Natsume’s Book of Friends Season 7 Episode 4 recap
Natsume’s Book Of Friends Season 7 Episode 4, titled ‘Depths of the Page,’ begins as Natsume and his friend Kitamoto visit an old bookstore Kitamoto recalls from childhood. Kitamoto wishes to surprise his father with a book from the store.
However, Natsume senses a yokai presence and suggests they leave. Later, he and Nyanko-sensei follow Kitamoto, who is turned away by Kaeda, a yokai inhabiting the shop and guarding it for the sleeping elderly owner.
Kaeda reveals that a dangerous yokai named Dei has escaped its seal, leaving cursed spells hidden within books. Natsume himself suffers a mild tongue curse in Natsume’s Book Of Friends Season 7 Episode 4, while Kitamoto’s wrist and shoulder are affected, sapping his energy.
With Kaeda’s guidance, Natsume ultimately captures Dei, allowing Kaeda to seal him back, though the power surge exhausts Natsume. The next day, Kaeda shares her plan to return to her book to recover, and Natsume subtly bids farewell as she departs, appreciating her quiet kindness.
