Adapted from Koshi Tachibana’s acclaimed light novel series, Date A Live centers around Shido Itsuka, the main protagonist. The story unfolds in a fictional world on the Eurasia continent, plagued by mysterious phenomena known as "spatial quakes." This is a unique phenomenon with unknown origins that causes violent vibrations in space.

When Shido attempts to rescue his younger sister Kotori from an imminent spatial quake, he gets caught up in the phenomenon himself. This event leads him to discover the existence of otherworldly beings called "spirits," whose appearances trigger the quakes. Caught in the conflict between these spirits and the Anti-Spirit Strike Team, whose aim is to eliminate them, Shido's adventurous journey begins.

Forced to join the Spirit-supporting organization Ratatoskr, led by his sister Kotori, Shido learns of his unique ability to pacify the spirits by making them fall in love with him. Thus, he embarks on a peculiar journey to save both his world and the spirits. The series offers a seamless blend of action, fantasy, and sci-fi elements, complemented by romance woven into its narrative.
