Natsume's Book of Friends: Volume 5

by Yuki Midorikawa, 193 pages

Someone's been going around drawing spell circles on the ground, causing trouble for the local yokai who unwittingly pass through them and become momentarily visible to unsuspecting humans. As Natsume unravels the mystery, he might make a new friend--but only if he doesn't first become lunch for a secretive monster who enjoys playing with his food. Also, Natsume confronts a mermaid and takes an active role in protecting the people closest to him by trying to replicate his grandmother's actions of the past.

Scary moments alternate with sweet ones in this volume. Even sarcastic, selfish Nyanko-sensei makes me go, "awwwww." :) More, more, more, please.
