Date A Live IV

Synopsis

Shido's attempts to win Nia's heart, both by acting like her favorite manga character, Tokiya, and communicating with her through a video game demo, fail, which gives Ratatoskr the idea of entering and submitting their own amateur manga. If they win, Nia will be forced to read it. Thanks to Rasiel, Nia is made aware of their plan, but decides to humor them by accepting the challenge anyway. Everyone ends up drawing a practice sketch of Shido to determine who will land a role on the illustration team. In the end, Natsumi is elected head artist while the Yamai twins and Origami aid as assistants.

While the Spirits work hard at creating the manga, Shido and Kotori visit Takajo, Nia's old friend whom she eventually started to avoid, leading her friend to believe Nia did not like her anymore. This causes Kotori to believe that Rasiel made Nia aware of people's hidden dark thoughts. However, Shido believes Nia wouldn't do that and can overcome this problem with the help of the Spirits. Meanwhile, Kurumi visits Nia and asks her if there is a way to destroy the Spirit of Origin, the Spirit responsible for the creation of all Spirits. Nia tells her that the Spirit of Origin is so powerful that defeating her in straight-up combat is impossible, but Kurumi believes she can get around that with time travel. Natsumi manages to finish the manga in time, but passes out from exhaustion. At the same time, the other Spirits also state that they have completed their preparations for the festival.
