Sola English Sub & Dub

About Sola

Here is what Sola is about, retold in plain terms: a supernatural, romance and slice of life anime by Nomad (2007). What the story covers: Yorito Morimiya is obsessed with the sky. He especially loves taking pictures of its array of different faces—sunrises, sunsets, clouds.

From there, on one of his early-morning excursions to photograph the sunrise, Yorito crosses paths with an odd girl engaged in an argument with a vending machine. By the time that Yorito forces the girl's tomato juice out of the machine, she's vanished without a trace. Sola follows the story of Yorito, his sister Aono, and their childhood companions Mana and Koyori Ishizuki, as well as that of an unexplained girl who appears and disappears, and who seems to harbor a dark secret.

As a supernatural title, spirits, curses and unexplained forces shape both mood and plot. This one is best suited to fans of eerie, otherworldly settings.
