| it doesn't look like anyone ^^" |
 |
| Tanuma! XD There must be a reason why they have Nyanko in a girl form. so maybe it will be Nyanko x Natsume? But it will probably be no one |
| It's probably Sasada Jun, but I hope it's Tanuma...he is clearly in love with Natsume, and Natsume is clearly gay. |
| I just think that Natsume's whole mindset towards his power could definitely be a gay metaphor. I'm not gonna write a paper on it, but I think I could going through most of his interactions with all of the characters. But since really the only things that audiences want to see regarding gays in Japan are ridiculous overblown stereotypes or yaoi, it's just better to leave him nonsexual. But that's my opinion, he's either gay or asexual, because, like mizrock says, Azumizai says, there's not even a blush from his interactions with Sasada. But his relationship with Tanuma is quite different. |
| I gonna go with Hinoe, the spirit girl that is an expert at curses. Her and Natsume have some phsical chemisty, plus shes one of my favorite characters. I hope we see more of her in season 2. |

| I wouldnt mind the glasses girl, but i think it would be amore meaningful plot point to have him fall for a youkai. Wasn't there one he grew really attached too? I think it was a firefly spirit that was in love with someone else...but i could be getting them mixed up. |

formosan said: But it's also possible that they're writing a feminine male hero because a predominantly non-hetero-male audience wants a feminine male hero. Whether the intended audience is hetero female or gay male is beyond my knowledge. Just the point i was circularly trying to reach. |

| None of them, especially Kogitsune!! (He's mine!) |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |

| nyanko sensei is the best lol |
| ^I got the same impression, that it was an imitation of his grandma. Dating her would be creepy. |

| I dont think Natsume has a interest in love stuff. This serie has no stuff like and this way I like it more. |
Zeino said: I dont think Natsume has a interest in love stuff. This serie has no stuff like and this way I like it more. totally agree; i don't want any romance in Natsume Yuujinchou, it would ruin the current perfect atmosphere <3 |
| I agree with that. I was talking purely about the romantic part. Romance would be too distracting for such a slow-paced relaxing series. I'm not saying that i don't want Natsume to become more open and connected with those around him. He certainly doesn't need to date in order to do that lol |

This serie has no stuff like and this way I like it more. totally agree; i don't want any romance in Natsume Yuujinchou, it would ruin the current perfect atmosphere <3 I can live without romance in the series, but I definitely want to see Natsume learn how to be a functioning member of some kind of community of real humans. I *don't* want Natsume to remain on the margin for the rest of his life. I don't really want him to go and live with the spirits exclusively -- although it would be cool if he became some kind of spirit-talker professionally. Natsume has a conflict with society. He's isolated from it. Some anime characters with this conflict never resolve it - at least not by my standards. (E.g. the title character of Saishuu Heiki Kanojo was, as far as I can tell, always emotionally isolated and never truly connected to her fellow humans. This is not exactly falsifiable -- some people can point to the same evidence and say, no, no, she WAS emotionally connected there.) I'd like to see that isolation resolved, one way or another. Even if Natsume never has close friends, I'd like to see him find some kind of stable social role. Takai said: I agree with that. I was talking purely about the romantic part.

| I'm glad I'm not the only one who picked Tanuma...actually I'm kind of surprised so many people did. Nice job! *Complete with stupid thumbs up and winking pose.* In all seriousness however, I agree with keeping the romance out of the series. You've got a good thing going here, don't change it up to the point it ruins it. |
| wow we have quite a lot of votes!! seems lik "hes too busy for all tht jazz" is winning! thts also wht i personally think as well :D |

| Personally, I don't think he should have romance. Yet at least. They should develope him more first, to be a bit more social. Then maybe have a very subtle thing going with someone maybe introduced early in the second season, but end it on that. People that come in late aren't worth it, since it'd kill the feel, and the current cast would also kill the feel. |
 |
| Kaname Tanuma<3 ;P No, no, I'm not thinking it would be like Lockon/Tieria >_> While it's true, Natsume doesn't seem to be interested in romance now and he has other things to do, I'd like for him to end up with Tanuma. They seem to get along well. |

