Double Arts
A shounen story of a boy named Kiri Luchile and a female Sister Elraine are forced to hold hands because of a deadly disease. The disease is called Troi and spreads by touching others, however Kiri for some reason is not only immune, but also able to cure (at least help cure) it as long as you’re touching him. Sister Elraine is special too, some few females have a resistance to the plague and she does. With that power she can touch sick people and absorb the poison that quickly grows in a person’s body. One flaw though, if you are infected and the disease cannot spread through contact with clothes, why not cover youself up so you’re hard to touch? There isn’t very much traditional shounen action, but the two main characters wouldn’t have discovered each over if Sister Elraine didn’t nearly die. Even though this manga isn’t trilling, the premise of the series gives it moments of glory.

Double Arts could lead to be something much more. They could find more people like Kiri, a way to give his immunity to others, or lead to him sacrificing himself to cure the plague altogether. Chapter one has the two finding each other and explains much of the basics. No fan sevice and Sister Elraine doesn’t appear to be a Rei clone. She was willing to die because Kiri would be the target of all sorts of shady and greedy foes. If you’re looking for a great styled ‘face fault’ filled fantasy series, this’ll fit that space.
