Spice and Wolf synopsis:
The life of a traveling merchant is a lonely one, a fact with which Kraft Lawrence is all too familiar. Traveling from town to town with just his horse, carriage, and whatever goods he has acquired, the salesman has become accustomed to his routine—until the night Lawrence finds a wolf goddess sleeping in his carriage. Taking the form of a charming girl with wolf ears and tail, Holo has grown tired of tending the crops in the field and makes a deal with the merchant to lend her the cunning of “Holo the Wise Wolf” to increase his profits in return. to take it on your travels. What kind of businessman could refuse an offer like that? Lawrence soon discovers, however, that having an ancient goddess as a traveling companion can be quite challenging. Will this wolf girl be too wild to be tamed?
