Spice and Wolf

Hi everyone^^ It's been some time since I last post a blog but now lets get things started. Today, I am going to introduced to you all an anime which I personally adore a lot. This anime is full of romance, suspense, wisdom and courage besides love..woot o.O Ok, so here's the cover picture:


Nice isn't it? Here's the summary of the story. It all begins with Craft Lawrence(the male main character) returning back to his country using the "country road". At the same time, the harvest season had arrive and all the villagers was busy harvesting the grains, fruits and well, you know the rest. While on his way to the village trader hut(oops..forgot to mention. Lawrence is actually an experience merchant. Sorry ya), he came across a paddy field where the villagers was just about to harvest the last bundle of wheat. According to the plot, whoever cuts the last bundle of wheat shall be possessed by Horo, the wise wolf who looked after the village harvest. Just when the last bundle was cut off, suddenly, Lawrence felt something boarded his wagon but he didn't have the time to check it as we all know, for merchants, time is gold.

After settling his affairs with the village merchants and chatted with some old friends, Lawrence decided to continue on with his journey. By nightfall, our main character decided to take a break when he noticed that something was moving in his wagon again and this time, lifting all his courage, he decided to find out what was in his wagon only to find a beautiful damsel. But the only unique part of this damsel is that she has a wolf tail and a pair of wolf ears.

This damsel is lovely right? She's the main female character
in this story.

Ok, back to the plot. As it seems, this lovely damsel is actually Horo and Horo made a contract with Lawrence stating that if Lawrence let her stay with him until they reach the north forest, Horo's homeland, Horo will help Lawrence to make absurd profit in his business. Who could possibly reject such a generous offer? I mean, you can get a lovely damsel and tonnes of gold at the same time. Really killing two birds with one stone. The story continues and Lawrence met a lot of obstacles along the way and at one stage he was almost announce bankrupt if the wise Horo didn't turn up and helped him.

That's all for the summary. The rest is for you guys to unveil. A really nice anime and no doubt I will put it in my all time top 5. Well, that's all for now. You will be hearing from me soon on some cool post.
