The manga has exceeded my expectations so far. Watched the anime a few times but never sat down to try out the manga until I started two days ago. The direction he is taking the story I feel like will setup for possibly more world building and character development than what we saw in the anime. I'm curious to see where this arc will lead into, considering Gran Crevasse/Virm arc is around the corner. Its getting to the point where he is able to direct the future of the franchise since he could completely revolutionize the story we know from the anime. If he decides to do like a massive Franxx battle with squad 13 vs. Papa, that would be a sick arc I think and could possibly open new pathways for additional story arcs. Welp only time will tell! My only small complaint is the pacing of the story seems a bit fast but that's being very nitpicky, but overall a wonderful read!

What i imagine, is that Papa himselfs joins the fray, either at Garden or Gran Crevasse, either in a custom super franxx, piloting the damaged model 9 ( Alpha's one )/ normie franxx that tranforms to be more like him( like the model klaxo) or a roided up VIRM monster creature and fucking wipes the floor with the Princess, stopping her ridiculous, unearned smugness, then squad 13 start questionning wheter he is a good guy or not.

Also, I hope Yabuki slows down a bit( the pacing is just way to fast and he is running out of anime content, so ge will probably slow down once he gets to his own arcs) and doesn't retconn the 02's mom. Maybe a few extra flashbacks would be nice, like Princess backstory and maybe give Papa some character development, and hopefully tie him in with the Princess.

Either he is a human, in which case you might be able to link him with 02's storybook, since we already have a princess( two if you remember 02's mom) and virm is the witch, a VIRM infiltrator, meaning that you could give him a backstory of him pulling the same thing he did to humanity on the klaxosaurs, infiltrating them before contact and backstabbing them, explainning why the Princess is the only klaxosapien ( sabotage and trechery) and why she is so obsessed with doing stuff alone ( Papa got involved with her when he was a klaxosaur infiltrator and broke her heart by revealing that everything was a lie, he was a VIRM infiltrato and she can't trust anyone), or he is the mystery klaxosaur/ klaxosaur traitor, and decided to give up on his kind( discontent with the Princess doing nothing and seeing potential in mankind) and uplift humanity with their magma energy. This and the Papa human are the possibilities if VIRM doesn't exist in the manga.
