There is something about slice of life that draws people in. While it is often criticized for being a genre where “nothing happens”, it is actually a genre that people can usually relate to the most. Generally speaking, the magic of slice of life is definitely its simplicity, which can ease and refresh the viewers after having a rough day. One anime that is a staple recommendation for this type of genre is Natsume Yuujinchou.

Natsume Yuujinchou is great and amazing thanks to its creator, Yuki Midorikawa. The show is so popular that it already has six seasons under its belt with an upcoming movie that will premiere sometime in 2018. Natsume Yuujinchou draws a lot of people’s attention because of its brilliant messages and lessons about life in general. It’s indeed episodic, but the charm of this anime is its captivating setting, well-rounded characters and their intriguing interactions with one another.


If you want to watch something similar to Natsume Yuujinchou that is currently airing this season, then you’ve come to the right place! These two titles will absolutely unwind you from all the stress that you’ve been feeling lately. Make sure to relax and enjoy!










About Natsume Yuujinchou





  • Episodes: 13

  • Aired: Jul. 2008 - Sept. 2008


Ever since he can remember, Natsume Takahashi has been chased by countless yōkai of different shapes and sizes. Because of his special ability to see the supernatural, he doesn’t have a moment of peace and has been isolated from his family and friends. Everything changes, though, when Natsume accidentally frees the fearsome spirit Madara. Upon meeting the powerful spirit, Natsume learns that he owns the yuujinchou (book of friends), a powerful book which contains the names of different yōkai that his grandmother, Reiko Takahashi, managed to collect. To stop the yōkai who are constantly chasing him around, Natsume decides to return the names to their rightful owners.


Although he doesn’t like the idea of Natsume returning the names, Madara volunteers to be Natsume’s personal bodyguard. He will stick to Natsume’s side and will wait for the boy to die in order to obtain the yuujinchou.














Now there you have it! Mahoutsukai no Yome and Konohana Kitan are interesting and fun shows to watch, so better try them out. If you want something dramatic but a bit darker than Natsume Yuujinchou, then Mahoutsukai no Yome is a good choice for you. However, if you want something funnier and more light-hearted than Natsume Yuujinchou, then go for Konohana Kitan.

With that out of the way, which show did you decide to watch? If you have been watching them, then tell us what you think. Always stay tuned to Honey’s Anime! Now signing off~
