Welcome to Natsume Ships Week!This is a new fan event dedicated to celebrating any and all ships that Natsume Yuujinchou/Natsume's Book of Friends has to offer.

Why Natsume Ships Week?

Natsume Yuujinchou is rich with compelling characters and dynamics just waiting to be explored. Instead of running a typical ship week, focused only on a single ship, we decided there should be an event to celebrate all of them.Thus, Natsume Ships Week was born. All ships are welcome here, from rarepairs to fan-favorites to everything in-between ♥︎We hope to encourage fellow NatsuYuu fans to create new fanworks to celebrate all of your favorite ships, participate in the community, and maybe even help someone discover another ship to love!
