The story for Date A Live Season 5 could be based on the light novel book series by author Koushi Tachibana and illustrator Tsunako. Until an official announcement is made, fans can keep busy with the fourth season of the series, which has been challenging Shido more so than ever before. Shido has been romancing the Spirits he has met over the course of the series so far; some of them seem to have tougher outer layers that they need to break through. You can stream Date A Live's fourth season as well as the three that came before with Crunchyroll. According to Comic Book, they tease the latest season as such, "With multiple Spirits now living with him, Shido's juggling act of giving ladies attention is never-ending. On top of that, more Spirits arrive for him to put the charm on. As he seals more and more, with his intentions unknown to them, will he be able to keep this up or will it lead to one big, giant spatial quake?"
