''[[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://anakris.deviantart.com/gallery/1631802 Cross Heart]'' (2008, 31 pages): Haru and Kotomi, both 15 years old, become friends.
Line 47:
* [[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.
