‘Natsume’s Book of Friends’ anime turns 15 in a few days. Fans have loved this show for blending the exorcist and yokai subjects with a simpler presentation. With six seasons and 74 episodes, it is one of the longest-running shoujo series. The last season came in 2017, but we still got more of it after that.
Two movies – ‘Ephemeral Bond’ and ‘The Waking Rock and the Strange Visitor’ came in 2018 and 2021 respectively. Since the manga is still ongoing, it was strange that a new anime season was not announced. The wait is over now.
On Saturday, the official website for the anime ‘Natsume’s Book of Friends’ announced that a seventh season, titled ‘Natsume Yuujinchou Shichi’ has been greenlit. It also released a video and a visual celebrating the 15th anniversary of the anime.
The video shows a few moments from all six seasons running from 2008 to 2017. After that, it displays the newly released celebratory visual and the official logo for the seventh season.

While the cast and the release date are not revealed, it is most likely that the voice artists will also make a return for the seventh season.
I am glad to see the anime made a return after so long. You do not always get a new season after so long. That is why ‘Masamune-kun’s Revenge’ coming back surprised us. The seventh season of ‘Natsume’s Book of Friends’ will be just as good because there is no change in staff yet.
