New Spice & Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf

Post by **Ojisama** » 29 Jun 2023, 20:08

I first reported this waaaay back in March 2022, but the new adaptation of Spice & Wolf will be debuting in 2024.

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?

The twitter account for the series is being enigmatic about whether it is a new adaptation of the original content, or something new, but an official "first" trailer is being streamed showing the first meeting between Lawrence and Holo.

The twitter feed has the trailer with English subtitles. The Youtube version is in Japanese.
