he was the 'leftover body' sorta speak! he came up a decent amount in the beginning and later its explained he is the body and lin yang was the soul
edit: lin yang was hiding for fate basicly and left his body for distraction
Nina 17, Shirley 17. He is constantly patting them on the head, str*k*ng their hair and there is a lot about how giddy and warm it makes them feel. Shirley even calls him daddy. His 100 year old estranged pretend daughter also specifically calls him daddy even though the last time they met they went to war with each other. There are many male priests, but he keeps collecting young female ones that are described as being beautiful and again finds ways to always stroke them.

I am a huge fan of the Sola anime, and once I discovered it was based on a manga, I purchased it without hesitation. Now, does the manga live up to the quality of the anime?
STORY
I'd say it's just average. The story concept is excellent and worked brilliantly for the anime, but the storytelling in the manga is rather mediocre. With only two volumes, it's too brief to fully explore all the potential content. The narrative moves at a rapid pace, skipping over many details. There are numerous "filler" scenes where characters engage in random, seemingly pointless actions that don't contribute much to the plot. Additionally, the manga is riddled with plot holes—new questions arise frequently, yet few are adequately addressed before more questions emerge. This issue is compounded by the fast-paced events, leaving little time to fully grasp what's happening, which can make the story somewhat confusing despite its promise.
ART
One of the first things you'll notice about the manga is how unique and appealing the characters look. The female characters are designed with charm. A standout feature of the artwork is the character expressions—they perfectly reflect the characters' emotions. However, the art style is relatively simple, lacking depth. While there are some well-drawn frames, others lack detail, sometimes even omitting backgrounds entirely. This lack of sophistication in the art is one of the manga's main drawbacks.
CHARACTER
As previously mentioned, the characters are unique and likable. If you're into cute girls, this manga delivers. The characters are quite realistic, their actions driven by clear motives. There's significant depth to the characters, especially since they all have interconnected backstories. Their pasts remain shrouded in mystery, keeping readers curious about the truth.
ENJOYMENT
The fast-paced story made it challenging to follow without re-reading or reading very carefully. I didn't find any scene particularly humorous, despite the manga's attempts at comedy. The mood could have been better if it were more consistent, as the tone shifts between serious and lighthearted moments throughout the manga.
CONCLUSION
If you're a Sola fan, you might still enjoy it due to differing events. If you're interested in an intriguing plot and don't mind investing extra time to understand it, this could be worth exploring. However, I strongly recommend watching the anime instead.
