Does Natsume ever use his Book of Friends to command another youkai except Misuzu?

Ick Sasada for some reason irks me and sadly episode 11 looks to be another anime original episode like 5 was, though I do hope they manage to improve upon it better than they did with their last attempt. And why pair Natsume with Sasada when its obvious that his real pairing should’ve been Taki , only reason she probably wasn’t introduced is because they never got to those chapters T___T. Sasada was just a one shot character who leaves the school after one chapter never to be heard off again due to her family problems.

On a sidenote now that I think about it… What is it with this anime and the hats? Seriously the last character, who won’t be introduced for obvious reasons, also wears a hat similar to Natsume’s and Natori’s. It seems people who can see youkai all have similar fashion sense LOL XD. Just look at the cover for vol 5

Yet ANOTHER HAT XD

This episode just made me think how they could have made Natsume into yaoi so easily (I pray that they don’t). But whenever that happens I just think, Sasada! Hope they explore that relationship more in later episodes.

In any case, this episode also took my be surprise as to how it can invoke an emotion of discontent towards one of its characters who would react in a completely understandable way. Shuuichi simply hated the youkai for ruining his childhood and is taking out his anger by exorcising them. I don’t like Shuuichi. I like Sasada.

Sasada is love.

@Amoeba: Hand-fetish, indeed! He manhandles Takashi like an unruly housepet! GRR!

@biankita: Glad to know it wasn’t just me!

@Machi: Only 13 episodes!? Just when it was starting to get good…

@Cherubium: Those late night sake binges must be catching up with him.

@Omisyth: Makoto Shishio was the main villian in Ruroni Kenshin, another battousai of reportedly equal skill to Himura. However once he extinguished his utility as an assassin, he was quickly marked for termination by the political forces that engaged his services. They tried to burn him to death. But somehow he managed to survive the blaze with severe body-wide burns that endowed him with superhuman capabilities resulting from the grotesque displacement of his body’s homeostatic functions (I think his capacity to heat and cool stretched to extremes, since he didn’t have any skin.) If you ever watched or read Tenjou Tenge, Shishio was an ‘accidental monstrosity’ very similar to that dark-haired martial artist’s older brother who had been crippled by the Ryuugan (sp??) Umm, at any rate, I made the reference because Shishio was always dressed in bandages and he’s the first guy that popped into my mind when I saw the youaki. Sorry for the tangent ^^;

Haha Makoto Shishio!

Okay, I have no idea who that is, but that Youkai looks GAR.

I wonder if we can use Nyako-sensei as a bowling ball soon?

Nice review, Shuuichi the boy toy hunter.

Hm so this anime is just 13 eps, then I kinda doubt we’ll be seeing the other Natori chapters then, shame that it gets cut off when its finally getting to the better chapters. Heh, too bad they kinda removed the part when Natori was hounding Natsume to go shopping then feeding him it was a cute scene XD. Though I do like the Buta Neko VS. Chiri Chiri part~

Man~ Instead of some sentimental part, this episode sure is damn funny~ LOL~ especially for the “hubby” fat Nyanko-sensei who need serious diet!!

Walking to keep fit? Nah I doubt that will do anything better. LOL~

As mentioned by the blogger, I just noticed that THE GUY has “hand-fetish” LOL~ this is too much~
