Synopsis

Suzunaru no Kirikabu Takashi Natsume and his cat Madara are out on a hot summer day grabbing jelly when a truck suddenly hits an old masked man right in front of them. The man turns out to be a youkai—specifically, the spirit of a Suzunaru tree that was recently struck by lightning and chopped down. As the tree slowly dies, the youkai makes one last request: Natsume has to bring him water every single day until he's gone. Mugen no Kakera Tamami, a schoolgirl, walks through a forest counting her steps while following instructions from a piece of paper. She stops to rest and dozes off, only to wake up to a talking cat. Through this cat and his human partner Natsume, she discovers that the forest contains a hidden world layered over reality—one where you can see things normally invisible. Trusting them, Tamami explains how she once helped a white owl, which then kept appearing in her dreams to guide her deeper into this strange forest.
