Synopsis

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. But this monotony screeches to a halt when, one night, he encounters a harvest goddess in the guise of a beautiful young girl…with wolf ears and a tail! 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. And when the two come across a compelling but suspicious opportunity for profit, will Lawrence with his mercantile chops and Holo with her ancient instincts be able to separate the truth from the lies — and make some coin while they’re at it?!

Biased opinions aside.(as this is my favorite manga/anime series)

I would like to say that I lent my friends this manga, and they don't read anything 18+ because of their own personal choosing.
I was still able to convince them to read the First volume as long as i stickynoted/censored all of the Mild Nudity, or anything that was in the least bit suggestive.

So i did, and after 10 minutes of "censoring" the first volume, and about 3 seconds of "censoring" the second. They decided to read it.

After reading the first novel they almost didn't want to read the second, I convinced them otherwise, and they both read more

Spice and Wolf is a very non-comum manga, and I guess that's what called my attention.

This manga tells about a merchant named Lawrence, that travels around the world selling and trading things, it's based on the european medieval economy, the exchange, and the begining of the money. And I guess I've never read a manga about economy before. So, this Lawrence find a girl with a tail and wolf ears called Horo, and she said that she is a godness, the wheat godness, but the people don't need her anymore, and shes far away from home, so Lawrence decided to help her to read more

Hard not to compare these two. In both super-intelligent heroines outsmart their respective male companions as they travel. Along the way, lessons on economics are given - in S&W through trading chatter and in Maoyuu through Demon Queen actually teaching Hero how war can be beneficial, as well as sharing with other lowly humans the wonders of potatoes.

The chemistry shared between Horo and Lawrence in S&W is mostly absent in Maoyuu; jokes instead being made about Demon Queen's large (and much-too-exposed) breasts; oft described as "useless meat". Hero intentionally being a clone of white knight JRPG leads doesn't help matters. It's still amusing to watch the two interact... just not with the same wordplay goodness in S&W.
Both have bold main charcters, that are women, that are ready for adventure and a change in their lives. The storylines surround the friendships of the main characters and their development, and intertwine with legends or folktales. Also, apples are a common theme.
