Natsume's Book of Friends, Vol. 25, Volume 25 by Yuki Midorikawa
5.0
Nooooooo, how dare this volume end with a cliffhanger?! You can't do this to me, Midorikawa! I have to know what happens next!
That aside, this was another great volume. I loved how it started out with a side story before diving into the meat of the volume. That tiny yokai was so damn adorable, I couldn't stand it!
I found it interesting that this volume was less episodic than previous volumes. Even when there's a clear arc, it only lasts three chapters max, but this arc lasted throughout the whole volume and won't be wrapped up until the next volume *sob* But what I loved most about this volume was showing the progress Natsume's made as a character. Not only does he confide in Tanuma, but he thanks Natori and Matoba for their help as well, BUT he also entrusts the Book of Friends to Natori! I nearly cried, I was so proud of Natsume for finally trusting someone so much that he could leave his precious treasure with them. This is a slow burn series for sure, but moments like these make it so worth it!
On a side note, I loved all the different Nyanko-senseis and Nyanko-sensei himself was a treat. Matoba, despite being helpful, is still a scumbag and I am hoping and praying something (or someone) finally kills him because he is the WORST. Also, that humanoid doll at the end of the volume was SO CREEPY, how does Midorikawa keep upping the creepy factor for all the yokai?! Must be a tough task...
I'm so sad I have to wait until the next volume to see how this arc wraps up, I can only hope it'll be released this year. I really want to see how it ends!
