True Tears (2008 - 2008)

While at home, Shinichiro Nakagami laments how he cannot express his feelings for Hiromi Yuasa.

After insisting Shinichiro should believe her about giving her away her tears, Noe tells him of her mission to retrieve them.

When Shinichiro goes to school, he finds red seeds in pink envelopes which Noe has placed in his locker, desk, and around the classroom.

While walking back to Shinichiro's house, Hiromi tells him about her crush on Noe's brother, which hurts Shinichiro.

Shinichiro looks for Noe during school, but after she suggests they eat lunch together or go home together, he becomes defensive and lies, telling her that he has dance practice after school and that she should eat with her friends instead of him.

Aiko tries to tell Shinichiro her feelings but is interrupted when Miyokichi arrives.

Noe once again tries to approach Shinichiro at school, but he shrugs her off, telling her that she does not understand his situation.

After asking Noe out, Shinichiro tells her about his picture book that he is making about the rooster Raigoumaru.

Jun and Hiromi crash while on the motorcycle, but they are not harmed. As a result of the accident, both Jun and Hiromi get suspended from school.

It has been a week since Hiromi moved out and in the meantime has settled into single living. Miyokichi gets a call from Aiko, and the two decide to start over from the beginning as friends.

After Shinichiro listens to Noe talk to herself at the beach, he goes home but is unable to sleep due to her words.

The day after the festival, Shinichiro goes to Jun to apologize for Noe's broken leg, though Jun says he will not forgive him.
