One of the best series I've read on Manfa Plaza!

Reach out and Touch Me is a heartfelt manga that addresses the issue of trauma in a very realistic way. The female lead, Reika, is a manga artist that is afraid of men. Her issue starts to affect her work, so she decides to try kickboxing, in a gym with female trainers. Only the gym, has male trainers, one of whom rescued her from a creep on the train. The artist tastefully, but realistically shows how her fear started, and the ups and downs of overcoming her fear. It's very well done, and there is a slow burn romance. One of my favorites mangas on Manga Plaza.

Want it longer)

Feel really attached to the both of the heroes, honestly reminds me of myself, but when I was 10 years younger than Rika, lol. I actually admire these types of guys, I wish this manga would be little longer.

So sweet

A really cute romance story. I like the art and the characters. I like how this mangaka draws different styles of people. It was heartwarming and worth the read.

好きです

I like it

This review contains spoilers. あったかいものが残りました。日本の未成年女性、性暴力の最初の被害の大半は痴漢らしいです。おまけに父親の家庭内暴力まで。そりゃ男性苦手になります。自分で克服しようと動いて偉いです。先生、理解してくれる優しい人でよかった。

This review contains spoilers. Something warm was left. It seems that most of the first victims of sexual violence against underage women in Japan are molesters. What's more, my father's domestic violence. Well, men don't like that. It's great that they move to overcome it on their own. Teacher, I'm glad you are a kind person who understands.

サクサク読めて、感動

I'm moved to be able to read it quickly

This review contains spoilers. 読みやすくて面白かったです！！立夏ちゃんの男性恐怖症の心情や、でもそこから五郎丸先生に恋するを戸惑いなど。五郎丸先生はコワモテだけど凄く優しくて、立夏ちゃんへの気遣いが素敵です。それに累君がいいヤツで良かったです。

This review contains spoilers. It was easy to read and interesting!! Tachibana's androphobic feelings, but she was puzzled that she would fall in love with Goromaru sensei from there, etc. Goromaru sensei is popular, but he is very kind, and his care for Rikatsu is wonderful. Also, I'm glad Tsune-kun is a nice guy.

めっちゃいい

That's so good

めっちゃいい。泣ける。キャラも良き。主人公に嫌味がなく、応援したくなる。一気に読める読みやすさもある。めっちゃいい。語彙力もなくなるほどです。

it's really good. It makes me cry. The characters are good too. I don't dislike the main character, and I want to cheer for him. It's also easy to read so you can read it all at once. it's really good. So much so that my vocabulary skills are gone.

やさしい世界がよかった

An easy world was good

短いけど、ちゃんと詰まって、読みごたえがありました。当て馬くんや当て馬子ちゃんも出てくるけど、基本的に濃く絡む人はみんな良い人で、優しい世界でした。もうちょっと、この二人の続きが読みたいな。いつか、番外編とか続編とか出ると良いなと思います。

It was short, but it was well packed, and it was a great read. Guituma-kun and Guitumako-chan also appear, but basically all the people they get involved with are nice people, and it was a kind world. I want to read a little more about the continuation of these two people. I think it would be nice if an extra series or a sequel would come out someday.

かわいい?現実ではこういうのってもう味わえないけど、漫画だからいつでもどこでも味わえる！漫画っていいなーと思わせてくれる作品です！ままかり先生、ありがとうございます?応援してます！

cute? In real life, you can't enjoy this kind of thing anymore, but since it's a comic, you can enjoy it anytime, anywhere! It's a work that makes me think comics are great! Thank you, Professor Mamakari? I'm rooting for you!

Very nice.

先生のヒロインをさりげなく気遣うところとか、ヒロインのピュアな心、不器用だけど、ふたりが近づいていく・・・読んでいて涙がでました。幸せな2人の続きがみたいです！

The teacher casually cares about the heroine, or the heroine's pure heart, clumsy, but the two are getting closer... I burst into tears as I read. I want to see the continuation of these two happy people!

久しぶりに漫画読んで泣いた?

it's been a while since you read a comic and cried?

