Double Arts (ダブルアーツ, Daburu Ātsu?) is a manga series by Naoshi Komi (古味直志, Komi Naoshi?). It began serialization on March 24, 2008 in Weekly Shōnen Jump issue #17. The story revolves around a fictional world whose inhabitants live in perpetual dread of a deadly disease known as Troy (トロイ, toroi?). Almost universally fatal, Troy is most feared for its terminal stage, where the afflicted becomes transparent and eventually fades away, leaving only the clothes they had on behind.

There is only one known treatment for Troy; the help of a Sister. Sisters are women with a remarkably high resistance to Troy. When discovered, they are taken to the central church for training and sent about to cure afflicted people of the plague. Sisters "heal" their patients by clasping their hands and absorbing the toxin produced by Troy into themselves. While the process will enable the patient to live, it brings the Sister closer and closer to her own demise; Sisters are resistant, but not immune to Troy, after absorbing a certain amount of the Troy toxin, they too will disappear.

Against this backdrop, the plot follows the adventures of Sister Elraine Figarette (エルレイン・フィガレット, erurein figaretto?) and Kili Luchile (キリ・ルチレ, kiri ruchire?), one a famous Sister with a remarkably high resistance to Troy, and the other, a mysteriously gifted boy with a miraculous immunity to Troy. Their fates were tied together when Elraine finally reached her limit and succumbed to Troy, only to be saved by Kili who held her death at bay by clutching her hand. Kili's remarkable immunity to Troy is transferred to anyone touching his hand, but disappears whenever he is let go. As such, the two must cling together to keep Elraine alive, as they struggle to find a way to make it to the Church's headquarters, in hopes of using Kili's immunity to end the plague

Characters:
Kili and Ellie

Main Character

Kili Luchile is the story's primary male protagonist. He is a very artistic and upbeat young man with a variety of unique and remarkable skills. Of those abilities, two are most pertinent to the tale. The first is his immunity to the Troy plague; he is the first person in living memory unaffected in any way by Troy. Not only that, he is also able to halt the disease by having an afflicted person touch him. This is likely due in part to his second ability: his self-named "Flare". "Flare" to put it simply, is power wrought in cooperation. By touching another individual, Kili's physical abilities and processes, as well as those he touches, are increased in proportion to the number of people he grasps. I.e. Kili and Elraine hold hands, their individual strengths are doubled, with three people, each person's strength is tripled, and so on and so forth. The ability is apparently unheard of in this world, and constantly surprises everyone Kili meets. However, in his fight with Lucci Zezu, Lucci seems to know something about it after coming into contact with it, calling it an ability that "only one person was supposed to have". This implied that Kili isn't the only one to have the power.

As of chapter 19, Kili, and Elraine are training to develop a fighting style, made specifically, to take advantage of Kili's "Flare" ability. Although the only part of the training seen so far is dancing. As said by Fallen, dancing is supposed to help Kili, and Elraine be in sync, and as one. The name of the style, is called "Double Arts". (The same name as the manga)

In addition to his "Flare" abilities, Kili is shown to be a very talented artist, his bedroom filled with sculptures he creates. His skill is so high that he was able to carve a beautiful sculpture out of a block of wood in only moments. He is even able to use this talent in situations that people would normally not think to use it: he was once able to create a makeshift sword, during a Gazelle attack, by putting together his attacker's throwing knives. Kili has also been shown to be an excellent tailor, mending a rip in Elraine's clothes in a second, even adding a patch to it. And this was done all with one hand.

Kili is very kindhearted and willing to do anything for anyone. This is shown when he and Elraine are escaping, he stops and argues with her, because he wants to return to help the other Sisters. He eventually drags her back with him, to help them. He is also able to cook, since his mother doesn't and the task is left to him and his father.

Sister Elraine Figarette is the female protagonist of this story. Also known as "Elle" or "Ellie". Sister Elraine is one of the traveling Sisters who save people from Troy at the cost of their own health.

Elraine is a stupendously famous Sister. She possesses a heretofore unheard of resistance to the Troy toxin, and has been able to heal upwards of thousands of people. Her success has earned her the title of "the White Fairy" among fellow Sisters, making her a veritable celebrity in the Church. This fame is only bolstered when she discovers Kili Luchile, the only person ever found with an immunity to the plague.

She is a bright young girl with a somewhat sad, though nonetheless cheerful disposition. Prior to meeting Kili, she was very fatalistic and viewed her Sistership as more of a burden than anything else. But finding a chance at life she never thought possible in Kili, she grows more open and upbeat as their journey progresses. Though she can maintain a serene demeanor, she is very easily flustered, particularly when people chide her about her relationship with Kili, a relationship she maintains is purely Platonic.

From her story, it seems that she's a Nagi. She's also a sound sleeper, that put Kili at ordeals every night (she kicks and punches everywhere during sleeps, accidentally hitting Kili, with their power now doubled), forcing Kili to make a barrier in their bed (she thinks Kili is doing this for her concern).

I have more information on this Manga,if anyone want to know more^^
