Anime: Wolf and Spice

Or Spice and Wolf, which evers the same anyway.

This anime starts out with Craft Lawrence, a peddler visiting a village, trading. His dream is to gather enough money to open a shop, which is a dream any peddler would want. One night, he senses some movement in his wagon. In there, he finds a naked girl with ears and tail of a beast, particularly a wolf. Her name is Horo, and she is the god of harvest in that particular village. She wishes to go back to the north, where she come from. She then travels with Lawrence, helping with his trading with her intelligence, and they slowly takes a liking to each other.

This anime starts out as a light novel, though i first saw it as an anime. After the anime ends, I started reading the novels. The reason I like this story is the interactions between Lawrence and Horo. They are so cute when they are together. The 2 are voiced by my favourite seiyuus, Fukuyama Jun and Koshimizu Ami. The other main attraction for the story is the economics. Those are interesting at times, although I have no idea what is it talking. Those who studied economics might be interested. Now 9 volumes have been published, although 7 are translated to chinese.

The second season of the anime has been scheduled for airing in July. The first season is 13 episodes, episode 7 is not aired but is a DVD episode. An OVA has just been released.

Horo might be one of the cutest characters in anime history, with her overall personality and looks. I would love to befriend a person like her. Plus, she speaks with an accent I dont know how to describe. Ancient? And she is easy to fish. She takes a liking to apples. Or any food that sounds like it will taste good will do. Just have to beware not to play around by her. That's not fun. Maybe I think that the relationship between a human male and a non-human female is a wonderful thing.
