Takashi Natsume has always been cognizant of the supernatural realm, but after inheriting a magical book from his grandmother, the supernatural world has become aware of him. Possessing the unique ability to see spirits and demons that hide from the rest of humanity, Takashi has always felt set apart from others, drifting from one relative to another, never truly finding a sense of belonging.

As a troubled high school student, Takashi has come to reside in the small town where his grandmother, Reiko, grew up. There, he discovers that he has inherited more than just the remarkable Sight from Reiko. When Reiko was Takashi's age, she had bound the names of demons and spirits in her Book of Friends, effectively enslaving them to her capricious whims. Now, Takashi has become the owner of this formidable book, and the creatures will stop at nothing to reclaim their names.

Takashi's newfound connection to the supernatural world has thrust him into a delicate and often perilous situation. The spirits and demons, desperate to regain their freedom, will go to great lengths to retrieve their names from the Book of Friends. Takashi, torn between his desire to help these creatures and his own need for a peaceful existence, must navigate this complex and often treacherous landscape, all while trying to find his place in a world that has always set him apart.

As Takashi delves deeper into the mysteries of the Book of Friends and the spirits that inhabit it, he discovers that his grandmother's actions have consequences that stretch far beyond his own life. Reiko's legacy has left a lasting impact on the supernatural world, and Takashi must confront the weight of that legacy as he tries to forge his own path.

Through this journey, Takashi will not only uncover the truth about his grandmother's past, but also about himself. He will be forced to grapple with questions of identity, belonging, and the true nature of the supernatural world that has always been a part of his life. As he navigates this intricate and captivating narrative, the reader is drawn into a world of wonder, mystery, and the profound exploration of what it means to be truly seen and understood.
