Story

The star of her high school's Massage Research Society club, Chiaki Togu falls in love-at-first-sight with a gorgeous back - one that belongs to Yosuke, the hottest guy at school! Unfortunately, Chiaki's attraction to Yosuke is thwarted by her own insecurity and the scheming of other girls - especially by her twin sister Saya!

Izumi Tsubaki began drawing manga in her first year of high school. She was soon selected to be in the top 10 of Hana to Yume's HMC (Hana to Yume Mangaka Course), and subsequently won Hana to Yume's Athens Newcomer and Big Challenge contests. Her debut title, Chijimete Distance (Shrink the Distance), ran in 2002 in Hana to Yume magazine, issue 17. In addition to The Magic Touch (originally published in Japan as Oyayubi kara Romance, or Romance from the Thumbs), she is also currently working on the manga series Oresama Teacher (I’m the Teacher). Tsubaki-sensei hails from Saitama prefecture, her birthday is December 11, and she confesses that she enjoys receiving massages more than she enjoys giving them.

Though Yosuke seems out of Chiaki's league, she would do anything to give him a massage. The two eventually strike up a deal in which she will be allowed to touch his back if she can make him fall in love with her. What Chiaki doesn't know is the real reason Yosuke wants to hang around her: to avenge his younger brother, who was allegedly deceived and dumped by somebody named Chiaki Togu!

Chiaki and Yosuke are just beginning to heat up as a couple. But what will happen when Yosuke starts to feel jealous of Chiaki's handsome massage mentor... or when Chiaki is abducted during a Massage Club trip? One thing's for sure: this relationship is in for a rubdown that's anything but smooth!

I like Chiaki she is sooo cute she is not annoying as other heroines r. I have vol 1 and can't wait for new updates on __. I wonder if this author's other work Oresama teacher will be serialized in the US. That series is funny too/
