Line 1: {{work}} ''[[~~Cross Heart (Webcomic)\|~~Cross Heart]]'' is a series of [[Web Original]] [[Yuri Genre]] [[Manga]] by Hikari "AnaKris" Inukai, originally published in Spanish (and partially, English) on [[Deviant ART]]. The series follows the story of Haru, a [[Genki Girl\|cheerful schoolgirl]] who finds herself [[Schoolgirl Lesbians\|falling in love]] with her [[Broken Bird\|aloof but beautiful]] schoolmate Kotomi. Simultaneously, Kotomi is losing an uphill battle against some ''very'' serious childhood traumas underneath a [[Stepford Smiler]] facade. The story is divided into three (or five, depending on how you count) chapters: * ''[~~http~~https://~~anakris~~web.archive.org/web/20190814151901/https://www.deviantart.com/anakris/gallery/~~1631802~~ Cross Heart]'' (2008, 31 pages): Haru and Kotomi, both 15 years old, become friends. * ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120112000719/http://anakris.deviantart.com/gallery/27775734 Someday]'' (2009, 26 pages): Haru and Kotomi are 17 and heading for a [[Relationship Upgrade]]. * ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120124182230/http://anakris.deviantart.com/gallery/27775852 Breakdown]'' (2010-11, 108 pages): Set about half a year after ''Someday'', this chapter consists of three parts: Part A -- ''Unheard Feelings'': Kotomi struggles with telling Haru that she has to move away. Part B -- ''The Distance That Keeps Us Apart'': Haru tries to deal with the pain in all the wrong fashion. Line 12: To call this manga, particularly the last chapter, "[[Emotional Torque]]" would be an understatement--there wasn't a single dry eye among the readers back when the final pages were published. The author's current plans for the series reportedly include remaking and translating the two first original chapters in English and publishing the entire series on paper, shipped worldwide. ~~----~~ ~~=== Tropes found in this manga: ===~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder]]: After Kotomi stops calling, Haru begins to doubt her own feelings. * [[All Just a Dream]]: Invoked by Haru when she and Kotomi finally meet again. She has seen it so often in her dreams already, she is almost glad to dismiss the real thing as another one of them. Line 46 ⟶ 45: * [[Parental Abandonment]]: Kotomi's parents live abroad most of her life and when they finally decide to do something for her, they only ruin her life even more. * [[Parental Neglect]]: Kotomi's parents didn't give a damn ''when their 9-year-old daughter was raped''. If that doesn't break someone's [[Moral Event Horizon]], it must skirt it real damn close. * [[Physical Scars, Psychological Scars]]: You don't really understand the metaphor of the "cross scar" from ''Cross Heart'' until ''Someday'', where it is revealed {{spoiler\|that Kotomi tried cutting her veins soon after her rape, leaving a cross-shaped scar on her wrist}}. * [[Rape Asas Drama]]: Kotomi was raped at the age of 9, six years before the ''Cross Heart''. * [[Relationship Upgrade]]: Ultimately subverted in ''Someday''. [[Double Subverted]] in ''Breakdown'', where we learn that Haru and Kotomi have been sleeping with each other since that night. * [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Haru and Kotomi. * [[Star -Crossed Lovers]]: Haru and Kotomi in ''Breakdown''. * [[Stepford Smiler]]: Kotomi in ''Cross Heart''. Haru really hates her fake smile. ** Ironically, she turns into one herself when Kotomi announces she is moving away.
