Date A Live, Vol. 1: Dead-End Tohka

Date A Live: Book 1

Koushi Tachibana

A little meet-cute in a decimated city

April 10. The first day of school. Shido Itsuka is rudely awoken by his personal alarm clock--his little sister. It's shaping up to be another typical day... well, as typical as it gets on a planet plagued by massive spatial quakes. Little does Shido know, however, his life is about to take a sudden turn when he encounters the source of this destructive phenomenon--a girl his age, apparently known as a Spirit. Turns out, there are only two ways he can stop her from unleashing hell on the world: Eliminate her by force or placate her... by taking her out on a date and making her fall in love with him!

Things have only gotten stranger for Shido ever since Tohka transferred to his school. These days, his life teeters between heaven and hell, and the forecast today points toward the latter. He's already been caught in the line of fire between Tohka and Origami, and a sudden downpour leaves him sopping wet. Just his luck. Lately, it seems the only place he can catch a break is in the comfort of his own home. That's all about to change, however, when a new "training" regimen calls for him to live with Tohka--and while Shido is at his most vulnerable, a second Spirit emerges from the storm...

Transferring into his class is a new student, Kurumi, who immediately makes the jaw-dropping confession that she's... a Spirit. With a twisted sense of justice and homicidal tendencies, she seems to buzz with impish glee whenever she destroys a piece of the world and its human populace. As tensions mount, Shido is instructed to do the one thing that will placate her--ridiculously enough, taking Kurumi out on a date and making her fall head over heels for him!

Had Kotori Itsuka not shown up at the last second, everything would have been over... Nevertheless, Shido feels like his world has come crashing down, especially after discovering his little sister is a Spirit, too... Now he's been called to save her using the only method he knows: taking her on a date and making her fall for him. He needs to act fast--because he only has one day to complete this seemingly impossible mission!

As soon as his class reaches its destination, he immediately encounters twin Spirits Kaguya and Yuzuru.

With a voice bewitching enough to place anyone under her spell, this spoiled princess is used to getting her way. Dealing with her sense of entitlement is bad enough, but then Shido's attempts to win her heart quickly go awry when he makes a worrying discovery--Miku doesn't like men! If he wants to bring her into the fold, he's going to need to get... creative.

Date A Live, Vol. 9: Natsumi Change

Date A Live: Book 9

Koushi Tachibana

THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO TRANSFORM!

In a nail-biting finish, Shido managed to correctly guess who Natsumi was impersonating. His reward for beating her at her own game? A house full of screaming children! In an act of pure frustration, Natsumi turned Shido's friends into a bunch of kids before making a break for it. Of course, there's no need to worry because she's still hanging around, doing her best to ruin his reputation from a distance... Shido's only chance to return the gang to normal and reclaim any semblance of peace is to give Natsumi... a makeover?!

Fate is a tricky thing... Five years ago, a Spirit killed Origami Tobiichi's parents. Holding a grudge that has only grown since then, Origami turns to DEM in hopes of becoming powerful enough to enact her revenge by killing every last Spirit. Shido can see that this is guaranteed to lead her down a path of death and destruction, so he's ready to do whatever it takes to stop Origami's plans to attack Tohka and the others. But what if there was a chance to turn back the clock and potentially undo everything...?

While an overabundance of it grants him superhuman strength, it also puts him in an incredible amount of danger! As luck would have it, turning him back to normal is a fairly simple process.
