    Cowboy Bebop may have always grown stronger in the West. Likewise, matches that have won the hearts of Japanese fans may not resonate abroad. One of the supernatural anime with these characteristics is Natsume Yuujinchou (The Book of Friends), a supernatural anime with impressive, captivating visuals about a boy who can see yokai.

    Set in Kyushu and animated under the careful direction of renowned artist Takahiro Omori, Natsume Yuujinchou applies a light pacing and almost Ghibli-specific variation throughout its coverage. While the average Western fan may know the series only vaguely, there have been no less than six seasons for Natsume Yuujinchou, as well as two feature films that were widely released in Japan. Basically, Natsume Yuujinchou is a near-perfect coming-of-age story that combines careful storytelling with Japanese folklore and delicate depiction.
