Catching up with the Spice and Wolf anime.

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 's more about the journey.
With only a 3rd of the novels completed, there's much more to read to finally finish the tale of the wolf and the spice.

Relife

So, it's finally over. Relife officially ended with it's 222nd chapter. Relife was a manga I read by accident tbh. Not in the sense that I randomly picked it up, but it in the sense that the manga turned into something completely different than what I had intended it to be. With the premise set up to guiltrip people who are in the late 20's, relife did an excellent job of this throughout. Though, there were many times the story's pacing and direction was all over the place. Not to mention the science behind the Relife experiment, which when explained was honestly borderline stupid. But, what Relife great was it's characters, and the recurring theme of regrets . This all came into place especially in the last arc of the Manga where the mangaka did a stellar job giving some excellent tear jerking moments and despairing the readers of the idea of a forbidden/unachievable romance. It was romance done right in a Manga, something that I haven't seen in a long time. ...
