I have officially completed all books from main story!!!!!!! All 17 of them! I'm soo glad I picked it up randomly.?


Spice&Wolf is not you average anime trope. It is in the fantasy genre but you won't ever see ANYTHING supernatural in the story other than the beings that are Great animals taking the form of humans.?

That's it. No magic, no witch, no sacred op items.? Nothing! Instead, the story focuses more on economy.?


You heard right. The principles of economy is the main theme and is consistent throughout the whole series as Craft Lawrence explains how the world of money and trade works to the Proud Wisewolf of Yoitsu,- Holo.?


I fell in love with the characters in the first episode. Especially Holo. Loved the way she talks, moves, tease and reason. Love the way Lawrence and Holo interact.?


Holo is no damsel in distress and it shows every now and then in the story. She is quite capable of taking care of herself. But being several centuries old, she despises loneliness. As she and Lawrence journeys in search of her homeland, Yoitsu, they come across numerous adventures in economy. The slow development of romance was lovely.?


I first found it as the anime, the old one. Loved it so much I had to pick up the books. Since I watched the anime, as a bonus I got to see all expressions of Holo as she spams her slang "Tawake!" which I find waaay superior to "Baka" in general. Oh and Lawrence's VA was Lelouch so it was kinda cool.?


Main story has 17 books. Out of which 4 books contain side stories which are soo cute to read. Pardon me for using the word cute, but these really are. Specially the book which has a story from the POV of Holo and what goes through her mind was lovely.?



It definitely has a happy ending. The author started extended series called "Spring Log", and " Wolf&Parchment". I'll be reading them coz one CANNOT get enough of the realistic but cute arguments of Lawrence and Holo.?


I love when an author writes a fiction based on the subject they actually studied. Another great example would be "Moribito" series where the author studied anthropology I guess.?



Please give it a read.? ]]>
