[Natsume's Book of Friends] Recover, Level Up, and Fall in Love

Yu Yun's demonic power has been extraordinarily strong since birth.

But she cannot use it.

What's more, her body is extremely frail, and her lower body is almost paralyzed.

So, ever since she was little, she has relied on her link with her adoptive mother to use her mother's demonic power and move around.

Perhaps something happened, because Yu Yun personally altered her own memories.

Her adoptive mother Qing Pu's demonic power has also begun to malfunction, and the link between them is becoming unstable.

So her mother says, "Yun, let's find somewhere new to start unlocking and sorting out your own demonic power."

On the first day at her new school, Yu Yun notices a strange, handsome silver-haired boy.

He has green eyes, too, though his are lighter and clearer.

On the second day, Yu Yun meets the child from the Fujiwara family next door, and it's the same silver-haired boy.

Oh, his name is Natsume Takashi.

To keep Qing Pu's drinking in check, Yu Yun takes the initiative and befriends her mother's drinking buddies.

Then she spots a familiar silver-haired boy beside an enormously fat cat-shaped yokai.

One weekend, Yu Yun goes to a forest some distance from town to paint.

She has just set up her easel when a very familiar silver-haired boy comes stumbling out of the bushes.

A yokai is chasing him relentlessly, shouting things like, "Give it back!"

Yu Yun: ?

Natsume Takashi, why is it still you?

It's sort of a self-insert romance and sort of an original female lead. If that bothers you, please don't read.

Most of the settings and background follow the original work, and I'll also incorporate some of Green Kawasumi's other works.

I'm writing while catching up on the manga, so I'll be fixing bugs frequently.

The timeline starts in the second year of high school. Based on the original setting, Class Representative Sasada probably won't appear.

For background music, you can listen to Yoshimori Makoto's works.

The graduation ceremony illustration is still the little noodle-figure drawing A Tong made for me 🥺 I love you, bestie.

Theme: A boy is a tree at the end of spring.
