The second I found out Natori Shuuichi's age he immediately became the funniest person in the world to me.
You have to understand. I spent the majority of my first Natsume Yuujinchou read through believing that Natori was in his thirties. That whole time I was reading Natori and Natsume's relationship as "cynical experienced mentor and his kind, optimistic mentee that is slowly softening his edges" only to then find out that Natori is fucking 23.
He's college aged! No wonder he's a fucking mess, he should be at the club! (He would hate the club).
And suddenly my third eye opened as I realized "Oh my God- they're literally the Tumblr post"
This has VASTLY improved my reading experience .
