First announced in AnimeJapan 2018, Natsume Yuujinchou the Movie: Utsusemi ni Musubu (劇場版 夏目友人帳 ～うつせみに結ぶ～) finally reveals more about the story in the latest TV commercial.
The short video shows three different Nyanko-sensei, dubbed “Triple Nyanko-sensei”. They are namely Nyanko-sensei No.1, Nyanko-sensei No.2, and Nyanko-sensei No.3.
The teaser offers no explanation for the appearance of “Triple Nyanko-sensei”, and the concrete plot remains a mystery still.
The movie is made to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Natsume Yuujinchou’s TV anime. It is an original story supervised by the series’ creator/mangaka Yuki Midorikawa (緑川ゆき) and directed by Takahiro Omori at Shuka.
In the on-going original manga serialised since 2005, the protagonist Takashi Natsume is a high school student with a special power to see1 Ayakashi (spirits). Ever since his grandma’s death, he is in possession of her Book of Friends – where she collected a long list of Ayakashi names! Later joined by an inugami called Madaras (Nyanko-sensei), Takashi spends time freeing the spirits.
