A brief recap of Natsume’s Book of Friends season 7 episode 5
The episode began with Natsume and his friend Kitamoto entering an old bookstore. However, it was protected by a Yokai, and Natsume could feel an odd presence in the room. Kitamaoto was oblivious to everything that was happening around him. Eventually, Madara pointed out that the person running the bookstore was, in fact, a Yokai, something that Natsume was shocked upon learning.
Natsume lent a hand in helping the bookstore guardian in sealing the monster that got away. It left behind curses on pieces of paper that were present in various books. It sucked in the energies of anyone who was in its vicinity.
Natsume’s quick thinking, Madara’s intimidation, and the Yokai’s spell neutralized the threat. The episode ended on a good note as Natsume helped the Yokai, and the bookstore remained unharmed.
What to expect in Natsume’s Book of Friends season 7 episode 5?
Since the latest episode focused on a completely unrelated event, the upcoming episode could shift its focus back to Natori. The latter had an odd lizard-like shadow creeping around. Natsume could investigate this in the upcoming episode of Natsume’s Book of Friends season 7, along with Madara. The Tanuki will certainly play an important role in understanding the cause behind this odd phenomenon.
