with "it's complicated".

So far, Noe is the easiest, as she isn't really romantically interested in anyone, though i guess that will change if she continues to spend time with Shinichiro, especially if she sees him with one of the other girls in relevant situations (going shopping, holding hands, sitting at the parapet looking at the sea etc.).

With Hiromi, it all depends on what her situation really is. Does she really love Noe's brother? What happend between her/her parents (mother?) and Shinichiro's mother? If she and Shinichiro are related, nothing will happen. Otherwise she could talk with Shinichiro. Seeing how Noe isn't romantically interested, they could end up together rather fast. Of course it won't happen fast..

Aiko..well, she's only going out wth Miyokichi because he is the closest she got to Shinichiro. Apparently he got the two together? Basically, she has to decide to either give up on Shinichiro, which would immediatley resolve the situation as Miyokichi is only interested in her, or she should tell Shinichiro. He isn't interested in her so far, but that may change when he has to actually think about it, and if he turns her down it's not really resolved, either, unless she can *then* be serious with Miyokichi.

I would love for Shinichiro to end up with Aiko. She's neither *THE* childhood friend (thats Hiromi's role, despite Aiko knowing him just as long or maybe longer), nor the "mysterious stranger" (usually with superpowers and what not), so it would be really something different and unexpected. Aiko is also the only one woh is clearly interested in Shinichiro, and apparently trying to get his attention since a while (before the start of the anime).

Just when I thought I'd get to see a normal brother-sister relationship in an anime for a change, they go ahead and turn the brother into a creepy siscon. It looked like he wanted to caress Noe's cheek/neck when he was making her wear the helmet. I like my wincest animu, but there's a time and place for everything, and this story certainly ain't one of them.

Aside from that, I really liked the scene between Ai and Nobuse. Even though she has feelings for Shinichiro, she has been slowly warming up to Nobuse over the course of these last few of episodes. At this point, I'm fine with Shinichiro ending up with any of the 3 girls (which is quite rare for me), but I do hope these two (Ai and Nobuse) actually become a couple by the end of the show.
