Default Ōkami to Kōshinryō (Wolf and Spice)

This is pretty new, but I'm already sure it's going to be fucking awesome. Long story short, it's a manga based on a series of light novels, that has started being published around 2 months ago (The manga, that is). From what I've seen its setting is medieval like, and its plot is about a traveling merchant who one night finds a 600 year old pagan wolf goddess on the back of his wagon. She ends up joining him in his travels, and using her wisdom to help his business out, only that her identity starts drawing unwanted attention.

The manga is drawn by Keito Koume, the light novels are by Isuna Hasekura.

Here are 3 color pages from the first chapter:




for chapters PM me?!

That wolf lady looks real cute and hawt.

Nice art, and the story sounds interesting enough.

A couple groups recently began to scanlate this and within the last few hours I'd just noticed it myself. I have to say it's really caught my attention. Dialogue, artwork, and character interaction is top notch. Add in the fact that Horo is incredibly cute and sexy, while Lawerence is a good man, who knows how to mind his own interests, while remaining considerate of others, I can hardly wait to see what developes between the two of them and where they'll end up going together.

Yeah I've heard about this series going to check it out. There's also going to be an anime adapation on it. BTW both the manga and the anime are based on light novels.

Light Novel Covers:





Summary:
Quote:
Based on the light novel by Isuna Hasekura.
Winner of the Silver prize of the 12th Dengeki Novel Prize
And winner of the This Light Novel is Awesome! 2007.

The story is set in a fictional middle age European type setting
Main character is a 25 year old traveling merchant Lawrence, who met Horo a 250 year old wolf, who is also a goddess of harvest that escaped the village she's supposed to watch over, because she believed the people there have forsaken her, and she also believed she has kept her promise of making sure there will be harvest there, she wants to go north, back to her homeland, and also to travel and see the world that has changed while she hasn't.
The story is about their travel and adventure together.
The anime is set for 12 episode
Quote:
An economics thriller starring a 25-year-old trader and a 600-year-old pagan wolf deity, engaged in a high risk game of Renaissance merchant lore, under constant threat of being captured and burned at the stake by the church...
Characters:

Lawrence - His goal in life is to gather enough wealth and start his own shop, he is currently a traveling merchant with a wagon, and having 7 year experience, he's smart and somewhat calculating, but a nice person.



Horo - 250 year old wolf goddess, her human form is that of a 15 year old girl, except with wolf tail and ear, she can be childish at time, yet at other time show her wisdom and age.

Looking forward to it.

So it seems that this is a monthly release manga like Claymore and has been around since 2002?

From what I know of the manga has somewhat recently started on September 27, 2007. I'm guessing the light novel is what started in 2002. So the info on mangaupdates about it being "six volumes and ongoing" is wrong they confused it with the light novel which btw the 6th volume will come out on Dec 10th.

BTW Did you download Waltz of the Wolf as well?

Yes, and I agree with the scanlators. The original manga is way more fap worthy.

So does that mean there have only been three chapters released and we'll have to wait a month for the next one?

So when is the next chapter likely to be released? This is a monthly sindication isn't it? If it was started in late September, then they may have translated all the chapters that have currently been released.

So an anime adaptation will start this summer. Which means I won't have to force feed this series to you, you'll start loving it on your own.

Also, bump for new chapter.

Posting scanlation which contains nudity is against the rules. I can move this to bath house but it would be drowned beneath a lot of other threads and wouldn't get much attention or you can just remove the images and have it here.

All that aside it looks quite interesting, although I do not trust people called Lawrence usually.
