''Webcomic/CrossHeart'' is a series of WebOriginal [[YuriGenre yuri]] [[OELManga manga]] by Ana Cristina Sánchez a.k.a. [=AnaKris=], originally published in Spanish (and partially, English) on Website/DeviantArt. The series follows the story of Haru, a [[GenkiGirl cheerful schoolgirl]] who finds herself [[SchoolgirlLesbians falling in love]] with her [[BrokenBird aloof but beautiful]] schoolmate Kotomi. Simultaneously, Kotomi is losing an uphill battle against some ''very'' serious childhood traumas underneath a StepfordSmiler facade. The story is divided into three (or five, depending on how you count) chapters:

To call this manga, particularly the third chapter, "EmotionalTorque" would be an understatement--there wasn't a single dry eye among the readers back when the final pages were published.

* UpdatedReRelease: The paper version of ''Cross Heart'' has roughly the same plot as the online version but improved art and almost double the size, thanks to additional scenes.

''Cross Heart'' and ''Someday'' are now available [[http://cyclic-redundancy.ecrater.com/p/15502636/cross-heart-original-yuri-manga for purchase as a single bound volume]], fully translated to English and shipped worldwide. The fate of the paper version of ''Breakdown'' is still uncertain.

To call this manga, particularly the last chapter, "EmotionalTorque" 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.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Early on in ''Breakdown'', Yoko suspects Haru has a fever. Later on, Haru collapses with a flu, worsened by PostDramaticStressDisorder.

** [[http://anakris.deviantart.com/art/Breakdown-Extra-2-273522649 Extra 2]] -- ''Happily Ever After'' (Extra 1 currently seems to have been lost in time)

* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: In a very subtle touch, Haru is often seen wearing huge headphones. If you think about it, although she looks like an extrovert compared to Kotomi, she is really quite a loner, as we only ever see her interacting with Kotomi and Yoko.

* TimeSkip: Two years between ''Cross Heart'' and ''Someday''; a few months between ''Someday'' and ''Breakdown''; and three more years between Parts B and C of the latter.
