| Yeah, that’s NOT Natsume lol. I mean Nishimura should’ve taken the hint in the very first minute itself, when he saw Natsume climbing and jumping two floors as if it’s an absolutely normal activity. Plus this Natsume smiled a lot. Though I’m more concerned over the fact that he never felt the need to discuss their nighttime meetings during the broad daylight in school… with the Natsume who genuinely felt different lol. Could be that Nishimura also felt “that” a different Natsume, but still lol. Nothing good has ever come while dealing with a “doll” in any sort of media, so yeah, this all was a doll's doing itself, but hey, if you told me to roam around in an abandoned as hell mansion while carrying a broken left finger, I’d have refused. Though yeah, it’s stories like these, which, if anything, strengthen Natsume’s bond with these people, so fine I guess xD |

| Fake Natsume, huh? This reminded me of the episode when Nyanko-sensei pretented to be Natsume. It was a hilarious one. |

| Nishimura got involved in something he should not have been involved with even if it was unknowingly. Nothing happened to him tho which was a good thing tho it might reflect Natsume in a bad way. Nishimura doesn't seem like that guy tho but you never know. |
| A very bittersweet episode, the night scenes and the music were so beautiful (and I cried obviously) |

| @Estoy_Gordo You and me both. That certainly was a Yokai, in disguise. |
| That fake Natsume looks so much like Gin, I can't stop thinking about that. It's heartbreaking because both of them are longing for human touch. I'm glad the doll didn't do any harm to Nishimura. It's heartwarming to see that Natsume has such warm and kind friends by his side now. Btw I miss seeing Natsume clapping his hands and using his yuujinchou again... |
 |
| Still missing some great episodes that (almost) made me cry. (Where the previous seasons seemed to have more.) For now I enjoyed the one with Matoba the most. Seems from the preview that he is involved again in the next episode. |
| such a peculiar and mysterious episode! i just can't imagine somebody abandoning that beautiful and well-crafted doll! somebody must have adored it for a long time! maybe it became a family heirloom for long enough that it became a 100-year-old tsukumogami? |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| Always a fun experience seeing Natsume from an external and regular human eye, at this point i'd say Nishimura would still be Natsume's friend even if he knew his "strange" side, i hope he tells him and his other friend as well someday even if that world definitely is dangerous like proven in this episode, who knows what the intents of the doll was but it did look harmless towards the end atleast, also that song was so pretty and mysterious This episode overall felt and reminded me of the first episodes of Yofukashi no Uta, the magical vibe of the night, the mystery, the fact you're not supposed to be out at these times, really makes you feel something. 4 episodes left and i really don't want this season to end, this anime cures the soul like nothing else,really :( |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| Natsume episodes don't disappoint. Some may say Ishimura is dumb or has no survival skills, but it's his honesty and innocence that saved his life (if we assume he'd get killed/eaten to begin with). |
| Nishimura adventure with "Natsume" and strange doll finger!!!! kekeke |
| I swear, I never have enough of this anime. With every episode makes me so happy and nostalgic As for what happened in this chapter, I thought the false Natsume was the crown, not a doll 😆. |

| @Akito-Senpai yeah i also thought he was that crow at the beginning. |
| that was kinda creepy, but i think the doll ended up liking nishimura hence why it saved him instead of devouring him. took natsume a while to figure out that something was wrong with him though, but he was there to the rescue in the end. |
       |
| A story of a lonely doll ayakashi, feel bad as it's left all alone once again. The moment Natsume asked why tonight I knew the answer without even looking at the moon lol. It's fullmoon, it's always is. Weakest episode so far but not bad at all. |
 |
| Fantastic episode. Illicit secret young love trysts at midnight? Oooo! It's like a lovely fever dream of an episode. Hoping that someday Natsume will be able to tell his friends the truth about what he can see. |
 |
| This was more on a creepy side rather than wholesome, but I liked that we see more about Natsume's friends. It was rather cute actually, how Nishimura was so on board with keeping a secret. If he put up with that kind of weird behaviour, he'll most likely accept real Natsume's secrets as well. I just hope one day Natsume can be more open with his friends, too. |
