The clock is ticking! June 5. The day another disaster strikes Shido's high school. Transferring into his class is a new student, Kurumi, who immediately makes the jaw-dropping confession that she's a Spirit. With a twisted sense of justice and homicidal tendencies, she seems to buzz with impish glee whenever she destroys a piece of the world and its human populace.

As tensions mount, Shido is instructed to do the one thing that will placate her: ridiculously enough, taking Kurumi out on a date and making her fall head over heels for him!

Date A Live, Vol. 3 (light novel) by Koushi Tachibana and Tsunako Tsunako captures the thrilling challenge as Shido navigates a perilous encounter with this enigmatic Spirit.
