Yeah, that what I meant when I said that the DAB cover is lacking something compared to the usual Tsunako designs .

Liking the covers especially the Volume 16 one. I'm almost 100% sure it's going to be a 2 part arc with Kurumi being sealed by the end of it.

Like others have already mentioned the white haired girl on the cover for "Date a Bullet" resembles Kurumi. Curious to what's her connection with Kurumi and if she will have any relevance in the main story.

And of course it's conveniently blocked in the larger version shown on the website. Those teases. -_-

Wow! I didn't even notice the skirt lift. Nice observation skills you got there

Unfortunately this not be true; I only have a 2nd-hand picture of the Kurumi beach towel (the one she shares with Kotori), and there was one other towel/pillow/blanket image of Kurumi from way back when that I don't have.

Empty may appear in the LN when Kurumi goes inverse.

No, Doctor Who isn't that well known in Japan. Like, it's subbed there, but it's not got the kind of publicity in Japan that it does here in the UK, or, to a lesser extent, in the US

Given that V13 was late December, and V14-15 was early January, I want to say that V16 is probably around Valentine's Day, which'd explain why Tohka, Kotori and Kurumi are cooking, what appears, to be chocolate. God only knows what Origami is doing.

Depending on who or what Empty is, and if she survives DAB, then yeah. There is definitely a reason why DAB is being released to coincide with V16/before V17, I feel.

Because she is in a computer, and the things above the angel makes me remember a 3d printer, I would bet a life-sized white chocolate rendition of her angel self

[Eclar]

Oh God, I can already see Shido trying to avoid some of the girls (especially Origami).

Btw, can Kotori cook? I don't remember her trying to cook something for Shido.

[AP24]

I think they are making chocolates, notice the word 'chocolate' is on Tohka's apron. It's very likely for Valentine's Day since it should be February in Vol 16's story.

If we're going to assume that the story will only cover one year since the start of school year then the end is really near.

Just saw this trailer

If DAL somehow ended up here my bet for Shidou's reaction is "I don't belong in this action genre! Help!!!"

Yeah, I said all that a few posts above yours.

You bring up a good point though, although, really, given the nature of the story, there was never going to be a great deal of story left after the ten spirits were sealed anyway. We really are on the home stretch now.

I wonder what happed to her eye

I'm not sure if this is the real Kurumi in this picture, or one of her clones. While I have seen Kurumi smile before, this smile seems too relaxed for her, like in that "What If" picture where she was with Origami and Tohka eating ice cream. If she happens to be a clone, then that would be interesting since it makes me wonder why there's a clone with the group right now.

Cover alternative in low quality of Date A Live vol. 16

[Shinji103]

They're making up for the deathly lack of Kurumi illustrations in the past bunch of volumes.

*puts your head on a pillow* If they're making up for illustrations, then I hope this volume also finally removes most of the enigmas about Kurumi that makes her such a wild card. So out of curiosity, what questions does everyone have about her they hope this volume may finally answer? I've got 3 in particular.

1. What would happen if Shido kissed a Kurumi clone instead of the real one? (Unfortunately, this one will likely not be answered unless that one clone returns )

2. Will Kurumi's plan to travel to the past actually happen regardless of results, and how will she get the power to make the jump without killing Shido?

3. Just what happened in Kurumi's past that made her who she is today, and have we seen her original self through some of her clones?

Man... March 18th can't get here fast enough, and this is only what could be shown in Volume 16. I don't even know what to expect from Date A Bullet, except that there's a reason these "Semi-Spirits" mentioned in it's summary have never been mentioned before.
