Choostopher said: WOW great reveal on that, completely loved Hotarubi no Mori e and actually only heard about it and watched it from MAL recommendations..... Anymore series/OVAs/movies of this quality/nature? I would say watch Mushishi, but you've already seen it. Barakamon also has a mature story, great characters, and lots of feelings, and is also a hilarious comedy. |
| I didn't expect them to adapt this chapter. Another excellent episode featuring a romance between a human and a youkai, it reminded me of the movie "Hotarubi no Mori e" but the end is less sad. I really enjoyed it at the end when Natsume wonders if one day he will be in the same situation as Aoi. Anyway, I'll see the next one tomorrow. Good night! 5/5 |

| What a beautiful love story! Kaoru's character is phenomenal, I admire her determination and her mood. This episode was also great. |

| Wow! A romance episode of Natsume Yuujinchou that didn't have a very bittersweet or tragic ending. The relationship between Aoi and Kaoru (?) was very well done and felt natural, they both interacted with one another so no surprise that they fell in love. |
 |
| Damn. Finally another person who can see youkai! I hope she sticks around in the series. Such a wonderful person as well, so much so if she doesn't stick around it feels like a pity. |

| Very impressive episode, so cute and touching at the same time! Really loved it! Looking forward to see what's next. |
 |
| OnoD and HiroC in one anime❤ Excuse my fangirl reaction, but this is really beautiful xD Komatsu Mikako's character is a yandere for sure, but I still love her xD It's Aoi's tears She'll leave him alone, bittersweet end again I guess :( Though it's sweet.. for now |
"Signature removed"   |
| I didn't expect the series to tackle a youkai/human relationship, but in hindsight I guess it was bound to happen. I often wondered if maybe Reiko had something similar happen to her on her encounters with youkai... considering she wasn't interested in people and we only know a little about her backstory. Like others have mentioned, I got major Hotarubi no Mori e vibes. Maybe the creator wanted to give a nod to her previous work or give her fans an alternate, happier closure. |
Orange said: Felt like a shorter, Natsume version of Hotarubi no Mori e. I love it. Yes, so this. And so happy with the ending. Someone turn off the waterworks... |
| Oh I really really hope we see more of Aoi and Kaoru !! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| What Kaoru doesn't get is that it will be really painful for Aoi to watch her grow old and pass away : / |
 |
| Love is great, it doesn't matter if he is a youkai and she is a human girl. I'm sure she will die before him, but they can be happy many years. |
 |
| I love this!!! Aoi looks so cool and handsome! I'm so happy that for the first time there's couple (youkai-human) in this series. I thought they will say goodbye too.. but I know "more tears later" for Aoi T___T I want to know after what happen to them, I hope it mentioned in manga or next season (hopefully) |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Holly frick that was a fantastic episode. At this point I don't have a perfect word to describe this masterpiece. Each episode is a sweet memorie to me. I'm glad I watched it and enjoyed it to my fullest. |
| Yare yare daze! I knew Aoi's voice sounded familiar |
 |
| "There will be more tears later" - Yeah, the girl really is stupid :( Why can't she understand that there is no future for her. She won't have kids. Everyone around her will think that she has no interest in having a family or any kind of relationship. She'll grow up to be a lonely woman who sometimes speaks with an "imaginary" friend. She will die eventually, while the guy remains young forever. It's very sad and i believe it would have been better if the youkai dude rejected her in the end. It would have been very painful for her for some time, but she would eventually move on i suppose... I don't know...maybe if you love someone too much, you just don't care about anything else, but it still is sad and will be sad... |

Totally agree about it, but that what makes this episode so good and bittersweet in my opinion. Not the generic "right" decision or some "miracle" to make things happy. |
| I hope they will be happy |
| Another romance episode in a row. And this one was my least favorite episode in this whole series. I want to see more exciting, creepy, and funny episodes instead of these boring romances. |

| A youkai in love with a toxic tsundere? No, thanks. Like for real, it really seemed like the idea of Aoi watching in pain how Kaoru grows old and eventually passes away never crossed the dumb girl's mind. Terrible episode. |
| I tend to like every episode in this series. This one really made me think of Kamisama Kiss because there are crow youkai in that show, and it's romance-y, although the MC didn't have a romantic relationship with them in the end. |

Reply to derprume
Surprise surprise a yokai and human story that didn't end in a sad/tragic way. I demand an update episode if there is a season 7.
| @derprume For now. Eventually one of them is going to be sad for a loooooong time, and both of them might end up regretting it deep down. But time heals everything, so maybe this was for the better. |
| Wonderful turn of events. |
| Probably one of the saddest episodes of the series. It hurt the heart to see Aoi and Kaoru separated. |
