Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A shoujo manga by Yuki Midorikawa and fifty-two episode anime. Also known as Natsume Yūjinchō.Natsume Takashi is one of those manga protagonists. All of his life, he has possessed the ability to see spirits. He's been tossed about from home to home for most of his life, unable to fully interact or be honest with people due to the way they tended to react to his bizarre ability. As a result he is Not Good with People at all. So yeah, kid's got angst.Natsume's ability to see spirits is a power he inherited from his grandmother, Reiko, who made a personal hobby out of gathering the names of as many spirits ("Youkai") as possible binding them to her servitude via writing their names in the titular Book Of Friends - a highly prized item that many denizens of the spirit world desire for themselves. Upon her death, Reiko bequeaths to her grandson several of her belongings - including the Book.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Upon discovering the purpose of the Book of Friends, Natsume makes it his mission to return all of the names his Grandmother took to their appropriate spirits. Yes, including the evil ones who want to kill him. He spends his time releasing the various spirits that come to him for help from their contracts and trying to stay alive in the face of the ones who'd rather just eat him and take the book for themselves.One spirit in particular, Madara (aka Nyanko-sensei), who spends most of his time in the body of a lucky cat (when he's not going One-Winged Angel on us in which case he appears to be an giant inugami), is particularly helpful when it comes to the not-letting-Natsume-get-eaten thing. He serves as Natsume's bodyguard and spiritual adviser, and his main motivation is apparently to possess the Book of Friends - which Natsume has promised to Madara, should he be killed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })There is an anime based on the manga divided in four thirteen-episode seasons, with a fifth announced for a Fall 2016 Anime season release, after a hiatus of 4 years (the fourth was released in the Winter 2012 Anime season). The sixth season followed in the Spring 2017 Anime season.An appropriate word of description for this series would probably be "heartwarming". It's been described as "Tactics, but less violent", though it definitely has its moments. The occasional outbursts of action are balanced out against gentle explorations of the supernatural, basically it's a light-on-plot, Slice of Life take on the spirit world, and a sometimes exciting, sometimes peaceful foray into the world of the supernatural. And it's packed with more Heartwarming Moments and Tear Jerkers than you can shake a stick at.Many of the chapters, especially in the first-half, were stylized to be closer to stand-alones so that anyone starting the series could have a basic understanding of the plot (though some stories are up to three chapters long).Has a Character Sheet that desperately needs more love. | |

Right Behind Me | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_170128e9 | comment |
Right Behind Me: Nyanko-sensei actually joins in on the Nyanko-sensei bashing before the other Youkai actually realize that he can hear them. One time, Natori catches Natsume and Madara laughing at his one of his sparkling commercials from behind. In the manga, Natori then mockingly teases them by using the same line from the commercial on them, much to their dismay. | |

Bishōnen | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_1c6a9289 | comment |
Bishōnen: A number of the male characters, but actor and part time exorcist Natori really plays it up, complete with the rosepetal motifs and bishie sparklies. In his own words, he can't help being fabulous. Our hero Takashi is Bishonen enough on his own, looking almost exactly like his grandmother did at his age but with short hair and, obviously, no breasts. Especially when he's returning a spirit's name, and he has a slip of paper in his mouth, and his hair is fluttering in the wind... And the long eyelashes, don't forget those. | |

Those Two Guys | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_1c79ae8c | comment |
Those Two Guys: Kitamoto and Nishimura like whoa. Although they do get way more screen time and focus than most examples; a good deal more than Taki and Tanuma, in fact, despite being unaware of Natsume's abilities. Just not much character development other than being friendly, hilarious, and Nishimura has a crush on Taki. Though they did teach Natsume how to ride a bike part way through the story. They now have their own focus chapters—chapter 51.1 (Nishimura) and chapter 51.2 (Kitamoto). These detail how they each met Natsume and became friends with him through unsuspected encounters with youkai, and a little on their home lives and families. There's also a youkai example with the cyclops and bull youkai. They get a well-above-average amount of focus as well. There's also the mean, palette swapped versions of those two youkai that hang around the mountain where the fox youkai lives. | |

A Boy and His X: Supposedly and probably initially an exploited trope, according to Natsume and Nyanko-sensei, but eventually played straight. Not that Natsume or Nyanko-sensei would admit it. | |

