Date A Live Merchandise – Where Romance Meets Apocalypse Prevention
Most harem protagonists stumble into their predicaments. Shido Itsuka gets drafted into his by military command, tasked with sealing the powers of dimension-shattering Spirits through the time-honoured method of making them fall in love with him. It's a premise that shouldn't work, yet Kōshi Tachibana's light novels turned it into a franchise spanning novels, manga, five anime seasons, and visual novel games. Our Date A Live merchandise brings that world to collectors who've followed Shido's increasingly complicated romantic entanglements from the beginning.
What defines Date A Live?
Date A Live began as a light novel series written by Kōshi Tachibana, first published by Fujimi Fantasia Bunko on 19 March 2011. The story follows Shido Itsuka, an ordinary high school student who discovers he has the ability to seal the powers of Spirits — beings from another dimension whose appearances cause devastating spatial quakes. Rather than eliminating them, Shido must make the Spirits fall in love with him to neutralise their threat. The franchise features an extensive cast including Tohka Yatogami, the first Spirit Shido saves; Kurumi Tokisaki, the series' most popular antagonist-turned-ally; and Shido's adoptive sister Kotori Itsuka, who secretly commands the organisation Ratatoskr. The anime adaptation by Anime International Company has run for five seasons totalling 46 episodes, while additional media includes OVAs, manga adaptations, and visual novel games published by Compile Heart and Idea Factory International.
