Girly Natsume was hilarious. xD

Too bad we didn't get the playing of koto but anyway, good ep.

Next ep seems like sensei is having some tsun- moments. lol

Natsume with those female moments were epic win, poor poor male friends :P I liked the *fake* shounen-ai hints though, it was cute and nothing over the top ^^

Natsume looked really cute when Touko-san dried him off with the towel (when he came come, wet, after the fishing with Bullseye) ~~<3

I love this episode, it made me tear up when Asagi was playing for her dear, precious friend...
it's too bad there was no music... but on the other hand it leaves space for everyone's own imagination :) I absolutely loved the shot with Natsume/Asagi playing, Bullseye listening and the moon on the background <3

Nice ending, nice to see Natsume open up to Nyanko-sensei more and more, he even hugged him this episode ^^

Bullseye looks like Shishi Makoto...

quite a sweet episode, and made me realize that Natsume Yuujinchou is one of those shows best enjoyed by sitting back and letting it wash over you

Another rescue misssion. I guess the trend is pretty clear by now huh. I don't know about others but for me this show has started to become a bit depressing (in a good sense though). It's just a bit sad to see the spirits die in each episode. Also a bit repeditive.

Btw what happened with the Book of Friends? Also, too little screen time for Madora in this ep. MOAR MADORA!

Funny Asagi possession moments lol. Love the rest of the episode too.

And wow, I knew Asagi's voice sounded similar. It's Mamiko Noto, isn't it? Love her.

Natsume's friends mistaking him for a girl was hilarious.

Another nice little heart warming story. Better than the last 2. I was expecting some actual Koto playing when Asagi started playing. Sort of a shame they didn't include a track.

Pleasant and not too melancholic narrative, a love that is born in the hopelessness that makes us understand how you can keep a place or specifically to do that remains unchanged is that moment that makes us happy. Let's say hello to Asagi and Janome, who knows if you'll see them, I do not remember, it's been too many years since I last saw this episode, oh well! XD

Lovely episode, and my favourite in the series so far. It had both laughter and feels in generous amounts.

My only gripe is that we didn't get to hear what Asagi's playing really sounded like.

Omg loved the comedy this episode with Asagi taking over Natsume's body. If the series has more upbeat moments like that it'd be great. I kind of ship Natsume with Tanuma now too >:3

Man I love a lot of the yokai they introduce in this series that I'd love to see lots of them return like the young fox and now Akagane. Maybe in future seasons, but for now I'm glad Natsume is forging memories he'll never forget.

I couldn't get over Bullseye's resemblance to Shishio from Rurouni Kenshin.

Asagi possessing Natsume at school was hilarious and adorable. When the guys started blushing tho; I could hear the fujos squealing in the distance.

When Natsume's fingers and face began to fall apart in that dream; terrifying stuff.

Seeing Bullseye slice up that youkai was satisfying to watch.

Would've liked to hear the koto playing but it was still a pretty beautiful scene.

Great episode. The budget cuts were noticeable, but it was still quite enjoyable. 8.5/10

lmao they did not care for Natsume's answer, fucking took over his body while my man was sleeping. I would of actually of been hella pissed if i found out the person i said no to taking over my body, did it anyway, in my bloody sleep. Neko-sensei says Natsume has a quick temper but i mean does he reeeeeeally????
liked the ending a bit more, she got her wish but it was almost like a farewell as everyone knew there was no way of fixing her decreasing health condition. I think it would of been to good to be true if somehow she was also magically healed back to health, and goes to show you can't fix everything.

If Brelly-san left with Asagi, does that mean the rest of the residents of the forest were left without an umbrella holder and body guard until they return?

This was an amazing episode. Asagi and Akagane were so sweet, and I was very happy to see Akagane being respectful and sympathetic toward Natsume, not just caring about Asagi. I also liked how when Natsume is possessed and acted feminine like Asagi, it suddenly made his friend get bashful and made the other girls think they were being flirty. I wonder if that meant that Asagi's essence was coming through very strongly so they all thought Natsume just somehow seemed exactly like a beautiful woman to them for a few seconds, or if all Natsume needs to do is act a little more lady-like and everyone thinks he's very womanly and attractive?

This episode has me kinda confused. They keep on referring to the instrument Asagi plays as a koto, but as I understand it, aren't kotos flat-laying large instruments, otherwise referred to as Japanese Harps, and not something you hold in your hand? To me, the instrument looks like what people refer to as a biwa. Am I misunderstanding something? Does "koto" not mean what I think it means?

Man I really wanted to hear Asagi playing the koto. Also I think Asagi was suffering from leprosy.

Natsume hugging Madara was adorable. And those scenes with the classmates getting flustered over Natsume as a female were funnyXD
