A new friend for Natsume?

Yet again another episode which mixes in a range of emotions...sorrow, happiness and sometimes just plain thought provoking. The feeling of being alone all the time...I suppose no one here can ever understand that fully.

Throw in some betrayal and angst into the pot and cook for overtime too...the flashback from Natsume with the lady was just such a case...it was tragic when he found out the truth and my hand was over my mouth the entire time. Imagine the pain that he must have been through in his childhood it isn't surprising to see him like this now.

This episode on another level follow some plot in the introduction of a potential new friend who is similar.

Lots of funny moments too like how Nyanko came back with a gift...very funny in an unusual way, who needs to exaggerate with forced scenes? This is comedy in it's purest form, the simple things.

And from the end of this one thing has finally begun to break through for Natsume...maybe Humans and Youkai aren't all that different from each other afterall...

I just love this series ^^

another wonderfully simple and beautiful episode. I'm liking this series more and more, besides the fact that it's so similar to Mushishi.

Spoiler for ep 3:

yeah, parallels drawn between youkai and human, and how both require relationship and comfort from same/different species. That the feeling of loneliness is the same.
