Synopsis for Spice and Wolf
Holo is a powerful wolf deity who is celebrated and revered in the small town of Pasloe for blessing the annual harvest. However, as the years pass and the villagers become more self-sufficient, Holo, who styles herself as the "Wise Yoitsu Wolf", has been reduced to a mere folktale. When a traveling trader named Kraft Lawrence stops by in Pasloe, Holo offers to become her business partner if he finally takes her to his northern home of Yoitsu.
The savvy merchant recognizes Holo's unusual ability to assess a person's character and agrees to her proposal. Now that he possesses both great business skills and a charismatic negotiator, Lawrence moves closer to his goal of opening his own store. However, as Lawrence travels the countryside with Holo in search of financial opportunities, he begins to realize that his aspirations are slowly taking the unexpected turn.
