Western manga and light novel publisher Yen Press announced during the Virtual Crunchyroll Expo they have licensed the popular Spirit-dating light novel series Date A Live and will be releasing the first volume in February 2021.
The news was, of course, also delivered through their social media account:
After a devastating series of events called “spatial quakes” that led to hundreds of millions dead, smaller quakes began occurring on Earth over the next 30 years.
Series protagonist Shido Itsuka one day meets a mysterious girl called a “Spirit” at the center of a spatial quake. From there he learns that these Spirits manifesting themselves into the world are the cause of these cataclysmic tremors.
With the help of secret organization “Ratatoskr” and his adoptive sister Kotori, Shido is tasked with stopping the powers of the Spirits by making them fall in love with him and initiating a kiss.
The series’ popularity in Japan resulted in the light novel running for 22 volumes from 2011 until 2020, several anime, manga, video game adaptations, and other spin-offs.
and once again the bashers arw out in full force. just be glad that it got licensed in the US, but if wont satisfy any of you weaboos until the industry stop doing business with the US!
well too bad! IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN! GROW UP MANBABIES!
I have a solution. If it is censored in a way I don’t like, then I won’t buy.
It’s not gonna be censored.
Do you even know what a weeb is or are you confusing it for otaku? And the lot of us don’t care about licensing DAL. Fan translations already finished the last vol a long time ago so there’s no need for us to bother with the OFFICIAL version. All that matters to us is that we finished the story
Full of censors and unneeded edits and on top of that vol 1? Fucking vol 1 in 2021 when it came out 2011. 10 years after it fucking started where everyone has read it by this point!
I won’t trust them. They might censor content.
They dont usually censor content but their release dates are hella long. They usually release a new vol roughly 3-5 months after the previous vol is released

I bought one of them manga’s that is not censored.
It is called “Lust Geass”.
And censored in the west
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Will probably get removed from online stores like other lightnovels because it has l♥♥i lewds.
Yoshino lewds are the best thing that came out of this series.
