ive read the novel version of this and i will give this a good grade. the idea "if i touch a human i will disappear" that something so simple was used for the entire story.

and for the entire time span for the main character to meet with the other main character gives its depth.

especially the season that are shown as well a very informative take of the provinces in japan.

i dont want to spoil it but its a must watch even more than a read.

This sad yet wonderful, n simple masterpiece of Natsume Yujinchou's creator, Yuki Midorikawa, is determined to touch even the heart of an ice queen. That is all I have to say. Watch it, and you'll see why.
