The second season of Natsume Yuujinchou.
As with its prequel, Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou is about Natsume Takashi, a boy who has had the
ability to see youkai since he was young, and his bodyguard youkai, Madara, nicknamed Nyanko-sensei.
Natsume attempts to return names written in his Book of Friends, which he inherited from his
grandmother Reiko, to youkai in his village. Throughout these adventures, he meets some youkai that
are friendly, some that want to steal the Book of Friends, and some that want to kill him. Natsume
learns about himself and his relationship with youkai along the way.

I watch SoL Anime for comfort and relaxation. Seeing a bunch of happy characters being happy in a rather laid back setting, makes me happy but whenever I finish any SoL, I always feel a bit empty. A realization occurs that everything I've watched & experienced so far is just a temporary feeling that'll fade away sooner or later. That's because many of these SoLs never had a long-lasting impression on me. They may have an original concept, they may have some well written characters, they may have or do something that I might love to appreciate, but many of them didn't convey anything that touched my soul. But among those very few titles that did, [Natsume's Book of Friends](https://anilist.co/anime/4081/Natsumes-Book-of-Friends/) is one such favourite of mine. Upon my [first introduction](https://anilist.co/anime/4081/Natsumes-Book-of-Friends) to the series, I thought it was a great Iyashikei. It has all the right elements to make for a relaxing watch. A rural setting, a kind protagonist solving troubles of both humans & demons, cute mascot cat, fairly well written characters and an episodic storytelling well managed with its cozy art style, beautiful backgrounds and soothing OSTs, but that's just it. It was good and great but nothing really special. Very little consideration was given to the character development and the overreaching plot/main mystery of "Yuujinchou" moves at a snail pace. But what's really special about this to me is what the series always encapsulates. #
