6th June is not only the birthday of Creative Director Yoko Taro, but also Butsumetsu (仏滅) which symbolizes the day Buddha died. The day is considered the most unlucky day.
SINoALICE is set in a world called Library, a place where fairy tales keep repeating themselves and the protagonists are imprisoned. These characters’ goal is to revive the authors of the stories they belong to.
