Natsume's Book of Friends

Since 2010, Yuki Midorikawa's gentle supernatural saga has been collected in English by Viz Media, following a boy who can see spirits and inherits a book of bound yokai names. The series, with translations by Lillian Olsen, builds its quiet, emotional power through episodic encounters as Natsume returns the names to free the spirits. Its 32-issue run has made it a touchstone for fans of thoughtful, folkloric manga.
