Found this amazing game in my youtube feed just now, and my first thought is someone could make S&W!

If someone has already had this idea please let me know, I would love to follow along with it!

For those wondering about the font size in the Anniversary Collector's Edition.

I don't have a ruler, so I used a standard AAA battery (yes, I am laughing at it too).

How old is Myuri? If it takes place around 10 years after they met Col, she should be around 5 years old shouldn't she? How is it acceptable for her to marry Col?

Wanted to share another picture from a photo shoot my wife and I did in our Spice and Wolf cosplays. This time from inside the tavern! Do you recognize what we’re reading? Shout out to mother in law for hand making the cosplays for us, we love the series and she really helped bring them to life for us!

I have finally got my hands on the Anniversary Collector's Edition. Now to wait for the Manga version....

I'm at the part where Hilde, Milike, Holo and Lawrence are talking in the inn. I can't belive Lawrence said, "in trade you profit because you made someone happy." to try and convince Milike that merchants should be in charge.

Does Lawrence not remember all the merchants that screwed him over in thelast 15 volumes? How they have been conniving to get as much profit for themselves as they can, regardless of the consequences to others? It just seems so inconsistent with what has actually happened.

12$ well spent Same scale as the Pop Up Parade Holo

does anyone know where i can buy spice and wolf collectors edition in sweden?

I used to adore Spice & Wolf when I was younger, and I've recently been thinking about getting back into it, but I've heard some things about the novels that gave me pause and I was hoping to find out more here. I know that Holo's long lifespan and the inevitability of Lawrence dying before her are plot points in the novels, and from what I've heard, it sounds like the story has settled on the understanding that eventually, Lawrence will die and then Holo will move on and find someone new. Is that true? I hope not—I've always found the whole "Everything fades, nothing good lasts forever" theme to be rather pessimistic and depressing—but it does seem consistent with what I remember of the story.

Hi everyone, long time member but more of a long time lurker. I wanted to share my pride and joy with people who I hope would appreciate it as much as I do. Collecting has slowed down a lot since becoming a dad, but I still try to keep up to date with the figures. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Some of it reminds me of Hiroshima dialect but I can't be sure. Does anyone know for certain?

Ordered from Amazon, where do y’all get your figures?

So just finished volume 5. Loved it! Such intrigue! I loved the anime, but it really doesn’t deliver on the sense of conspiracy that the LN does for this one.

So, at the end of 5, when he goes to Holo still being held at Delink, he says “I like you”

But in 6 he recalls it as “I love you”

Was this an oversight? It was indeed intended to be the full-blown confession of “love” right? Not the half-assed, grade-school “like”?

I initially watched the anime and I'm going back to read the light novel, I appreciate a lot of the small differences and my perception of the series has changed quite a bit. Something that immediately caught my attention was the part about Lawrence falling in love with a stewardess(I believe). In the anime we hear about Lawrence being a patron of a few Brothels but I don't believe this part was included. Is this ever addressed later on in the light novel or is it a one-off? I assume he simply moved on but it would be interesting if there was something more there.

Been going through the audiobooks up to volume 6 so far. J Michael Tatum is fantastic for this, but Brina keeps taking longer and longer sections and her reading is terrible, forced anime dub stuff. It was annoying enough when she'd take random 5 minute segments for no reason but now she has entire chapters. Does it continue like this in the rest of the books? Does it get better? Worse?

I've just finished re-reading the main story (up to vol.17) and these small moments are stiil haunting me even more that a week later, since they are left there hanging without proper explanation...

1 - What exactly was there in the letter from Hugues that Lawrence didn't want Holo to see in the end of vol.14? The first line and Holo's reaction after reading it hints pretty strongly that Lawrence probably asked Hugues about how it is possible for a non-human to run a shop, for example, hiding their eternal youth - thus, Lawrence wanted to run a shop together with Holo after the end of their journey, but he thought that both of them will separate after reaching Yoitsu, and there is nothing to change this outcome, especially after finishing that deal with Le Roy. That's why he didn't want Holo to read that letter, because he didn't want to hurt both of them any more with foolish dreams, but after the situation was reversed, and Holo finally confessed that she wants them to continue their journey together - then he finally decided to let her read the letter, which resulted in... ahem, another round of suffering for Lawrence's cheek. Am I guessing this right? Because the contents of the letter weren't mentioned anymore, and the one who brought up the topic of running a shop together later was Holo, alone.

P.S. Oh, and what exactly Holo meant by "Don't tell me you..." just before that, when she confessed her desire to continue the journey to Lawrence? This part have way too much left unsaid in their heads in that moment so I had a hard time to follow)

2 - What Holo meant by her phrase "I may have erred in saving you" to Lawrence near the end of vol.16, after the massacre of the Hugo Company? Was she angry at him for breaking the promise not to involve himself in any dangerous schemes, but he did anyway, and it resulted in him nearly dying? Or was she mad at herself for not being able to save and protect him in time? Either way, that line from her was way too cold, it sounded almost like "it would be better if you died there". I got it that Holo was deeply hurt by this whole sequence of events, watching Lawrence being wounded, but that is something that shouldn't be said, ever.

3 - Okay, I know that I am being horni and should be bonked into nothingness, but this question remains anyway) How much of Holo's body is that of a divine wolf and how much is a human? She is basically a spirit and her body is an avatar of sort, but still having some certain physical substance in it, meaning, her body functioning like a normal living being (ignoring the mass conservation defying transformations, bottomless stomach, and the ability to hide herself in a wheat, which was NEVER mentioned outside of vol.1, so may as well be a writer's forgotten idea). She and Lawrence were able to have Myuri, which means that in terms of reprodutcion her body works like a human one, but how exactly she is able to be fertile, then, being a centuries old living being? Being fertile for a woman means she have menstrual cycles, and her body depletes the volume of eggs with each ovulation, so... how? Or does her body works like a wolf's one, having estrus only once a year? Or does her body just revert itself to some "archived default state" with each transformation, which is also the source of her unchanging eternal youth (which could possibly mean that she is technically a virgin again after each transformation)? She have also said in vol.1 that is she really gets any scars, that would be a part of her forever, BTW - whatever it means.

I have had this swarm of weird questions after the scene in vol.17, where she is transforming into her wolf form and back again at their personal hot spring, while being obviously pregnant with Myuri at that very moment, so I couldn't help but think how exactly her body preserves the state of pregnancy... Or is all of this just a big "whatever" from Isuna Hasekura, and I am just a horni overly curious lad, overthinking this terribly while waiting for the two of them making Myuri a big sister already...
