Natsume is always so nice and relaxing show to watch.

The girl got happy and yet another case was solved.

"I want your tongue." That was a pretty scary scene. :o

The girl found what she was looking for she was pretty strict but it helped.
She had to stop the curse one way or another.
Natsume solving another case i can't think of much that's more relaxing to watch.

I like how the author and anime staff manage to play with a light and pleasant romantic atmosphere in the episode without any blushing and other ubiquitous romantic cliches.

@Aversa I’m even afraid to imagine what losses that old lady had while the girl was scaring away all the visitors to protect them from the youkai.

Kaeda was so beautiful, as always a very heartwarming episode (this time I almost teared up)

Fantastic episode! It's probably my favorite episode so far from this season.

I'm always fascinated by these antique bookstores in these kinds of supernatural shows, there's just something really cool and alluring about them for me.

Kitamoto having a girlfriend is really just not meant to be, what more an Ayakashi one. I really liked Kaeda though, I like to believe that the book she's residing in is the one Kitamoto is looking for. If that's the case, I hope we see her again.

That evil spirit Dei is crazy though, imagine just reading some books in a store and then next thing you know your arms, legs and innards are gone, scary to think about.

Classic Japanese horror story surrounded by the usual brand of heartwarming. So soothing.

I like Kaeda...she seems nice. Maybe a good match for Kitamoto too...although she's an ancient and immortal ayakashi only in appearance of a high school girl, or one who was simply later sealed within an ancient book much like the monster Dei was. I'm curious about what her background is, like what happened to her to be either sealed or if she was born from within her book, or what led up to her becoming the guardian of the used bookstore. When she said she'd sleep in her book again for a while after using too much of her power, I wondered how long that means in yokai-terms...For all we know, her "while" might mean decades later...which would be sad, since I really hope to see her make an appearance again, much like how Natori is a recurring guest character.

@Serafos This episode was scarier than that comedy anime called Uzumaki

this episode's kinda bittersweet. there was a hint of a possibly blossoming romance between kitamoto and the cute yokai gal, kaeda, but since they belong in different worlds, she'll most likely be his "one that got away" love.

A lovely story about Kaede, an Ayakashi who lives in a book, whose job as a guardian is to ensure another Ayakashi that curses others is sealed back in his book!

Natsume of course gets involved because his friend brings him to a bookstore, and ends up cursed along with his friend who ignores all of Kaede's "stay away and don't come back" advice because ... he likes her?? And I think she likes him back for being protective of her, but she never strayed from her role and had to go back to rest. Aww so much for the subtle love story of sorts.

Nyanko sensei has many cute moments this episode. While he was all soapy from the bath. And then at home he's brushing himself and later licking his foot. He's so cute and squishy and he talks, OMG why can't I have a cat like this??

An episode where Natsume and Kitamoto are victims of a horrid curse. Who knew that a book store can have such a thing.
