Solomon all the way. As others have said, he is very flawed, but extremely likeable (although his obsession with Saya is annoying). He has perhaps has the most character development in the entire series, and I rarely ever say that about anime characters in general, though there are a few exceptions. Solomon is one of them.

But what's not to like? He's a gentleman, polite, romantic, and generally cheerful. While on the flip side, he is selfish, indecisive, and ruthless in battle. I also don't believe he understands other people's feeling well, despite being an emotional person himself. I guess that just further adds to his selfishness. He is also a bit dishonest and manipulative, just so that he could further his own interests.

He even seems like the type of person who will do anything to get what he wants, and if he doesn't he will react intensely. And of course given his background, there is a reason for this; he was a spoiled and rich person who is used to getting what he wants, but he eventually comes to learn that life doesn't always work that way, especially when it comes to love (and believe me, he knows where his looks could get him as it was stated in the light novel). And since he sees loving someone as a flaw, I don't think he understood it and confused his infatuation with Saya for love as being infatuated with someone is usually based on selfish desire. Wheras Hagi's love was selfless and he only desired for her to be happy no matter what. Solomon was only concerned about how Saya made him feel and never took her needs and feelings into consideration, and that to me is not love at all.

Sorry for the lengthy post, but I had to share. Lol
