No Touching At All is a solid entry in the yaoi market. I really enjoyed that all 200+ pages was a continuation of one story line - the romance between shy Shima and his boss, extrovert Togawa.Shima gets his introduction to his boss in the elevator. Togawa is still drunk and stinks to high heaven, not a great first impression! He barely makes it out of the elevator before he has to race to the bathroom before he loses his breakfast!
At first the overbearing Togawa put Shima on edge. Togawa is persistent in wanting to spend time with Shima and finally they connect. It's not an easy relationship, Shima reluctant to get involved with a straight man. But Togawa is sweet and attentive. Will Shima risk his heart for a chance at happiness?
The artwork is great. I love Yoneda's expressive style and clean lines. The story line is good (not as good as Yamada's No One Loves Me ) but close. I didn't give it a five star because at times I had a difficult time with the translation. Sometime I didn't know who was talking and that's irritating. But that's my biggest complaint, so that's not so bad :)
I look forward to other manga by this artist.

You talked me into it -- it's on its way from Amazon, and I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm also looking forward to more Yugi Yamada -- Close the Last Door 2 is also coming, and the others you reviewed recently look good, too.
Thanks.
Got it, read it, loved it. This is one of the best I can remember, at least in terms of watching the relationship develop.
Thanks for the tip.
Glad you enjoyed it. I read it again I loved it even more than the first time I read it.
