Notori and Natsume investigate if a retired exorcist's yokai servants are trying to kill their master to release themselves from their contract.

"Natsume meets a yokai who is trying to let go of his feelings for a human for both their sakes. But Natsume isn't sure that kind of sacrifice is necessary"--Back cover.

"Even though Natsume is getting better at dealing with yokai, he still tries to stay uninvolved. But when he runs into a yokai with his head stuck in a jar, Natsume can't leave him to suffer. But the yokai's idea of a gift of gratitude turns Natsume into a little kid with no memories of his current life!"--Back cover.

To help a kindly yokai read a ruined letter, Natsume needs the assistance of a yokai in the Book of Friends, but getting the help of a yokai his grandmother bound to the book may be difficult.

Natsume's home is attacked by a yokai who claims that Natsume stole her ring when she came to get her name back. Unless he can find the ring in time, he may find himself homeless.

"Natsume isn't looking forward to meeting with one of his old classmates, even though his new friend Tanuma is coming along for moral support. But brash Shibata has more on his mind than just reminiscing--a house on his street is being haunted by evil dolls! Can Natsume help, or will his presence just make a scary situation even worse?"--Back cover.

"A local exorcist has passed away, leaving behind a study packed with a lifetime of important yokai research. But his family are normal and don't know where he's hidden his workroom. Now all the exorcists in the area are on the hunt for the mysterious library. But Natsume can't decide what is more dangerous--letting the other exorcists find the collection or discovering it himself! "--Back cover.

"Natsume's human friend Taki can only see yokai if they walk through one of her spell circles. Although many yokai see her spells as aggressive traps, putting her at risk of their retaliation, the latest yokai to pass through her circle may have something other than revenge in his heart"--Back cover.

Natsume learns that his Grandmother Reiko was more than just a cruel conqueror of the yokai.

Natsume does his best to avoid the intrigue that abounds in the world of exorcism, but he is forced to attend an exorcist meeting when he is blackmailed by Matoba, the head of a prominent exorcist clan. When one of Natsume's special powers is revealed before Matoba, Natsume's fate may be sealed.
