"Touch" is one of the most traditional
manga in
Japan. It is about brothers who play baseball, trying to play at the
Koushien. The youger brother is called the Katsuya, and the older
brother is called Tastuya, and they were twins. In fact, Tastuya had never
played baseball until he entered the high school. Comparing to this,
Kastuya was a very fomous baseball player since he was in middle school,
but he died when he was in the first grade in high school by a car
accident. Kastuya's death made Tastuya play baseball to accomplish
Kastuya's dream. When Kastuya was alive, these two boys fell in love with
a same girl, called Minami, who was a childhood friend with Tastuya and
Kastuya. After Kastuya's death, Tastuya and Minami supported eachother to
accomplish eachother's goal. Tastuya's goal was to play baseball at the
KOUSIENN, and Minami's goal was to do a good performance at the All Japan
Gymnastic Tournament. They fell in love gradually but Tastuya can't show
his emotions that he loves Minami because of his dead brother. He knew
that Kastuya loved Minami too, so he feels a sense of guilt to Kastuya.
This Manga creates a story of their difficult love and their enshusiasm
towards their sports.
