Natsume's Book of Friends

953 members 7 seasons100 episodes

From an early age, Natsume has possessed the ability to see spirits, also known as yokai, an ability that complicates his life and forces him to keep a distance from his peers for their safety.
While being stalked by a yokai, Natsume unwittingly unleashes a powerful spirit encased in a Maneki-Neko, a traditional Japanese lucky cat figurine. This spirit seems to have knowledge of his grandmother, Reiko, and shows a particular interest in the legacy she passed on to her grandson: the Book of Friends. This book, which gives the power to control yokai whose names are inscribed in it, is said to be the cause of Natsume's relentless pursuit by these spiritual entities. They either want their name back, or the book as a source of power.
It is partly for these reasons that "Nyanko-sensei", the spirit Natsume has freed, will accompany and defend the young man on his mission to restore the yokai's names.
