Description
A boy and a girl are forced to join hands for all eternity!? In a land ravaged by an epidemic known as "Troy", the only people with healing arts capable of stopping the seizures caused by the disease are the Sisters. Although they have a high resistance to the disease, they are searching for a person who is truly immune, so that they can find a cure. The main character is Sister Elraine, one of the Sisters who becomes infected with Troy. But, when she touches Kiri, a seemingly ordinary boy, her seizures stop. Could he be the one!?
In volume 1 is included the oneshot Island:
A story that takes place on the day Aira turned 14, and learned the devastating truth about the island she lives on, which is completely surrounded by a huge wall...
Seriously, how could they!? This is a EXTREMELY good manga and I enjoyed every second of it! [I guess it appeals more to American artists...] The art designs were pretty unique and the plot was made nicely... WHY!? [Well.. Answering my own question and many other's, this was published in one of Shonen Jump's magazines... They thought it was starting to get closer to romance so readers got worried and wanted the series to change and/or end. If Double Arts was published in a Shojo magazine, it would have done better.] So overall, I think Double Arts should be translated.
Ever since the first chapter, Double Arts was one of the few mangas that was not only original, but it had a complex plot that had so many questions with very few answers.
The characters stand out with amazement and lots of development were seen at such a good pace, but most of all, the storyline was the main reason why I started to read this manga in the first place.
Sadly, it seems that most WSJ readers (in Japan), didn't find this intriquing like some did, and seemingly had the series canceled on purpose, not giving it or the author a chance to flesh it out more.
Despite this, however, I see a good future for Naoshi Komi. If memory serves correctly, Tite Kubo has his first manga series, Zombie Powder, with not so satisfactory results, but did well the second time with Bleach. I'm confident that Naoshi Komi would do exactly the same thing with his next project.
OMGGG not againnn!!! I started reading double arts yesterday from chp1-11 and i stopped because i thought to myself "this is a good manga and very original too...i should hold onto it until 20-30 chapters so that i can enjoy reading the rest of the chapters" but HELL NO it was short lived!!! when i just found out today that double arts was cancelled i felt that my balls were completely crushed by the hand of the japanese people. The same thing happened to Mx0 too.
Please (T.T).....to anyone who is very close to the japanese manga community out there i really wish that this manga is to be continue further!! i hope the petition linked by zachd06 will help WSJ to realise that people outside of japan loves Double Arts. I feel sorry for the author..its a shame that his/her original artwork is being cancelled due to low ratings...oh man japanese people really are perverted thats why mangas like to-love-ru still exists because its so much fan service....nowadays mangas with lotsa fan-service and very obvious cliched storyline are bound to survive till the end.I really dont get it.
*edited* Oh and btw about the petition thingy how will it reach the japanese people?? Will they ever try to understand english or even read it?? From my past experience living in japan...there are the type of people who "lived in their own world" with exceptions to the gaming and sports industry that is...but things like this i doubt they will even bother unless you breathe the same air as them or unless you are a super-duper celebrity from hollywood or a football star...anyway sorry for being political heh =)
:[ This manga is my #1 favorite of all time. Its the perfect story. it has the right mix of action,adventure,suspense,humor, and a hint of romance. if i ever get rich he will be my personal mangaka o__o and he will write me stories all day long...
This was my favorite new series! It had an enjoyable story, lovable characters, and great humor. It never should been cancelled. I even signed a petition here even though I usually don't do that sort of stuff since it never works anyway. It does give me a nice feeling when I see all of the signatures anyway.
I just ask, why did this get canceled... How is To Love Ru still in existence and this gets canceled, its a real shame. This series showed such great potential.
After reading chapter 23 I thought something wasn't quite right. I had no idea that the series had ended because of 'low ratings'. It's a shame that this has happened because this series had great potential and a lot of people were enjoying it. Shame on you WSJ for cancelling a promising series.
I started reading this when it came out... And I really liked it too! I had been kind of hoping that it would end with those two.. you know.. like, how it did.. But it was too soon!! The ending is totally open for continuation though.. But I really don't know if it will be continued or not.. But I hope it does.. HOPE.. I like Komi Naoshi's works. AND I'M SO BUMMED THAT THIS HAPPENED! ..unpopular, my butt. I can't believe it.
Not having kept track of what was happening with this manga, I was shocked when I realized Ch. 23 was the end of it.
It's really a shame too, as this was becoming a favorite of mine, with a great storyline and engaging characters. I wasn't particularly fond of the art style, but that's just a personal preference of mine. I did think the author did a better job of wrapping this up in a hurry over some of the other recent mangaka in a similar situation (see MxO and B-Reaction for example), but it's still a terrible waste of potential. I can only hope that this gets another chance somewhere down the road (highly unlikely, but I'll keep my fingers crossed).
