Takashi Natsume has always been shunned by those around him because of his mysterious ability to see
yokai. Eventually, he came into possession of his grandmother Reiko’s “Book of Friends,” and together
with his bodyguard Nyanko-sensei he set out to return the names of the yokai contained within it. Since
then, he’s found a home with the Fujiwaras and for the first time found people he can call his friends.
He’s also begun to accept the existence of yokai and his unique power, forming bonds with many of
them. But little does he know he’s about to be dragged unwittingly into further trouble…
