Spice and Wolf is a Japanese light novel series by Isuna Hasekura with Jyuu Ayakura as the illustrator. ASCII Media Works published it from 2006 to 2019, and the light novel had a total of 22 volumes. A manga adaptation by Keito Koume ran from September 2007 to December 2017. Yen Press licensed the Spice and Wolf light novel series in English. The same publisher is also serializing a sequel novel titled Wolf and Parchment, which currently has 6 volumes.
The life of a traveling merchant is a lonely one, a fact with which Kraft Lawrence is well acquainted. Wandering from town to town with just his horse, cart, and whatever wares have come his way, the peddler has pretty well settled into his routine-that is, until the night Lawrence finds a wolf goddess asleep in his cart. Taking the form of a fetching girl with wolf ears and a tail, Holo has wearied of tending to harvests in the countryside and strikes up a bargain with the merchant to lend him the cunning of “Holo the Wisewolf” to increase his profits in exchange for taking her along on his travels. What kind of businessman could turn down such an offer? Lawrence soon learns, though, that having an ancient goddess as a traveling companion can be a bit of a mixed blessing. Will this wolf girl turn out to be too wild to tame?
