Synopsis

A young traveling merchant, Kraft Lawrence, has become accustomed to days of roaming and trading with few companions. Or so it was until one peculiar day when the trader finds a young, naked, wolf-like girl asleep in his wagon.

The beautiful girl, calling herself Holo, claims to be a local wolf deity worshipped by locals as the God of Good Harvest. Year after year, she ensured they would reap a good harvest, but she has since grown tired of fulfilling the wishes of the ungrateful locals.

Holo ends up striking a deal with Lawrence: if he helps her escape the villagers, she will gladly help him in his merchant endeavors. Together, they roam from town to town in search of business, and Lawrence realizes both the ups and downs of traveling with a haughty and shrewd wolf goddess.

Preliminary (21/? eps)
Spice & Wolf is an anomalously good series featuring a vast and intricate fantasy world, dynamic, high stakes drama, and two extraordinarily charming lead characters.

I say anomalously good because it’s impossible to describe Spice & Wolf without its niche emphasis on the economics of a fictional, medieval European-esque fantasy world. While this may sound mundane, one point where the series becomes captivating is how intricate this economic system is and how consistently and seamlessly the author can capture the risks of being a traveling merchant and then craft (pun intended) a make-or-break or even life-or-death scenario from them. This world has various fictional currencies valued ...

I have read 15 volumes of this wonder, it is a fascinating story and its narrative is so descriptive and immersive that it is exciting, sometimes I get lost in economics topics but if I read it again I understand it since it is not that complex either, you just have to read calmly.

Holo is an incredible character and is the driving force of everything, religious themes are the daily bread and although I would have liked a little more research into the lore of other mystical beings like Holo, the story is not boring at all.

100% recommended, lean SPICE AND WOLF.

es una obra magnifica, su mundo es muy nutrido en lore y muy diferente al mundo de fantasia generico, recomiendo leer esta obra maestra, holo es el mejor personaje femenino que haya visto y esta tan bien escrito que da hasta pena compararla con otras con lo bien hecha que esta.

su mundo tiene un lore increible basado en deidades paganas y de como la religion ortodoxa de toda a vida intenta ocultarla, las casas comerciales son el segundo renglon con mas poder despues de la iglesia y nos cuenta como esas deidades paganas se oculltan y viven entre los humanos.

recomiendo que la ...