Androcles' Lion | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_1f518822 | comment |
Androcles' Lion: Saving youkai occasionally turns out to be unexpectedly useful later on. One extremely powerful youkai jumps to Natsume's defense, saving Natsume and Natori from an evil ayakashi trying to eat them, because Natsume helped him earlier in the episode. This is a pretty big reward considering all Natsume did was cover up a puddle in the road so that his servants could pass despite the fact they could just as easily have walked around it. It was probably a Secret Test of Character or something... It might have more to do with the East Asian concept of honor and duty. Quite a few Chinese (and I'm sure Japanese as well) folktales have people or spirits repaying small debts in grandiose manner. That, or the servants weren't smart enough to figure that out. | |

Ambiguously Human: Some youkai look very human-like to the point where occasionally Natsume and even Nyanko-sensei can't tell them apart. However, Natsume's ability to differentiate seems to be more powerful compared to some exorcists. | |

| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_27a0daff | comment |
Oddly Named Sequel: The second season prefixed Zoku (続), meaning "continued", to the title, making it Zoku Natsume Yuuijichou. Note that zoku spelled with a different kanji (族) can also mean "family" of a non-genetic nature, like True Companions. This has a lot of significance to Natsume since it's what he gained throughout the course of the series. | |

SoulPower | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_27a5e28d | comment |
Soul Power: With varying amount of it. People with enough spiritual power can see, hear, and touch youkai, and can do things like seal evil spirits, perform exorcisms, and punch youkai clear across a room; they can also hear what Nyanko-sensei is actually saying, instead of it sounding like he's just meowing. Those with just a little spiritual power can hear Nyanko-sensei, but not do any of the other things. Also, there are some cases where people with strong senses losing their power when they get old. | |

Flash Back Echo: While this series is generally a Slice of Life, there will occasionally be arcs that are a few chapters long or special overarching plot chapters that tend to pop up. Usually, the next normal Slice of Life chapter will reference at one point certain a quote from the most recent arc that, depending how he takes it, will shape Natsume's character. This pattern is more noticeable in the later half of the series. | |

Humans Are Bastards | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_3d4d3dc9 | comment |
Humans Are Bastards: a few youkai are of this opinion, and many have good reason to be, but it's not by and by the rule. The anime is far from leaning in favour of this trope alone. It also shows that humans can be pretty awesome sometimes, too and many Youkai either have a fascination with them, just don't find them all that interesting, or want to make a tasty snack out of them. | |

No Hugging, No Kissing: Yuki Midorikawa says that Natsume Yuujinchou was born out of her desire to write a supernatural story without a noticeable romantic element (something her editor pushed her to add to her previous manga). Even the occasional romance between minor one-shot characters are rather subdued and low-key. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: Well, there's Natori's exorcist "disguise" for starters... sometimes even managing to forgo the hat and still not get recognized by passerby. Not only that, but when humans want to blend in with youkai, their most drastic measure usually is to just cover their eyes with a literal paper-thin mask of some sort. Might be slightly justified in the latter case though, given the nature of youkai. | |

Gods Need Prayer Badly | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_4c782fb9 | comment |
Gods Need Prayer Badly: the second chapter of the manga has a local spirit who is greatly reduced in power because hardly anybody believes in him any more, and dies when his last sincere worshipper does. (Interestingly, Natsume can't help with this, because it needs to be worship as a god rather than mere belief that the spirit exists.) | |

Mark of the Supernatural: Humans have relatively normal appearances whereas ayakashi have a larger variety to chose from. Humans that have strong ability to see normally have an odd/rare eye or eye color. This includes: Reiko and Natsume have white hair in the manga and golden eyes in the anime. Natori and Matoba have red eyes (which classmates of the former have noted). Nanase with grey eyes. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Though this is toned up in the anime, the antagonistic Matoba clan holds the Youkai to be creatures inherently inferior to humans, believing they possess no emotion or empathy and are thus meant to be in human service. The context is upped in season 4, where the Matobas aggressively hunt a tribal clan of monkey youkai (wearing tribal masks and brandishing spears, no less) who openly wonder what they ever did to humans to deserve this treatment. In the anime, Matoba is later seen punishing one of them for the "crime" of entering a human home (this was changed from the manga where he tortures the ayakashi to get Natsume to talk about Reiko). | |

Kids Are Cruel: Many children shunned and rejected Natsume through his childhood because he openly told people that he could see ayakashi at the time. When he'd learned his lesson, the damage had already been done. Many kids laughed at him. In season 2, you learn that some children even followed him home and threw rocks at him as a sick game of make-fun-of-the-weird-kid. | |

