Natsume's Book of Friends/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In episode 5 of season two, you learn that a friend of Natsume's friend had a grandfather named Shin'Ichiro that believed in Youkai and wanted to see them, as well as that there were Youkai that would often come to visit him and watch him learn about them as a way to entertain themselves. At the end of the episode, not only do these Youkai help save Natsume from an evil ayakashi, but you also see that when Shin'Ichiro was on his deathbed, they gathered around him and performed a healing spell in the hopes of making him feel better.
  • In season two of the anime, you find out that there was one young human boy that did not fear Reiko. When he sees two other boys making fun of her, she has to stop him from going after them with a baseball bat. Reiko even exorcises a malicious Youkai from the boy's home because she cares about him so much. Many years later, this man adopts Natsume, becomimg the first to fully accept the Youkai-seer into his home. This home is the very same one Reiko protected years before, and Natsume eventually does the same, finishing the job this time.
