Goodreads Synopsis:
Takashi Natsume has
always been aware of the supernatural world, but after he inherits a
magical book from his grandmother, the supernatural world is aware of
him!
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.
Natsume and his friends are visiting an old inn to see a yokai exhibition, but a sudden storm extends their visit into an overnight stay. All should be well, since the inn has a charmed door curtain that welcomes good spirits and keeps out the bad. But tonight of all nights, they forget to put it out! Can Natsume and his friends protect the inn without endangering the friendly local yokai?!

Review:
We explore a lot of other characters in this volume. We start with
Natsume on a trip with Tanuma and Taki, who discover some yokai in a
museum-like building. But after that, Nyanko-sensei stumbles upon a
little boy for a chapter. Natsume's friend Nishimura starts seeing
two Natsume's, without realizing one is a fake. It starts ominous,
but it's never quite as bad as you'd think in this series. We also
got a chapter with Reiko, how she formed a friendship and took some
names in her notebook.
This series is subtle, soft, and thoughtful. It's easy and gentle,
not too serious or dangerous, but a little ominous at times. We get
to know other characters, and more about Natsume, in each volume, and
I enjoy following him in this series. Natsume's a sweetheart. It's nice that we get to explore the side characters, and their relationship with Natsume, more as the series continues.
