Ōkami to Kōshinryō (Wolf and Spice)

[O]

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:

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.

Looking forward to it.

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

[Gutsu]

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?

[iamthebest22]

Chapter three is out! On mangatraders of course. xD

[Wesley]

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.

Yeah it looks like it's a a monthly release well at least the art looks good because of it.

[O]

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.

[Blind Itachi]

*ka-ching* sold...

[Sigbin-Puti]

this already has an anime coming out soon

[pek]

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.

i stumbled upon this while looking for latest ai kora chaper (same scanlation team)
very good so far (and feels similar to blood alone)

[Hiruma]

Blatant fanservice

fap fap fap

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