Author Appeal/Signature Style: partially covered faces. The more human(oid) a particular youkai looks, the higher is the chance that is would have its face partially or completely covered most of the time. Benio, Hinoe, Hiiragi, Tsubame, and several others have something ( butterfly / hair / Noh mask / veil / etc. ) covering part or whole of their face. Even Natsume does this to pass off as a youkai. | |

| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_66ea7e5c | comment |
Brought Down to Normal: A minor character in one episode could once see the youkai - but at some point, his ability mysteriously vanished, leaving Natsume to wonder whether the same thing might happen to him one day. And then next season, it temporarily does. Another example is when one of Natori's colleague's, an exorcist, also mysteriously loses his ability to see youkai. This causes a lot of distress for the shiki, not only because their contracts can no longer be undone but that they could no longer directly communicate with their master, despite how much they want to. | |

When it gets agitated, however, it opens an oddly-shaped mouth with tiny but very sharp fangs, and its fur puffs out into poisonous spikes. And there's a rumor that karu eat other youkai and similar sources of spiritual power, and they travel in packs... | |

Consummate Liar | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_7aa858c1 | comment |
Consummate Liar: This trope is overall played with. Natsume grows into this when he realizes in his childhood that nobody can see or hear ayakashi, lying in order to cover any incidents caused by ayakashi and even personal problems. Natori feels that he can relate to Natsume as he went through similar ordeals, offering a place to stay "if he ever got tired of lying" (though Natori also falls back into it, time to time). In more recent chapters, Natsume has learned to talk to others about his problems though time to time, he still can't always tell the complete truth. | |

Left Hanging: Mostly related to Reiko. Who was Reiko's baby-daddy? Why is she always seen in her high school uniform in a youkai's flashbacks? Why did she never actually use the book of friends? There are hinted to be answers to these questions, but fifteen volumes into the manga, we still have not gotten them. And: Could Takashi's mother see youkai? Who or what killed Takashi's parents? It has been said that Takashi's mom cannot, though this is known by word. Maybe to a lesser extent but how and who sealed Madara in the first place? | |

Geometric Magic: Natsume can call forth youkai in the book of friends that he's seen and knows the name by drawing a magic circle, have a mirror, and giving a part of himself (blood would do). Natori has magic circle patterns he uses in exorcising. Taki has a magic circle pattern, passed down from her grandfather, that allows youkai to be seen by anyone. | |

The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: One of Nyanko-Senseis several explanations for not letting the Ayakashi get to Natsume is because Natsume promsied Nyanko-sensei the Book of Friends upon his death - he regularly calls Natsume "His Prey" - and no one else's. | |

Taking the Bullet: Sorta. In chapter 26 Natsume takes an arrow for Nyanko-sensei although it kind of doesn't live up to its merit as the next one hits and disables Nyanko-sensei for several days. And in the anime, Matoba manages to hit both of them with one arrow. | |

Foreshadowing: In episode eight of the first series, Natsume thinks on how horrible it would be to suddenly not be able to see youkai any longer - and surprises himself when he realizes how much he means it, when he's spent all his life wishing to be ordinary. This makes it all the worse in the sequel series when he actually does lose his ability. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_a435b45e | comment |
Bitter Sweet Ending: Several episodes, notably episode two, where the shrine "god"'s last worshiper dies, and he vanishes along with her, only to meet her immediately in the afterlife, and finally speak with her. Natsume even offers to take her place, but the spirit claims that won't work "because you and I are friends". In the manga, the two don't meet in the afterlife. Instead, the "god" simply disappears, though Natsume does say that he hopes the two of them saw each other again. Also, any episode dealing with a broken bond between a Human and Youkai. Because, you know, they don't all hate each other. The staggering briefness of a human's life in comparison to that of a youkai is a point of interest, scorn, and even heartbreak amongst them. | |

Adults Are Useless: Subverted. Many of the adult characters in the series, some without who don't have or even know about the ability, make positive impacts in Natsume's life. While sometimes they do require Natsume's ability for help, they also do their fair share of work. Justified for some adults in Natsume's childhood since they can't see ayakashi. | |

| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_b1efb7a7 | comment |
Mayfly–December Romance: any relationship between youkai and human is doomed to end this way, it seems, because of the human's short lifespan in comparison to a youkai's. Notably averted with Shibata (human) and Murasaki (youkai). It was Murasaki who was about to disappear. There was also a firefly youkai who died before the human she loved. Although youkai have the potential to live for centuries, death for them can be quite sudden when it does come. | |

