This is kind of the opposite of what I was looking for a while back. I've tried looking through the forum, categories, and search for something like this, but I couldn't really find what I was looking for. I'll keep looking on my own, but I'd also like to hear suggestions from others. 1o6j5f

I'm looking for a romance manga where the main character does not like/want to be touched. Any and all physical is a big No-No. I want the story to revolve around the characters learning to either cope with this problem or to learn to get over it. It doesn't matter if it's for the romance or not, but I would like there to be romance between the main character and someone else. I'd prefer that the reason for "no touching" is not from androphobia/gynophobia or just being a clean freak, but any reason will be fine so long as they have set that restriction.

Preferred (but not limited to):
Female main character
Shoujo/Josei
Romance
At least 1 volume in length
Completed series OR updated regularly

No:
Hentai
Shounen ai, Shoujo ai, Yaoi, Yuri
Student-Teacher relationship (unless it takes place in college, no high/middle/elementary school)
Huge age gaps
Inconclusive endings
Rushed endings/Axed (unless it has an actual conclusion, or it's just that good)

Please and thank you~! 🙂

Keppeki Shounen Kanzen Soubi but it has a male lead though.

Alrighty~! Male leads are fine, so thanks! :>

Still open~

Darn it, I can name four shounen ai right off the bat. >.< It's actually one of my favorite plot devices. It's a MU category, "aphephobia", though there aren't many series listed under it.

Bitter Virgin is the only one I can think of that kinda fits. Completed series.

Akuma to Love Song has it, but it's very hard to notice since they don't emphasize it much (apparently no one really touches her?). It eventually becomes apparent as a plot element.

Just throwing it out there but how about the extra in flower in a storm

First one I had to think of was Bitter Virgin, too. Besides this, you can give Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Koibana! - Koiseyo Hanabi a try, even if they are still ongoing.

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun: The female main character wants the male counterpart to keep his distance from her, and this keeps up for a few chapters, till she comes to realize his and her feelings.

Koibana! - Koiseyo Hanabi: The female lead actually has a phobia and hates guys, but ended up in a school that consists mostly of boys and slowly starts to get close to one of them ...

There is also Hana no Kishi and Honey Bitter, but I'm not too sure about those, since it's been a while since I was reading them ... ^^"

"It's like love is a bonus in your life. Even without it, I'm just fine. I don't feel like pointlessly searching for it. You don't have to make yourself unhappy." (Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji)

"Why does it rain?" - "To create drama." (Drops (Andou Yuki))

Mysterious Girlfriend X

Maison Ikkoku i think this one apply
1 Pound no Fukuin
But not the main character, but the female leads.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) - "Man is more ape than many of the apes."

Jean-Paul Sartre - "You are--your life, and nothing else."

Henrik Ibsen - "The majority is always wrong; the minority is rarely right."

Taken note of all of them! Thanks, guys!

Still open for more! :>

Bump~
