Touch

Touch follows the lives of three people: the identical twin brothers, Uesugi Kazuya and Tatsuya, and Minami Asakura. They've lived next to each other since they were babies, and their parents even built a playhouse in the yard between their houses.

Kazuya is the darling of his town as he's talented, hardworking, and the ace pitcher for his middle school baseball team. Tatsuya is a hopeless slacker who's been living the life of giving up the spotlight to Kazuya, despite the fact that he may be more gifted than him. Minami is the beautiful childhood girlfriend and for all intents, sister from next door who treats both of them as equals.

As they grew into their teens, they suddenly noticed that one of them was a girl. While Most people, including Tatsuya, largely assumes Kazuya and Minami will become the perfect couple. Kazuya will do everything for them, especially for Minami. Tatsuya willing to sacrifice everything for them and is more inclined to let his brother take the limelight, as he is unwilling to directly compete with Kazuya. This, maybe, includes competing for Minami's love as well.

How it affects the relationship between the three, and both brothers' attempts to make Minami's lifelong dreams come true.

Quote from Anime Craze:
As with a realistic plot, there are realistic characters. Each with his/her own strengths and weaknesses. Not a single feature out of place, not a single part out of personality, coupled with superb portrayal from the amazing Mitsuru Adachi. The characters change, and you see their growth. You see the development to maturity in each one of them. At the same time, we see a uniqueness in each of them as there is in each of us.
