Goodreads Synopsis:
Takashi Natsume can see
the spirits and demons that hide from the rest of humanity. He has
always been set apart from other people because of his gift, drifting
from relative to relative, never fitting in. Now he's a troubled high
school student who has come to live in the small town where his
grandmother grew up. And there he discovers that he has inherited more
than just the Sight from the mysterious Reiko.
Review:
I haven’t reviewed the last few books. While I do
love this series, I don’t tend to have a lot to say about it. It’s a subtle
series, but it’s so good.
Plot lines are still very episodic, but we’re
getting a bigger overall plot with slow progression, as well as some recurring
characters. We get to see two different characters again in this volume,
including Matoba and his family. We get a background on their curse and how
they live with it. It’s an interesting contrast to Natsume, and definitely a
creepy one. There’s a chapter focusing on Reiko, and it’s a better side than we
sometimes get. It gives an interesting insight into Natsume’s family and where
he comes from.
I like that we’re getting to know more about Natsume
and the people around him, slowly. It’s nice seeing the gang of yokai that
follow him, and I love getting to see his interactions with his school friends.
Tanuma is a sweet friend, and I like when he shows up.
This is a sweet, subtle, and lovely series. I love
each volume, and am always looking forward to the next one.
