About Date a Live
Koshi Tachibana wrote the Date a Live novel series, which was serialized by Fujimi Shobo with Tsunako’s illustrations from 2012 to 2020 with a total of 22 volumes. A TV anime adaptation premiered in 2013, animated by AIC PLUS+ and directed by Keitaro Motonaga. Subsequent seasons were produced by different studios, including Production IMS, J.C.

Kurumi Togisaki was voted the Best Girl of Spring 2024, with Tohka in 7th place. Date a Live V also took the Spring 2024 awards for both the opening and ending theme songs, best ship or couple, best boy, as well as the main seiyuu awards.
Yen Press is publishing the Date a Live light novel series in English, while Crunchyroll streams the anime. They describe the story:
Ordinary high school boy Shido discovers a mysterious girl at ground zero of a recent spacequake. Shido learns, through his sister Kotori, that the girl is one of the Spirits: mystical creatures responsible for the spacequakes. Shido is recruited to help “seal” the sprits and end their threat to mankind. There’s just one catch: the only way to seal a spirit—is to make her fall in love with you.
