“Natsume’s Book of Friends” is an Ayakashi contract story based on the manga currently being serialized in Hakusensha’s “LaLa” by Yuki Midorikawa, whose cumulative domestic circulation has exceeded 17 million copies. Takashi Natsume, a boy who has been able to see monsters since he was a child, inherits his grandmother Reiko’s legacy, the Book of Friends, and spends his days working with his self-proclaimed bodyguard, Nyanko-sensei, to give back to the monsters whose names were tied to the book.
Natsume begins to explore the path he should take through interactions with demons and the people involved, and with the help of friends who share his feelings, he tries to find a way to protect his precious days.
