Adachi's manga, "Touch," centers on Minatsu Nakazato - an accomplished softball player and dedicated student - alongside her schoolmate Shu Akiba and aspiring boxer Naoto Kadomatsu. However, their dynamic proves more intricate, involving a three-and-a-half-way relationship due to Naoto's affection for Maria, who is actually Minatsu in disguise. This facade was necessary for her to avoid past adversaries.
