Natsume Yuujinchou

Ongoing | Midorikawa Yuki | 2005 released

This is probably the best manga I have ever read! It's a story about a boy who has supernatural abilities (he can see what other humans can't see...Yokais) that make his ordinary life more than a bit complicated. He lives together with some distant relatives that take care of him when nobody wanted to, His only link to the past is a "book of friends" that used to belong to his grandmother Reiko (she used to have the same supernatural abilities), a notebook filled with names of yokais. With every chapter we see a different day or moment in the life of Natsume Takashi and how he learns to accept himself, his powers and the strange relationships that he builds with yokais and humans. Its practically a diary, a journay... we follow him as he grows, as he learns, as he changes. It can be dramatic, adventurous, sad and happy. Every chapter is sure to give you a different emotion, that's why I find it very special and unique. It's one of my favorites, i will probably treasure it in my heart forever. P.s Takashi has a super fat cat as a guardian (a Yokai as well of course), and that is very cute!
