Natsume’s Book of Friends is a Japanese manga series by Yuki Midorikawa. It was serialized by Hakusensha’s LaLa DX from June 2003 to April 2008 before moving to LaLa in 2007. It has released 30 volumes as of September 2023. Viz Media licensed the manga in English, and they describe the story:
Takashi Natsume can see the spirits and demons that hide from the rest of humanity. He has always been set apart from other people because of his gift, drifting from relative to relative, never fitting in. Now he’s a troubled high school student who has come to live in the small town where his grandmother grew up. And there he discovers that he has inherited more than just the Sight from the mysterious Reiko.
Yuki Midorikawa is also known for her other manga works which include Into the Forest of Fireflies (Hotarubi no Mori e), The Scarlet Chair (Hiiro no Isu) and The Voice That Blooms Red (Akaku Saku Koe).
The anime adaptation has had six anime seasons so far, with the last one airing back in 2017. Directors for the anime include Takahiro Omori (from season 1 to season 4) and Kotomi Deai (season 5 to season 6). Studios Brain’s Base (season 1 to season 4) and Shuka (season 5 to season 6) have worked on the animation. Crunchyroll is streaming the entire anime.
