Date A Live Volume 19 - Mio True End

As Tohka said that, she then pulled the Sephira crystal closer and
pressed it against her chest.
Immediately, Mio's Sephira Crystal sank into Tohka's chest, just like
when Kurumi received Nia’s Sephira Crystal.
“Tohka, what───”
The moment Shidou was still talking.
───The world, was covered by light.

AFTERWORD

Long time no see, this is Tachibana Kōshi.

Date A Live 19 Mio True End has been sent out. What do you think?
It would be great if everyone liked it. As with volume 17 and 18, it
has been a parade of scenes I’ve wanted to write, so it has been
extraordinarily fun writing.

While writing the daily life scenes, I once again realized the
significance of the late debut characters like Miku, Natsumi, Nia, and
Mukuro. Besides being able to generate topics of conversations as
well, their involvement has made the initial debut characters shine
even more. I can’t imagine the daily routine without them.

I’ve also give thought about the daily routine Mio would have had
spent with everyone had she been an ordinary Spirit. Because the
roots are pure, she may have gotten along very well with Tohka and
Mukuro. She would be vigilant in order to not be deceived by Miku,
moreover, since she can do anything, Nia would seemingly rely on
her. Of course, the collection of Shidou’s personal information would
not be inferior to either Kotori or Origami. Let’s stop the topic here
for now, since my other crying personality is almost ready to come
out at this time writing this.

This volume has been released simultaneously with Higashide
Yuichiro-sensei’s Date A Bullet 4, so it would be even better if you’ve
read it together. Summer! Sea! War! As you roll down the volume,
you’ll find the crackling sound of P glistening even more
increasingly.

In addition, the new anime series is steadily being prepared, so stay
tuned!

Now then, once again this publication has been successfully
completed thanks to the cooperation of many parties. I would like to
express my sincerest gratitude to Tsuneko-sensei for designs, Editor-
san, and everyone involved in editing, sales, distribution, etc, and
also you for holding this book at this time.

In a sense, the story of Date A Live is also the love story of Takamiya
Mio.

But that alone is not the end. I'm glad to be around with all of you for
a little bit longer.

Well, let’s meet again in the next volume

July 2018 Tachibana Kōshi
