Blissful days continue for the ex-merchant and the wolf as they pass the days together in their mountain home. Ever since Col and Myuri set off on a journey of their own, the bathhouse has been a little shorthanded so a new hire was brought on. But this newcomer is a wolf, just like Holo and the problems with her joining the staff seem endless...

In return for their help saving Saronia from being swallowed in debt, Holo and Lawrence receive noble titles, but while Lawrence is delighted, Holo and Elsa are wary of the generous gift because it seems the title comes with a shady plot of land tied to the legend of a giant serpent.

After a short lively summer packed with work and guests, the bathhouse Spice and Wolf greets the momentary calm that is autumn.

After a short stroll one day, the two head back to the bathhouse with a basketful of treats, only to find a crowd of people at the entrance. Though they weren't expecting anyone, Holo's nose picks up the scent of animals coming from the visitors...Soon, the reason for these sudden out-of-season guests to Spice and Wolf becomes clear!

In hopes of further spreading the vernacular translation of the scriptures, they begin looking into the art of printing, which has been banned by the church. Their search for a skilled craftsman soon leads them to a certain fugitive who agrees to help only if they can offer a tale that will make hearts tremble in exchange!

Continuing their journey north, Lawrence and Holo stop in the village of Tereo in hopes of finding a local abbey where they might uncover more information regarding the fate of Holo's ancient home, Yoitsu. Soon after their arrival, though, the companions are caught up in a local dispute between Tereo and the neighboring town of Enberch that could cost Lawrence and Holo both their fortunes and their lives! With the Wisewolf's help, can Lawrence devise a way to save an entire town from ruin - and his skin and that of his traveling companion in the process?

Following his good fortune in Pazzio, Lawrence is confident that he is on the path to realizing his dream of becoming a town merchant. One ill-informed business decision, though, leaves him teetering on the brink of bankruptcy and ruin!

With all of the merchant's plans hinging on one beautiful young shepherdess - for whose vocation Holo holds no affection - Lawrence's prospects, both personal and professional, are looking grim!

Encountering a storm on their return from the pirate islands, Col and Myuri are forced to dock at Desarev, one of Winfiel Kingdom's major ports. Though a lively enough town, priests are in short supply thanks to an imminent war with the Church, hence Col's sudden designation as "The Twilight Cardinal," savior of the people! And as if a city's worth of religious problems isn't enough to deal with, suddenly Myuri is demanding to be Col's bride?! Meanwhile, a wool merchant named Ilenia approaches the "couple," confiding that she's the embodiment of a sheep, before asking for their aid with some secret agenda she has cooked up...Though unsure just what to make of this sheep in merchant's clothing, Col and Myuri can't ignore her once she mentions the Moon-Hunting Bear.

Overcome with worry over his runaway daughter, Myuri, Lawrence has set off on a journey with his wife Holo for the first time in over a decade!

But when the deal goes sour and Holo is abducted, will Lawrence's dreams of earning enough to become a proper town merchant fade? Or can this meek merchant devise a new strategy to rescue both his profits and the girl before Holo is delivered to the hands of the Church?

With the bathhouse in Selim's care, ex-traveling merchant Lawrence and Holo the Wisewolf set off on a journey again. Along the way, at a place called the Vallan Bishopric, where they were going to exchange coins, there is a familiar face was waiting there to reunite with them-Elsa.

Although Myuri is thrilled to finally hold a title she's long obsessed over, she realizes that her position as a knight is making it harder for her to fawn over Col.

Meanwhile, Col gets asked to discover a new continent to resolve the conflict between the Kingdom and the Church?!

With his carthorse as his only companion, the young merchant Kraft Lawrence slowly wends his way through dusty back roads in search of profitable trade.

Longing for the northern lands of her birth, Holo the Wisewolf joins Lawrence as he follows the ebb and flow of trade through the countryside.

This manga adaptation of Isuna Hasekura's acclaimed Spice and Wolf novel series, also available from Yen Press, is an investment that promises the greatest of entertainment returns!

The adventures of a traveling merchant and his wolf goddess companion continue in this New York Times bestselling series!

Isuna Hasekura's debut novel, SPICE AND WOLF, earned the Silver Prize in the 2005 Dengeki Novel Prize with the series going on to total seventeen novels and both manga and anime adaptations.

The aspiring priest Col and Myuri, daughter of the wisewolf Holo and the merchant Lawrence, are finally settled into Atiph City with the help of Heir Hyland. Setting the noble from Winfiel Kingdom’s ambitious plan into motion, Col and a group of local scribes devote themselves to transcribing the scriptures into the vernacular. But spreading the words of God strays from the path of righteousness as Our Book of God becomes a catalyst of unruly contempt towards the Church. Is this revolt too a part of Heir Hyland’s vision? While Col clings to his naïve faith in humanity’s goodness, he needs Myuri’s wisdom more than ever.

After defusing another flashpoint in the ongoing fracas between the Winfiel Kingdom and the Church, Col and Myuri are more than ready to take a breather. Of course, the world has other plans for the infmaous Twilight Cardinal. As the two of them leisurely make their way to a certain monastery, they stumble upon a fallen squire who is up in arms the moment he finds out who they are. With the world's strongest holy order of knights on the brink of dissolution and Col apparently to blame, there's no time to waste!

When Col leaves the cozy mountain village of Nyohhira aspiring to become afull-fledged member of the clergy, a certain impetuous wolf can't help stowingaway aboard his ship to follow him for a chance to have a grand adventure of herown!

After resolving a major source of tension in the Winfiel Kingdom, Col and Myuri have certainly earned their rest. Their respite doesn't last for very long though because a messenger has come looking for the Twilight Cardinal with news about a conference eighty years in the making. Their destination will be the city of learning and books where there seems to be an uproar surrounding...another wolf girl?!