Chupacabra-Food said: What? No Natori Shuuichi on this list?? But... He had ROSES in his backgrounds! And he caught Natsume in some kind of flowery meadow setting! Haha, But in all seriousness, I like this show it has a unique feel, no particularly looking for romance in it. I kind of like the idea that Natsume grows up to be some kind of single mountain hermit that finds peace with the Youkai. Sort of like Ginko from Mushi-shi, but more happy. added! and i totallt agree with you on the last bit!!!!! |

| lmao so Tanuma is the winner so far in the 'if' department? XD you guys.. XDDD |
| That's all we need. Yaoi Themes in Natsume Yujinchou. Haha, in the serious side though it seems everyone feels the romance is best left out. |
| |
| lol@yaoi fangirls ...second place lol |
|
| I don't think Natsume is a character who really needs love interest. Really. |

formosan said: It's a miracle he isn't wearing a straitjacket. People who have bad childhoods sometimes have problems connecting to *anybody* romantically. Very true. I am one living example ^___^ formosan said: I can live without romance in the series, but I definitely want to see Natsume learn how to be a functioning member of some kind of community of real humans. I *don't* want Natsume to remain on the margin for the rest of his life.

Even if Natsume never has close friends, I'd like to see him find some kind of stable social role. I also want him to be able to come out of his "shell" a little more......but at the same time, I know it's kind of unrealistic expect him to fully come out. Resolving a conflict like Natsume's can take years, and is sometimes a very painful process......the anime itself being a testament to this. I'm torn - on one hand, I want to see him fit in with other people better. On the other, watching an anime about his type of character is what attracts me to it. I don't want him to be ruined as a character for me! EDIT: I love how Tanuma is beating Jun in the romance department. It's hilarious LOL. But aside from that, I'm glad the majority of voters don't want to see him romantically involved with anyone either. |

| I don't think Natsume's connection with Tsubame was anything romantic.. I'm not going to argue since there is no clear answer to that, but i can see why someone would think that way. |
Ossochanter said: I'm amazed no one has commented on his obvious connection with Tsubame. =o I definitely wouldn't mind if there was no romance in the series at all, and Sasada is obviously a main character where Tsubame was a one-time character, but Tsubame is the only female to really develop a relationship with Natsume. They were holding hands, Natsume kept asking her to stick around, and he even cried for her when he saw the photo of her with the human who saved her. She probably isn't the main love interest, because that seems unlikely, but I would argue that there were some kind of feelings between them. At least on his part. I agree that he had some feelings for her. At the least he felt very attached to her. |
|
| Defiantly Kaname, this is just my opinion because I think the two make a cute couple. I just don't care for Jun she's just too loud and noisy for my taste. |
| What you saw at the castle on that windy night ,and what you saw at the bridge last night .. how I smiled, never utter a word to anyone. If you dare speak .. I will find where you are .. And I will kill you. Kill you. I will rip you apart .. crush your bones And eat your flesh.. I will drink your blood. I will .. devour you. |
| hahahaha i never thought tht Tanuma would be such a popular choice!! |

| Me either! I'm just glad that I lived to see the day where he tied with None of the above. It's just a matter of time until that next vote comes in! |
| as long as Sasada isn't winning, i'm happy. |

| Well... I never thought about romance in this show, but I've just read vol. 5 of the manga and |
| it looks like that new girl in the opening will be his love interest :O |
| Natsume will develop an alter ego and falls in love with himself, lol. I wrote a ridiculous thing here. Anyhow, no for Sasada. She's absolutely ... not interesting. I don't think we'll ever find some love in here and if there is, it will be platonic. That's called friendship, and as Natsume isn't really open yet, that's my guess. |
