Touch (Japanese: タッチ, Hepburn: Tatchi) is a Japanese high school baseball manga series written and illustrated by Mitsuru Adachi. It was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday from 1981 to 1986, with its chapters were collected into 26 tankōbon volumes.
The manga has been adapted into an anime television series – which was one of the highest-rated anime television series ever, three theatrical anime films which summarized the TV series, two anime television specials which take place after the events of the TV series, a live-action TV drama special, and a live-action film released in 2005.
Touch has sold over 100 million copies, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time. In 1983, it was one of the winners of the Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen and shōjo categories, along with Adachi's other work Miyuki.
