No Touching At All
On the first day of Shima's new job, he meets a man with a hangover in the elevator. That was his first encounter with his new boss, Togawa. Though Togawa seems rude, Shima is drawn to the kindness beneath his rough…
On his first day at a new job, the reserved and introverted Shima steps into an elevator and into the orbit of his soon-to-be boss, Togawa – a gruff, chain-smoking man nursing a hangover. Their initial encounter is far from charming, yet Shima finds himself inexplicably drawn to the kindness lurking beneath Togawa’s abrasive exterior. As they work side‑by‑side in a mundane Tokyo office, an unexpected connection blossoms between the two very different men. But Shima carries scars from a past workplace romance that ended in betrayal, while Togawa wrestles with his own demons and a seemingly casual addiction to cigarettes and alcohol. This is not a story of easy love; it’s a quiet, achingly real exploration of two wounded souls learning to trust again. Every stolen glance, each hesitant touch, and the heavy silences between them speak louder than words. Adapted faithfully from Yoneda Kou’s acclaimed manga, *No Touching At All* strips away all melodrama to deliver a raw, atmospheric, and deeply moving portrait of queer love in a world that rarely makes room for it.