『デブとラブと過ちと』を読んで『ままかり』というペンネームが気になり、こちらの作品も読みました?『ままかり』ってアジを特製味噌で調理した、とっても美味しい日本の伝統料理ですね。美味し過ぎて、ご飯が足りなくなって、隣の家にご飯を借りに行きたくなる衝動に駆られる！そんなペンネームに名前負けしないくらい、先生の作品は素晴らしいです。多方面で、読む人に勇気や自信を与えてくれる?先生の作品を世に出してくれた事に感謝します。

I read “Fat to Love and Mistakes” and was curious about the pseudonym “Mamakari,” and did you read this work too? “Mamakari” is a very delicious traditional Japanese dish made from horse mackerel prepared with special miso. It was so delicious, there wasn't enough food, and I was driven by the urge to go borrow food from the house next door! The teacher's work is so amazing that his name doesn't give up to such a pseudonym. Does it give courage and confidence to those who read it in many ways? I am grateful that you brought your work to the world.

距離感！

sense of distance!

特別で劇的な展開があるわけではないのに、たったひとつ、触れてもらうまでのドラマ。そして先生と立夏ちゃんの距離感が最高です！！！

Even though there aren't any special or dramatic developments, it's just one drama that I've been touched upon. And the sense of distance between the teacher and Rikatsu is amazing!!!

男性恐怖症を克服して

Overcoming androphobia

小さい頃の父親の暴力で男性恐怖症になった主人公が好きな人が出来て、男性恐怖症を克服出来そうになり、涙が出ました。絵が優しくてか弱い女性を描くのがとても上手だと思います。Happy　Endを希望してます。

Someone liked the main character, who had androphobia due to her father's violence when she was little, and it seemed like she was able to overcome her androphobia, and I burst into tears. I think she's very good at drawing gentle and weak women. I hope for a happy end.

優しくて泣ける?

are you so kind that you can cry?

子供の頃の父親からのDV…そして男性恐怖症をゴリラ先生と克服していく立夏ちゃんが、健気でピュアで母親思いのとっても優しい女性。それだけに過去のトラウマがかわいそう過ぎて…?ゴリラ先生も見た目怖いけど温かく包んでくれる人だし、登場キャラ達が皆さん温かい?立夏ちゃんがラストでゴリラ先生に頬を触れてもらえるシーンは涙でした。心温かくなる良いお話しです。

DV from her father when she was a child... and Rikatsu, who overcomes her androphobia with her gorilla teacher, is a very kind woman who is healthy, pure, and has feelings for her mother. that's why I feel so sorry for my past trauma...? Gorilla Sensei is also a person who looks scary but wraps you warmly, and are all the characters that appear warm? The last scene where Tachibana was touched on the cheek by Gorilla Sensei was tearful. It's a good heartwarming story.

可愛くて癒されます

It's cute and soothing

This review contains spoilers. ピュアで優しいお話。このあとの展開が気になりますが、「完結」なのであとは想像におまかせって感じでしょうか。あっという間に読み終えてのでちょっと残念。男性恐怖症だったけれど強くて男らしくて優しくて礼儀正しい男性。遠回りしたのは彼に出会うためだったってことかな。ピュアなお話をありがとうございました。

This review contains spoilers. A pure and gentle story. I'm worried about developments after this, but since it's “complete,” I think I'll leave the rest up to my imagination. It's a bit disappointing that I finished reading it so fast. A man who had a phobia of men, but was strong, manly, kind, and polite. I guess the reason I took the detour was to meet him. Thank you so much for your pure talk.

可愛いかっこいい

cute cool

This review contains spoilers. 小さい頃の環境は本当に大事だと思うからこんなにお母さんを思い強く優しいりっかがこんなふうになってしまうのは本当に辛かったと思います。男性恐怖症の方だけじゃないです！そんなことのない普通の女性だって知らない人やなんとも思っていない人に近づかれたり、触られたりしたら本当に心底いやですよ！！！近づかれるのもいやですよ！！！なので一歩踏み出したりっかに心からの敬愛を送ります！

This review contains spoilers. I think the environment when I was little was really important, so I think it was really painful for Rika to be so compassionate and kind to her mother. It's not just people who are afraid of men! Even normal women who don't have that kind of thing really don't want to be approached or touched by people they don't know or think anything about!! I don't want to be approached either!! So I just took a step forward and send my sincere respect!
