Yuki Midorikawa‘s Natsume’s Book of Friends (Natsume Y?jin-Ch?) manga debuted in Hakusensha‘s LaLa DX magazine in June 2003, but has run in LaLa since 2007. Viz Media is releasing the ongoing series in English.

The anime seasons and Midorikawa’s original manga revolve around Natsume, a boy who has been able to see y?kai since he was little. Unfortunately, humans shun him, and there is not much fondness between him and y?kai either. One day, he inherits a Y?jin-Ch? (“Book of Friends”) from his grandmother. The book is actually full of contracts that his grandmother made to trap y?kai. As one y?kai after another shows up, Natsume tries to release or help them — even while many of them seek vengeance on him.
