Even though I'm bumping down stairs but it doesn't mean it was not amazing, I just hope for more Reiko-san all the time.

Really liked this episode. I hope to see more of Tooru, since Natsume really could use some friends his own age.

The icing on the cake was meeting Natsume's uncle and hearing stories of his meeting with the enigmatic Reiko. I hope we learn more about her as the story progresses.

Something I forgot to mention in my past reviews are the end notes. In general I don't think end notes are super useful since they're removed from context, but the ones in Natsume are particularly hard to use because the pages are so infrequently numbered. So it's an arduous task to even figure out what the note is referencing. I'm glad there are notes, but I wish they'd find a better way of handling them.
