Date A Live
Synopsis: Thirty years ago, the Eurasia continent was devastated by a "supermassive" space earthquake - a phenomenon involving unknown spatial vibrations - resulting in the death of more than 150 million people. Since then, these earthquakes have been plaguing the world intermittently, though on a lighter scale.
Shidou Itsuka is a seemingly average high school student who lives with his younger sister, Kotori. When an imminent space earthquake threatens the safety of the city of Tengu, it runs to save it, only to be caught in the resulting eruption. He discovers a mysterious girl in his source, who is revealed as a "spirit," an entity of another world whose appearance triggers a space earthquake. Soon after, he gets involved in a skirmish between the girl and the anti-spirit team, a relentless attack force with the objective of annihilating spirits.
However, there is a third who believes to save the spirits: "Ratatoskr", which is surprisingly commanded by Shidou's younger sister! Kotori forcibly recruits Shidou after the confrontation, presenting him an alternative method of dealing with the danger represented by the spirits - let him fall in love with him. Now the fate of the world rests on his dating prowess, as he seeks spirits to enchant them.
