| This is my favorite episode so far. I also hope that he will use the spirits once in a while. |
| Looks like we're getting some backstory for Natsume, as well as new plot developments (another boy that can sense the spirits a little bit...). Curious to see what direction this series will take. |
| After the first two episodes I hadn't made up my mind about this anime. But after this very enjoyable third episode I'm definitely into it ^^ |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Relaxing, funny at times, and deep all at once. Lovely! |
| sensei and natsume getting closer :D |
 |
| Another beautiful episode, though I liked the previous a little better. Natsume has a very desolate past. Always isolated, just because the people around him thought he was different… And when he found a person, a human, who could see the same as him, so he was not completely alone… But happiness is short-lived, and realizing the person was one of those creatures… He felt like he fell into a hole; into the same hole of solitude he’d been living all those years. It must be really painful, being always alone. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Now, we're starting with some serious stuff with Natsume's past. I know the pain of being lonely. :( Drama aside, those 2 youkais definitely made me laugh esp. the begging scene. Also, Nyanko-sensei with his sexy belly dance. xD |
| Very humorous episode! I just love neko-sensei! If Natsume eventually releases all of the spirits will the book of friends be rendered obsolete? I wonder if there's a bigger meaning behind all of this. I'll at least finish the series and see how it goes. |
 |
| Great episode, Nyanko is hilarious. I wonder how this series is going to develop next. |
| Oh it turns out the girl was a youkai too. Poor Natsume must have felt betrayed. |
| Hopefully Natsume meets the "girl youkai" again sometime :) Me likes this series xD |
| Rather nice episode. |

| This is looking like a Monster Gangster |
| best ep so far, i loved the scared bull ayakashi at the beginning. |
| "one truth preveils" never was a bigger lie told in all of manga-land... |
| I'm completely loving this show. And I can relate Natsume's loneliness... At least now he has a friend! (Human friend i mean) Amazing how every episode always has that one tear jerking moment that just gets to me, this time it was when he broke down after realizing his ladyfriend was a yokai :o So sad... |
| poor Natsume, that moment when he realized that the girl was actually a youkai.. But she didn't have any bad intention and just wanted to talk.. Sir_Lexa said: Hopefully Natsume meets the "girl youkai" again sometime :) Me likes this series xD agree with you :D |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |

| I really like this show because it's so relaxing and easygoing ^^ |
君と僕の間によこたわる空 |
| Quite lovely episode, things sure are getting good! |
 |
| This episode had a splendid mix of emotions poured into it, I was howling with laughter, moved by the heartwarming ending, and felt my eyes water up when that woman was revealed to be a youkai. This series is really shaping up to something else, I've been completely sucked in. |
 |
| I wish Madara just always stayed in his normal (wolf or whatever) form. He is such a badass like that :/ |
 |
| Cute cute! ^3^ I feel bad for Natsume, so I'm glad he found a friend. -w- |
 |
| Very nice, the youkais who asked for Natsume help were funny. |
 |

 |
| What a pleasant episode I wish I can see Youkai too, if most of them nice like those two :) |
"Signature removed"   |
| It is the journey continues, after the first companions here's another one to join the group, but unlike the first Tanuma fellow Natume, is more akin to himself. But the highlight is the teaching that he draws at the end of episode, also it originated from another story told in the episode always, very nice. |
 |
| wasn't really feeling the first two episodes but this one was golden |
| Yay! I knew I would like this show! I got a bit emotional with this one, I love the way everything is done, such a sweet story so far :) |
 |
| More Natsume development, and also the introduction of a new character! I kind of hope Tanuma becomes Natsume's friend - I liked him from what little we saw of him. |
| Felt bad for the ghost that befriended him, she was just trying to make him feel better :( Though his reaction was understandable since it meant that he still hadn't found a human like him. Well that is until now. |
|
| Love love loved this episode. I hope Natsume meets up with the spirit onee-chan one day and apologizes to her for making her sad and lonely again TT____TT I know he was just a kid at the time and felt betrayed which is understandable, but she was a nice youkai ;~; The 2 youkai pair were hilarious when one forced the other to bow with him LOLOL So cute they left Natsume offerings on his doorstep <33333 |

| Poor Natsume, he thought that woman could see ayakashi too, but she was one. Wow, Tanuma can see them too, at least their shadows. |
 |
| That was a magnificent episode really well done. |
| The fact that the lil' froggie is Misuzu's "servant" is too cute and funny to me. |
 |
| great episode, talk more about the past of the protagonist and presented a new character who sees shadows and feel the presence of youkais, to like anime |
| Loneliness is harsh. When you can interact with someone with similar interests it feels great. Nice episode. |
 |
| decent episode, got more background into Natsume's past. Lmao so the human exterminator was just a priest with strong exorcism skills, still was kinda weird that his son was acting all suspicious and sneaky like. I'm still confused on why he's deciding to return the Youkai's names to them? His grandmother obviously put a lot of time into it and i guess her goal was to amass as many names as possible to help coupe with her loneliness (i think) but whats his reason of returning their names? |
 "yabe." |
| Learning about Natsume's past is interesting, the show is getting better every episode |
| This anime is so cute and I can't believe a SOL isn't boring me. I think it won't be the last time we'll see Tanuma. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Looking back, I think this episode cemented my interest in the show. The comedy, the introspective reflection, the soundtrack, and the art are all things that I just completely fell in love with. Loneliness is something most people have dealt with at some point or another, to different degrees. This episode just turned that feeling into something beautiful and relatable. This episode helped me a lot at a time when I really needed a way to help shift from a negative mindset to something more beneficial to myself and those around me. |

| Good episode. Madara drunk was funny. |
| That drunk Madara scene was comedy goldXD Who would've expected the frog to actually be important later on in the episode? Natsume has finally made a companion who can kinda see the yokai:D Tanima probably just has a low immunity so it's definitely not the yokai making him unwell. Yeah looks like Madara's not gonna have even one yokai as his servant when the Book of Friends is passed on to him. |
 |
| Poor Natsume. That girl was also a youkai. Well, at least there's now someone else who really can see youkai. He's not alone. Drunk Nyanko-sensei brought Natsume a gift. His antics are one of the funniest things ever. Ushikao no Chuukyuu Youkai and Hitotsume no Chuukyuu Youkai are both very funny characters. |
