Spice and Wolf II

Spice and Wolf (狼と香辛料, Ōkami to Kōshinryō?, lit. Wolf and Spice) is a Japanese light novel series written by Isuna Hasekura, with illustrations by Jū Ayakura. The first novel was released on February 10, 2006, and as of September 10, 2008, nine volumes have been published by ASCII Media Works under their Dengeki Bunko label. ASCII Media Works reported that as of May 2008, over 1.2 million copies of the first seven novels have been sold in Japan. The series has been called a "unique fantasy" by Mainichi Shimbun due to the plot focusing on economics, trade, and peddling rather than the typical staples of fantasy such as swords and magic. Yen Press licensed the light novels and will be releasing them in English in North America.

A manga adaptation illustrated by Keito Kōme began serialization in the Japanese seinen magazine Dengeki Maoh on September 27, 2007, published by ASCII Media Works. The obi strip on the fifth novel announced the anime adaptation which aired between January 9 and March 26, 2008, containing twelve aired episodes, plus a single original video animation episode. The anime will be released in English by Kadokawa USA. A second season of the anime series titled Spice and Wolf II has been confirmed for production. A visual novel based on the series for the Nintendo DS was released on June 26, 2008 by ASCII Media Works.
