Synopsis of Spice and Wolf anime

In the Spice and Wolf series, we follow the story of Kraft Lawrence, a shrewd traveling merchant, and Holo, a powerful wolf deity once worshipped in the small town of Pasloe for his blessing of the annual harvest. However, with time and the growing self-sufficiency of the villagers, Holo became a mere legend.

When Lawrence stops in Pasloe, Holo offers to become his business partner in exchange for his help in returning to his northern homeland, Yoitsu. Recognizing Holo's exceptional abilities at gauging people's character, Lawrence accepts his proposal.

Armed with Lawrence's keen negotiation skills and Holo's charisma, the duo embarks on a cross-country journey in search of economic opportunities. However, as they traveled and ventured into business, Lawrence began to realize that his initial aspirations were evolving into something unexpected
