Manato
マナト
One of the main characters in the series, being one of the original members of the party. He decided to be the Priest of the party.
On top of being a Priest, he’s a capable fighter as well. He’s described as a “defensive tank” by Haruhiro. He’s considered the leader since he brought the group together.
He dies early in the story due to an ambush set by a group of goblins. As the party tries to flee, he gets shot in the back by an arrow. He ignores the pain as he doesn’t want to burden his teammates, which causes him to lose too much blood, ending up killing him. He is later replaced by Merry as the new Priest.
