1 month ,5 volumes and 1250 pages later I have caught up with whatever material the anime was adapted from. That said, it's been fun to read this series all this time , and while the anime does adapt a lot of the content from the novels, it hasn't shyed away from changing or removing some parts of the story together. The 5 volumes have been a fun read, but it's worthwhile to say the least, that not all volumes are specifically trying to centre itself on some major plot point, but rather it's varied in each volume. While the first couple of volumes were very fast paced, volume 5 in particular broke that and felt like there was greater emphasis between the dialogues between Lawrence and Holo, and everything else didn't feel quite as much important. That of course, gave a much more personal touch to the overall tone of the series , but it also gave an idea of what the story is truly about....... Perhaps it's not the destination that we have to look forward to, it ...

10 years ago, I came across an anime which was the most unique show I had ever seen. The show was called spice and wolf, an anime which talked about medivial economics, strategy, politics and among others. With its fantasy twist and an unusual main cast ( Wolf God and Merchant guy), I was immediately in love with the show. I even made a post on the blog about it. http://stupidsamasblog.blogspot.in/2009/09/spice-and-wolf.html?m=1 The show spanned two seasons and OVAs , but unfortunately nothing more was made. The novel on the other hand kept going strongly until it wrapped up recently. So, finally after all these years I have decided to go back to the story and live it to the fullest. 18 full volumes! Dear Holo, I hope it's worth it :)