No Social Skills: While Natsume is perfectly fine at being polite (he thought if he wasn't, people would have yet another reason to throw him out of their house), but he's terrible at actually developing friendships with other people and has problems sharing his concerns with anyone, even if he logically knows that he really should. In fact, those who are able to see or sense ayakashi have somewhat poor social skills. This includes Matoba, who seems to have No Sense of Personal Space in the anime. Natori used to have this problem but developed out of it as he got older. | |

In Love with the Mark | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_bd620d3c | comment |
In Love with the Mark: Chapters 37 and 38 deal with a starving Ayakashi that took human form so that she could eat a human, only to end up falling for him instead. | |

YouGottaHaveBlueHair | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_be7ff283 | comment |
You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Both averted (with humans, a rare anime example) and justified (with youkai). None of the human character's hair colour is improbable (Natsume's and Reiko's grey hair in the manga, though really rare, is still possible). Any odd coloured hair characters are likely from youkai (Misuru's lavender hair, Hinoe's blue hair, etc). | |

The Dark Arts | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_c4d32b92 | comment |
The Dark Arts: Chapter 62 and episode 3 of season 5 reveals, while not all of it is are necessarily evil, there are a few spells and practices that exorcists deem as illegal because of their harsh nature or unintended side effects. So far, these include: a contract between a human and youkai that uses the real name of the youkai. Instead, a new name is given until the end of the partnership. Using a youkai's real name will bind its life and fate to the contract medium, and force the bound ayakshi to any command, word for word, which includes crueler actions. Therefore, the Book of Friends would also be considered illegal since it's a collection of these contracts. However, the power required to wield it very high and so the technique is considered a myth, making its existence unknown to most humans. spells that allow relatively normal people to see youkai due to potential side effects which includes Taki's circle. a technique that sacrifices coerced, weak-willed ayakashi into a doll to create a stronger ayakashi. It is invoked by a Matoba clan exorcist but the ayakashi was uncontrollable and fled to the Hakozaki residence. the scarecrow ayakashi in chapter 80. It can be created intentionally or accidentally by powerful humans, especially if there were strong feelings when creating them. The reason is because they are human-created souls stuck in a restricted vessel. According to Shibata in the anime, the Nishi-sama spell would also count. | |

Cliffhanger: The end of season 2, episode 6. Season 3, Episode 6 leaving Natsume unconscious and at Matoba's mercy. Natsume Yuujinchou Shi episode six: The episode revolves around Nyanko sensei's efforts to get Natsume out of a magic jar. Turns out it wasn't just a joke; an ayakashi that intended on taking Natsume in the night so he could be used as an offering to a powerful spirit was the one that tossed it in, and he does eventually 'nab poor Natsume. The episode ends there. | |

Art Evolution: The most noticeable change would be Nyanko-sensei: his facial expression used to be more fixed and pronounced (the ink are thicker and resemble closer to a porcelain maneki-neko), compared to now where the line markings got narrower and some of the cheek marks are removed (resembling closer to the current anime appearance). The art for later seasons of the anime look more polished compared to the first seasons. Natsume in particular looks a bit younger in comparison to how he was drawn for the first two seasons. | |

Expy: Kaoru and Aoi draw many parallels to Dezel and Rose, including sharing the same voice actors. Like Rose, Kaoru is a female human, has the ability to see creatures that most normal humans can't, but her ability isn't at the same level as Natsume's. She ends up forming a close relationship with a non-human that eventually blossoms into love. Unlike Dezel and Rose, however, Aoi doesn't die and both get a happier ending. | |

Corner of Woe | |

Corner of Woe: Natsume does in the jar's non-existent corner when thinks about the possible aftermath if his foster parents never found out where he went. | |

I See Them, Too | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_f7fd8809 | comment |
I See Them, Too: Natsume's meeting with Natori has this result. Natsume also asks Tanuma whether he can see the youkai standing on the school field - Tanuma claims he can't - but he does see a vague shadow of their presence. | |

I Was Just Passing Through | |
| Natsume's Book of Friends (Manga) / int_fb914165 | comment |
I Was Just Passing Through: Nyanko-sensei often insists that he's serving as Natsume's bodyguard so that he can have the Book of Friends once Natsume bites it. Given that he has yet to give a clear answer as to why he doesn't just eat Natsume and take the book, it's probably just an excuse. | |
