Description

Natsume's Book of Friends is a touching and emotional story about a lonely teenager with supernatural powers. Takashi Natsume can see yokai and other spirits. While some spirits are fun and friendly, most are dangerous. Despite the danger, Natsume feels drawn to the world of spirits and the work of exorcists who alternately help and threaten him, while at the same he is desperate to protect his normal friends and family from the supernatural beings that constantly loom over them unseen. Natsume's Book of Friends is beautiful and frightening, sad and hopeful, nostalgic and spooky.
