The Magic Touch, Vol. 5

Can typical teen Chiaki melt high school heartthrob Yousuke's cold heart...through her extraordinary talent in massage?! R to L (Japanese Style). Chiaki arrives at the enigmatic Ohnuki's Massage School, where she will learn a powerful lesson in massage--and in life! More lessons await when Yosuke goes on a sleepwalking rampage and Chiaki bumps into Mihime, who must once again struggle with his feelings for her... The star of her high school's Massage Research Society club, Chiaki Togu is otherwise a normal, quiet girl until she falls in love at first sight with a gorgeous back--a back that happens to belong to Yosuke, the hottest guy at her school!
