Earlier this year, we learned that Natsume’s Book of Friends season 7 is set to premiere in Japan this fall. Now that date has been narrowed down further, and fans of the series—which adapts the Natsume Yujin-cho manga by Yuki Midorikawa—will get to dig into the new season starting on October 7, 2024.
The opening song will be Hinata Kashiwagi with “Alca” and the ending song will be Toshiki Kondo with “Komariwarai.” You can sample both in the new trailer below.

The anime—which aired from 2008 to 2017 for a total of six seasons, followed by films in 2018 and 2021—is currently available to stream on Crunchyroll, which describes the series like so:
