This series started out entertaining enough, like a vanilla ice cream cone it'n not great, but it gets the job done. But then you realize, "Why the hell am I eating this when a choc fudge sundae is right in front of me?" and to add insult to injury you discover the ice-cream was actually well past expiration and that is Date A Live. Same personalities as the thousands of other harem "comedy" characters made by generic Japanese authors, you got the dumb big titted heroine, the tsundere pigtailed sister, the loli, the douchey arrogant and loathable villains and of course the dumbass, ignorant, I-trust-anyone-and-everyone butt-monkey that is the "protagonist" who believes the world's many problems can be solved with "friendship POWA!!!!" alone.
Man do I loathe this series.

The first volume was probably the best I have read in the novel so far (I'm up to volume 4). The story progress at a nice speed, but some of the parts are predictable. I do like the characters, but sometimes, I wish male leads are not dull lol. I love all the female characters, especially Kotori. All together I think people should give it a try.
that fails to accurately provide a "long summary short". I almost didn't read it thanks to you, but i read it and it was a good read....not too good .................slightly above average maybe.
Long summary short:
Main Character: Male (average)
Spirit: best describe as being (non-human but look human) from a different dimension or plane, majority of them female.
AST: Government special force that suppress Spirit with firepower until they go back their own plane
Main Character job (by chance): get the Spirit to fall in love with him
Main Character’s support: His sister and lot of adult with weird personality on ship like spacecraft
Problem: doing his job in secret without being find out or getting kill in the process.
