Synopsis:

Takashi Natsume carries a quiet burden: the ability to perceive the unseen world of youkai. Once a source of isolation and fear, this gift has evolved into a responsibility tied to his grandmother’s legacy – the Book of Friends. As a high school student, Natsume navigates the delicate balance between human life and the spirit realm, aided by his enigmatic guardian, Madara, affectionately known as Nyanko-sensei. The series explores themes of belonging, memory, and the complexities of interspecies relationships within a subtly melancholic atmosphere. Each encounter with powerful youkai reveals more about Natsume's past and challenges him to understand his role as a bridge between two worlds, prompting reflection on the nature of connection and acceptance.
