Yūrei and Slice of Life



Natsume Yuujinchou = 夏目友人帳

Natsume is the surname of a high school boy who is able to see yūrei [spirit] since young. During his childhood, Natsume was loathed by classmates and most relatives because of his weird talkings like there's someone there when the others can't see it. Right now he is staying with his kind aunt and uncle. During his stay, he found a book full of weird looking writing that are the names of those yūrei. The book belongs to his late grandma who collected all the names of those yūrei during her time. Right now, evil yūrei wants to obtain this book to so called rule the world of yūrei. While some wants to have their names return back to them. In the beginning, a neko [cat] looking yūrei which actually isn't a neko after it transform to its true form, wanted to snatch the book from Natsume. However it failed and made friend with Natsume and protect him from those evil yūrei. In addition neko-sensei will inherit the book after Natsume died. This anime gave a 'warm' and touching feeling because Natsume helped those yūrei. And the jokes between the neko-sensei and Natsume, and yūrei chasing Natsume while mistaken him as Natsume's grandma was hilarous at times too.
