help Touch FAQ
Is Touch mainly a baseball anime or a romance anime?
Touch is both, which is why it became one of Mitsuru Adachi's defining works. The story uses high school baseball and the Koshien dream to frame the triangle between Tatsuya Uesugi, Kazuya Uesugi, and Minami Asakura.
How many episodes does the Touch TV anime have?
The Touch TV anime has 101 episodes and aired from 1985 to 1987. It was animated by Group TAC and became one of the major sports-romance anime of the 1980s.
Why is Kazuya so important if Tatsuya is the main character?
Kazuya is the talented twin, the ace pitcher, and the person everyone expects to take Meisei High toward Koshien. Tatsuya's arc only makes sense because he starts as the careless brother living in Kazuya's shadow.
Is Mix a sequel to Touch?
Yes, Mix is a later Mitsuru Adachi baseball manga set at Meisei Academy, the school made famous in Touch. It is not simply Tatsuya and Minami's story again, but it deliberately returns to the same baseball legacy.
