Natsume’s Book of Friends Season 7 Episode 8 Recap and Review: Heartfelt Connections
In the latest episode of Natsume’s Book of Friends Season 7, titled “Natsume on a Moonlit Night,” we see a unique perspective on Natsume’s life through the eyes of his friend, Nishimura. The episode deviates from the standard formula by focusing more on Nishimura’s encounters with a yokai disguised as Natsume, rather than on Natsume himself or Nyanko-sensei.
This season continues to explore the theme of man-made ayakashi, with the yokai of the week being a powerful doll that can mimic Natsume’s form and interact with non-spiritually gifted individuals like Nishimura. Despite the obvious differences between the yokai and Natsume, Nishimura’s trusting nature and desire to spend time with his friend lead him to overlook the discrepancies.
As the story unfolds, we see the depth of the connection that forms between Nishimura and the doll yokai, highlighting the human-like emotions and experiences of these supernatural beings. The episode culminates in a revealing conversation between Natsume and Nyanko-sensei, where the true nature of the yokai’s actions is explained, reinforcing the bond between humans and yokai.
Overall, “Natsume on a Moonlit Night” offers a refreshing perspective on Natsume’s world and the relationships he forms with both humans and yokai. The episode’s focus on trust, friendship, and understanding adds depth to the narrative and further develops the themes of empathy and connection that are central to the series.
