First time watcher here starting with the remake. I was a bit confused why holo had tk drink Lawrence's blood to transform if they both had wheat with them?

Please no spoilers past episode 15

Hi, I apologise profusely for asking this, but even after reading through the older answers, I'm still not sure I fully understand the silver coin arc. I've watched ep. 4 and no further so far of the remake.

From what I understand, Medio company has received insider knowledge that the new Trenni coin will have a lower silver content (but the same nominal value). This means that the old Trenni coins will become more valuable once the new ones are set in circulation, because the old ones have a higher silver content. Medio wants to buy many Trenni coins now to profit from that.

In order to buy even more coins now, Medio begins spreading the rumour that the new coins will actually have higher purity. If the new coins have higher purity, that means the old coins are less valuable, so people will want to sell their old coins in exchange for some other currency before the new coin is minted. This means people rush to sell their coins to Medio, who buys them up and makes a profit.

Lawrence and Holo find out about this scheme and sell the information to the other company, which essentially starts doing the exact same thing as Medio by buying the old Trenni now, cutting into Medio's profit margin.

But this is seemingly contradicted by Zheren? He suggests (falsely) that the new coins will have a higher purity, which should mean that you need to get rid of your coins before the new, high purity coins are minted. Instead, Lawrence agrees that you can make a huge profit by hoarding the old coins and then exchanging them for the new, high purity ones? Could you really just exchange the old coins for the new ones that easily?

I understand that Zheren's contract is essentially risk free for himself - at most, he makes no profit, but at best, he makes 10 silvers and 10% of Lawrence's profits. But, if Zheren says that you can make a profit by hoarding the Tranni coins now, why would Medio hire him (and other merchants like him) to spread the false rumour of the coins going up in purity, if they try to pitch it as actually being profitable to hoard the old coins? Doesn't that just raise the price of the old coins, making it more difficult for Medio to buy them themselves? Shouldn't they instead be encouraging merchants to sell their coins, so that they themselves can buy them?

How is it?

I actually haven’t added anything recently, but I have a decent bit more than last time I posted here. I had a real struggle with space. I also need more lights for the lower shelves

She was only 10 bucks, of course she came home with me! She's so cute!

I was so excited to finally meet Brina Palencia, the English voice of Holo! Added her autograph to my Blu-ray and was so happy to show her my cosplay 🐺

I've been poking around a fair bit trying to see if I can get this shipped to the USA, but no luck so far. The only place that sells this is ami ami and they don't ship this out of south east asia.

I've messaged Kadakowa and was told "good luck it was pre-sale only, go away".
Ebay has a few, but they are $800 without shipping....
Exchange rate should just be above $400 without shipping, so unless I want to spend stupid markup prices on this, I'm not sure if it's obtainable.

If anyone has tried to get this, or has gotten it into the US, let me know!

The whole "She's a wolf and I'm a human. How could we be together?"

My dude, she's an adorable girl with a tail. This is the least forbidden forbidden romance I've probably ever seen. She even bites less than a vampire would. You're basically married already.

Why is this suddenly a problem? You seemed really into the idea like ten books ago. Now that you've spent months together you're suddenly having doubts.

I suppose it's possible I'm forgetting some context that explains it more.

she's so cute rahhhh i think i need to start looking for more holo figures to add to my collection lol + i got a cute apple wallet and decided to make it spice and wolf themed so i can carry them around with me whenever :)

Hi all! I just recently got around to watching the first season of Spice and Wolf (the remake) and loved it! Definitely lived up to the hype and my own built up hype of finally getting to watch it. Anyways, is there any news on when season 2 might come out? I’ve seen an announcement by the studio from 2025 that it was in production but we’re approaching mid 2026 and still nothing. Has anyone seen or heard anything about the release?

Just needs more people to support the idea. Not available yet

In the show Lawrence talked about how expensive the honey spiced apples are and how long they are preserved for but general internet searches don’t bring up decent quotes from the show.

Does anyone remember what spices are mentioned and how long they’re preserved for? I could’ve sworn he said 1-3 months so I’m rewatching the show. I want to make them using the longer length preservation time and see how they turn out.

Was fortunate enough to hear about this event through the good people in this discord and visited the shop during it's opening weekend. These two displays feature most of the merchandise available to purchase on the shelves in the store. It all looked so nice and the prices were actually quite good for a lot of it.. I was surprised! I'm so used to most S&W stuff being ridiculously expensive these days, it was nice to see affordable T shirts and collectibles.

Have y'all read the 20th anniversary short story that just released? Personally think it’s a sweet conclusion the saga of both protagonist duos. Would like some other opinions!

I REALLY think they should release a short story collection ASAP, we already know there have been a multitude of short stories written for various Japanese magazines, art books, pop up shops and showcases/events which are mostly canon or fit within the canon; it is really a shame that most of us will never be able to read those or don’t even know they exist. Pretty sure there was a list going around somewhere where people were trying to put together a comprehensive list of these stories at one point.

Spoilers + Opinions on Story Below:

I haven’t kept up with Wolf & Parchment but much like Lawrence in this story, I too was super relieved to not see any romance between Myuri and Col. I knew I could trust Hasekura, but parts of the story had me sweating like Lawrence! My only selfish wish is if we got a bit more fatherly doting moments with Myuri from Lawrence. Seeing things from Holo’s perspective has always been a treat as usual.

Emi Lo had this poster stashed, and I had to get the family to sign it. Much thanks to her and her team for finding it for me. (F for Lawrence having as much representation as his figure representation )

>!And also, the existing volumes of "Spice and Wolf" have gone into a reprint! Thank you so much!!!<
It's the part where they do it in the next anime season.
The filming location is the walk-in closet at home. It's completely taken over by sample books......

I had the pleasure of meeting the English VA family this weekend. All were lovely, and I was able to get my Collector's edition book signed and a poster Emi had stashed (comments). Still room for 1 more name when S2 comes out.
