Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A baseball/romance/Slice of Life manga by Mitsuru Adachi, which ran in Weekly Shonen Sunday from 1981 to 1986, it follows the lives of twins Tatsuya and Kazuya Uesugi and their neighbor Minami Asakura, as they experience triumph and tragedy both on and off the baseball field.Tatsuya, the elder twin, is a lazy, perverted kid with no apparent ambitions or goals in his life. Younger twin Kazuya, on the other hand, is mature, intelligent, and a brilliant athlete, from whom everyone expects wonderful things. Their neighbor, Minami, is a bright and spirited girl, whom both brothers have known and loved their whole lives. Everyone believes that Kazuya and Minami would make a perfect couple, and that they're destined for each other — too bad he's not the one she's in love with.The anime adaptation, which aired for 101 episodes from 1985 to 1987, set viewership ratings records when it first aired and is one of the highest-rated anime TV shows ever in Japan.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Hypocritical Heartwarming | |
| Touch (1981) (Manga) / int_18f2b2b | comment |
Hypocritical Heartwarming: In the first chapter, Minami gets angry because her friends are dissing Tetsuya. When they remind her that she constantly complains about Tetsuya, Minami replies it is different when she does it (justified because her friends were just mocking him. Minami berates him because she knows he is not an useless idiot but he wants everyone thinking he is). | |

| Touch (1981) (Manga) / int_60547993 | comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: All Tatsuya wants is for he, Kazuya and Minami to be happy together, even if it means letting Kazuya have Minami. Even after his tragic death, Kazuya still remains the elephant in the room, as Tatsuya continues to think himself unworthy of Minami. Tatsuya still feels guilty about "taking" Minami from his brother, too; probably even moreso because Kazuya is dead and unable to compete with him. | |

Dude Magnet: Minami has about every guy she meets head over heels with her. This grows even more once she joins gymnastics. Yuka herself is noted to be cute and pretty popular among the guys, only losing out to Minami(much to Yuka’s chagrin). | |

Naughty Bird Watching: In several chapters Tatsuya and his friends spy on the girls with binoculars as they are using the lockers room (a plot point during the early volumes was that Tatsuya had accidentally broke a friend's binoculars as spying and he had to find a mean to pay for them). | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Touch (1981) (Manga) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Adachi uses it like it's going out of style. Particularly very early in the series Minami tells Kazuya that he "won't live long", and draws the ace of spades while using cards to predict the future of Kazuya's try for Koushien. "Hoshi no Silhouette", Kazuya's image song in the anime, also qualifies. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: Tatsuya doesn't even want to bother trying to compete with his brother in any respect, so he hides his own considerable talents under a bushel and gives the impression that he has no ambition in life. | |

Secret Diary | |
| Touch (1981) (Manga) / int_a9ee4fee | comment |
Secret Diary: In an early chapter, Tatsuya found Minami's diary. Later Minami accused him of reading her diary. Tatsuya swore that he did not, and it is left ambiguous whether he did or did not. The next day Minami confessed to Tatsuya what it was true what was written on her diary and she is in love with him... Tatsuya got so flustered that she realized that he had NOT read it, so she backpedaled and claimed that she had only written bad things about him. | |

The Ace: Kazuya Uesugi is kind, polite, hard-working, a sports star, makes good grades, and is popular with girls. Akio Nitta is cut from the same mold. Minami Asakura seems to be a female version. | |

Hard Work Hardly Works | |
| Touch (1981) (Manga) / int_cc427069 | comment |
Hard Work Hardly Works: Averted in Tatsuya's case. Although he is an amazing natural athlete, even better than Kazuya, years without exercising or practicing mean that when he eventually joins the baseball team he has to train hard to even come close to his brother's standard, let alone surpass him. Played straight, however, with Minami, who goes from not being particularly interested in gymnastics to winning a championship very quickly. | |
