Supernatural anime throws spirits, curses, and gods into everyday life and treats it like just another Tuesday. *Natsume's Book of Friends* shows the quieter side of the genre, focusing on empathy with yokai instead of just exorcising them. It can be soft, lonely, or even cozy depending on the story.
