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.

I'm looking for a romance manga where the main character does not like/want to be touched. Any and all physical contact 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.



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 ... ^^"

Maison Ikkoku i think this one apply

But not the main character, but the female leads.
