Yuki Midorikawa writes manga best known for Natsume's Book of Friends, a supernatural series about a boy who can see yōkai. Takashi Natsume inherits a book containing the names of spirits bound by his grandmother Reiko and decides to return those names, bringing him into repeated contact with creatures that may be frightening, lonely, comic or dangerous. His companion Nyanko-sensei provides both protection and mischief, while the human friendships around Natsume gradually become as important as the supernatural encounters. Midorikawa's storytelling is gentle and episodic, with melancholy and humour often sharing the same chapter. The series fits supernatural manga, yōkai stories, found-family fiction and quiet fantasy.
