Adaptations of light novels into manga form is pretty common and Date a Live, a light novel series by Koushi Tachibana, is no exception. With a few spinoff pieces and fun material along the way, it’s also gotten a pretty good adaptation from Sekihiko Inui, which began in the fall of 2013 in Shounen Ace. With the arrival of the second compiled volume, it’s been revealed that the third volume that’s due out in the winter of next year will be the final volume for the series.
FUNimation has been picking up and dealing with the anime side of the adaptations but the novels and manga sides have not been touched yet.
Series concept: April 10th. Yesterday was the last day of spring vacation, so starting this morning it was a school day. After being woken up by his cute little sister, Itsuka Shidou believed that it would be the start of another normal day. As for predicting the chance meeting with the girl who called herself a spirit…
Along with a sudden shockwave, the townscape vanished without a trace. In a corner of the street which had now become a crater, the girl was there.
“—You, have you come to kill me too?”
She is the disaster that will destroy humanity, a monster of unknown origin, and a being rejected by the world. There are only two ways to stop this girl: annihilation, and conversation. His little sister Kotori, wrapped in a military uniform, thus said to Shidou: “Since it’s like this, just go date her, and make the spirit fall for you!” “Wh.. whaaaaaaaat!?” Enter a new age of boy meets girl!!
