Date A Live: Date to Date

Synopsis

Continues the story of Date A Live

Three decades ago, a colossal "spatial quake," a baffling spatial anomaly, ravaged the Eurasian continent, claiming more than 150 million lives. Although these disturbances have since occurred globally on a reduced scale, the threat remains. Shidou Itsuka is a typical high schooler residing with his younger sister, Kotori. When a spatial quake looms over Tengu City, Shidou dashes to shield Kotori but becomes engulfed in the eruption. At the epicenter, he encounters a mysterious girl identified as a "Spirit," a supernatural entity whose existence triggers these quakes. Shidou is immediately thrust into a clash between this girl and the Anti-Spirit Team, a brutal organization committed to exterminating Spirits. However, a third faction known as "Ratatoskr" appears, advocating for the preservation of Spirits. To Shidou's shock, this group is commanded by his own sister. Following the confrontation, Kotori compels Shidou to enlist in their mission, unveiling a peculiar strategy to neutralize the Spirit threat: making them fall in love with him. The future of the world now hinges on Shidou's capacity to capture the hearts of the Spirits.
