What is “Natsume’s Book of Friends” Takashi Natsume, a boy who has been able to see youkai since he was a child, inherited his grandmother’s “Book of Friends” and spends his days returning names to the youkai whose names are bound to them, alongside his self-proclaimed bodyguard, Nyanko-sensei. Through his interactions with youkai and the people involved, Natsume begins to search for the path he should take. With the help of friends who share his feelings, he tries to find a way to protect his daily life. The original work is a manga by author Yuki Midorikawa, serialized in Hakusensha’s Monthly LaLa and its
predecessor magazine, LaLa DX, since July 2003. It has sold over 18 million copies. The first season of the TV anime aired in July 2008, and the latest seventh season, “Natsume’s Book of Friends: Urushi,” began airing in October 2024. “Natsume’s Book of Friends” anime official website: https://www.natsume-anime.jp/ What is “Weiss Schwarzbrau”?
