True Tears

Last updated

A thirteen-episode anime also named True Tears aired on TV Kanagawa between January 6, 2008 and March 29, 2008. Despite sharing the same title, the anime series otherwise shares no relation with the original game, using a different storyline featuring different characters. The anime series was produced by P.A. Works and was directed by Junji Nishimura, with screenplay written by Mari Okada, while La'cryma is still credited for creating the original work. [24]

Reception and sales

Unlike Da Capo II , one of the two games that often appeared alongside True Tears in advertising campaigns, [25] the game did not enjoy as high of a sales record, ranking forty-first out of fifty on the national ranking of bishōjo games based on amount sold in Japan during the last two weeks of March 2006, [26] compared to D.C. II's first place debut on the same chart two months later. [27]
