Hiromi is a very complex character but i don’t think she did anything wrong ,her selfishness was due to how the mum treated her that made her who she was ,i was not angry at her at all like some ppl were because her actions were ttly human .lot’s of ppl (manily the younger one’s )don’t seem to focus on her emotional drama and they like Noe over her because they like perfection.Hiromi cried the most on this show ep 4,6,8,9,10,12,13 but the writers did an amazing job on showing the emotions of Noe as well as the other characters even though they didn’t cry much but were all in pain ,i wouidn’t say Hiromi suffered the most or Noe suffered the most like other ppl because to me they all suffered too much and they were very wounded by thier own feelings .Fear was one of the main factors that prevented these characters from sayin what they wanted to say..

After reading some of the post at animesuki,It’s painfully clear that shin was the cause of her massive pain and saddness -she hated the fact that he was not there for her when she needed him the most ,she hated the fact that he didn’t get the hint that she liked him(Baka),she hated the fact that she had to lie for his sake ,she hated the fact that he hooked her up with jun ,she hated that memory of them ,she hated the fact that he was a burden to her heart ,she hated that he caused her pain because of her unrequited feelings for him maybe she was jealous of him because he never experienced her situation and that’s why he coudn’t understand what she was going through(he’s a mama’s boy..lol).Ep 2,3,4,5 showed us that she was trying to get attention from him because she wanted him to confess his feelings to her so she can admit the truth and be relieved but at the same it showed us that she was trying her best to avoid him because she didn’t want to hurt his feelings or cause problems for the family at the price of her own happiness (it’s was a shin happiness or her own happiness sitution)in ep 6-she just couidn’t take it anymore and felt relieved that she let it out and was able to share this with Shin(much like Ai was when she told Nobuse the truth) but she was extremely sad and even cried calling herself a terrible person because she caused Shin pain and for sacrafising her own happiness..

I understand the mum’s situation and I do feel sorry for her but she had no idea how much she screwed Hiromi’s life and feelings with that lie ,poor girl was just very very conflicted/troubled and had so many obstacles going on a gainst her,she was just living in the past of her’s and shin which she hated very much and was lonely at heart ..

I just can’t beleive that some ppl dislike Hiromi so much ,I liked her a lot and felt very bad for her and just wanted her to be with Shin.she was in the worst situation than all the three girls and needed understanding..

But Hiromi is not the most hated .She has quite number of fans .I think that Ai is the most misunderstood/hated of the girls even though she was deep ..Ai was more realistic and flawed than both Hiormi and Noe ..

“..true tears is an “adult” series, and even the people involved in it have said so. ”
==> “In the interview, Nazuka Kaori says the show has an adult flavor, and is the first show so much to her own taste that she’s done in a long time.”

/me facepalms.

But I have to disagree some say it’s an adult anime. I didn’t think of it that way ‘cos I never knew harem anime set in highschool without fanservice could be identified as an adult anime. I don’t see any signs that point it that way either. I think it’s suited for anyone who’s interested in these particular type of anime, so yeah. Unless, Kuro, you’ve written something up there in your post that I missed out on reading.

Ok, I’m a big fan of Noe but like some one commented up there, somewhere, or maybe somewhere else (not sure), doesn’t an interesting anime become more interesting when there’s so many different opinions on it? I understand that some can find dissing their favourite anime character rather hurtful? (I dunnoes, I’ve never had that experience before so correct me if you may) — but Hiromi is Hiromi and she has good points about her just like every other anime character. I think it’s fun sharing different opinions, hating one or two characters, etc. But it’s not like these opinions will change your own opinions on things, or the outcome of the anime for that matter. And then some wanna fight for what they believe, and so on. Thus you have a discussion, well done. But it’s cool to know what everyone thinks of this anime, especially the characters. Oh and about Noe being annoying (someone wrote that up there, once again, I’m unsure) she really could be if you imagine her in real life. But I don’t think someone like that would really exist, unless I’m mistaken. Anyway, Noe is cute ‘cos she’s an “anime character” and Hiromi is interesting ‘cos, guess what, she’s also an “anime character”, lawls.
