About Date A Live IV

If you are hunting for a new action series, Date A Live IV (デート・ア・ライブIV) deserves a look (2022). The setup goes like this. In short: Despite the numerous challenges he has overcome so far, Shidou Itsuka's assignment with Ratatoskr is far from over. In a departure from his daily routine, Shidou encounters a starving woman lying on the street and ends up helping her.

Soon after, after the two arrive at her apartment, the woman introduces herself as Nia Honjou—a popular manga artist working under a pen name. However, cutting straight to the chase, Nia uncovers that she is also a Spirit and is aware of Shidou's concealed operation. Interested in seeing his charisma firsthand, Nia challenges Shidou to win her over on a date.
