Synopsis from Baka-Updates Manga:
Touch is a shounen story about two twin brothers, a pretty girl next door, and that good old pastime of baseball. The manga was written by one of the most well known manga-ka out there, Adachi Mitsuru in the early 80's (1981-1986). He's a wonderful writer who tends to write stories that are related to baseball and Koshien, the stadium where the All High School Baseball Tournament is held.
This is one of the best sports mangas that I'm reading because of the subtle comedies that really makes me laugh. The story is quite realistic compared to some sports manga like Prince of Tennis (which I will feature next time). This is also one sports manga that has brought me to tears because of one event that happened in the story.
I also like the love triangle story that evolves between the twins and their childhood girl friend. It is filled with thrilling moments that will excite every romantic reader ^_^. I highly recommend this to all manga readers who like baseball, high school baseball in particular, and love stories.
This manga is 26 volumes long. It is scanlated by Adachi-Manga group currently at vol. 22 chap. 215. Chap. 216 is expected to be released this week (hopefully ^_^).
Next manga: Prince of Tennis
