The show centers around Takashi Natsume, a young boy who ever since he could remember have been able to see spirits.
Because of his ability Natsume has has always been alone, avoided by other people as they found him odd or believed he was lying to get attention. His parents passed away when he was very young and he spent his childhood being passed around amongst different relatives. Now living with with distant relatives to his father Natsume is trying his best to keep is abilites hidden, but things get complicated when he inherits a book from his grandmother, Reiko, containing binding contracts with all the spirits whom she's defeated and won the names of. In order to release them from their conctract Natsume must now find the spirits and return their names to them.
I like this show, the storyline is not revolutionary but it is good and the characters are very likeable. It is the perfect series-between-series in more ways than one; each episode has it's own little storyline besides the main story and you have no trouble following it even if you don't watch it conseculatively and since nothing major ever happens it's a very easygoing show, perfect for when you need a bit of a break from all that drama that threathens to tear your heart in two.
Despite the fact that I really liked this show I will still only be giving it 4 out of 5 otakus, the main reason behind that being that it just didn't "get to me" enough to be rewarded a full score.
