However, once he inherits a strange book that belonged to his deceased grandmother, Reiko, he discovers the reason why spirits surround him.

Now, Natsume is determined to free the spirits and dissolve the contracts.

With the help of a spirit cat, his days are filled trying to return the names to these spirits.
