The worst breakup attempt in anime history goes spectacularly wrong.
When Origami Tobiichi asks Shidou Itsuka out on a date, Shido considers this his best opportunity to set the record straight and end their relationship. However, even with the help of the Ratatoskr crew, his attempts to break up with her fail; in fact, Origami gladly tolerates Shido's humiliating requests and blunt comments! Shido's unconventional mission incidentally complicates his relationship with Tohka Yatogami, and it seems that easing the tension is only possible by going on another date.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This OVA adapts short stories from the Date A Live Encore light novel volume, explaining its standalone slice-of-life structure versus main plot stakes.
Origami's character archetype—the emotionless stalker who interprets rejection as courtship—parodies common harem tropes while somehow becoming fan-favorite material anyway.
