| Hello to all like-minded, Horo-addicted people. :] This thread was created to give you a place for discussing the Manga- and Novel-Version of "Spice and Wolf". The translated chapters of the Manga can be found here: http://moob-manga.com/ Regarding the novels: Translation is still going on as we speak (...or write). Some chapters of Volume 1 and 3 are already done. If you want to continue the story where the anime stopped, start with volume 3! Here is the link: http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=Spice#Volume_3 But be aware that it could be the story of a possible second season. So if you want to keep the tenseness, it is probably better to wait. ;) |

| I haven't stopped by the "clubhouse" in awhile, didn't realize you had thrown this up. Thanks a bunch though, I'm debating on whether or not I should just jump into the 3rd Novel, or wait a bit. |
| Well, personally I didnt regred it at all. I eagerly await more translations of chapter 3! It is so nice to know that Horo *beep* and Lawrence try to *beep* and have *beeeep* on the way. ^^ |

| Little Update: Another small part was translated at Volume 3, Chapter 4! ^^ Although its very likely only me reading the novel-translations I still wanted to let you know. :P |
|
| I'm waiting for them to get volume 1 translated, I can't bring myself to read them out of order. |
| Hi! Just watched spice and wolf.. And it suddenly became one of my favorite animes, and Horo being my #1 fav character. I was wondering if volume 1 was already translated.. I want to read it ^^ Okay, thanks for the link.. Anyways, do you think it's convenient to print all chapters and illustrations then hardbound them? Is the link above complete when it comes to the illustrations? |

Is the link above complete when it comes to the illustrations? Welcome! Nice to have you here ^^ Well, Im not sure if every original illustration is in the novel translation. But on the other hand the translators seem to take their work very serious! Its best if you ask them personally. I gave you the link to their forum-discussion by PM! |
|
| Thanks FTGT! Is there any news about a season 2 yet? |
| Nothing yet! ;( But I heard the rumor that "Spice and Wolf" is a huge success in Tokyo so far. So a second season should be on the way *keeping fingers crossed*. |
|
| Well yeah. It's by far one of the best I've ever seen. I really hope for a season 2. Coz I'm already getting tempted to read Volume 3 of the Light Novel O.o |
| I'm tempted to buy volume 4-8 from amazon, and work on translating some of it throughout the school year since I love this story. How far into the novel is the manga at this point? |
 |
kizen said: How far into the novel is the manga at this point? Unfortunately the Manga-Translation Website for "Spice and Wolf" seems to be inactive for a while. So I have no idea how far they are right now. From what I have seen so far, I would say the manga follows the anime pretty much. But some scenes and phrases are different. Maybe they use more from the novel than in the anime version. |
|
| Short Update: Novel volume 3 is translated completely. Translation on chapter 1 of volume 4 has just been started! http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=Spice#Volume_4 *leaves the thread, prints out the pages and starts reading* |
|
| Translation on chapter 1 of Volume 4 has been completed! I guess with the second season the producers want to cover 2 Volumes of the novel again (Volume 3 and 4). So if you want to know what is going to happen and afterwards enjoy the story to come alive, START READING!! .... and discuss your expectations here! I have to say, from my point of view, the story of Volume 3 alone is enough for 13 episodes. So either they plan this to be a 26 episode season or only Volume 3 will be covered. Hopefully the story will not be "crunched together" in order to be shown in fewer episodes. |

| do you think it will be published in America? I might buy it |
 |
| The novels are already licensed by "Yen Press": http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-09-28/yen-adds-hero-tales-wakaba-soh-spice-and-wolf-novels Its just a matter of time. Meanwhile you can enjoy the really great fan-translations at "Baka-Tsuki". :] |
|
| well.... I'm gonna buy the novels.... also shakugan no Shana |
| |
| S&W will be my first Light Novel series since Sekai no Monshou. Just waiting on volume 1 now. |
 |
| Little Update: currently the following volumes and chapters of the light novels are translated: Volume 1: Chapter 1, 2 and 3 completed. Chapter 4 and 5 in progress. Volume 2: Chapter 1 in progress. Volume 3: Completed Volume 4: Chapter 1 and 2 completed. Chapter 3 in progress. So, if you need Horo, grab her here: http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=Spice |
|
| Well, hi am new. Seen this a few days ago and could not resist jumping on the novels. I tried, but I could simply not. Knowing that B-K have this project, just to much of temptation. Nor was I left disappointed. |
| I shall know no fear as I am fear incarnated |
ZingFreelancer said: My real concern is whether or not Lawrence and Horo can become a couple and the fact that Horo can live a very long life, she might just outlive Lawrence. That why, I just wonder if this story will have a happy ending Same here. Unfortunately "happy endings" are very rare in anime. Most likely it will be a bittersweet one. Hopefully not a drama ending! o.O Well, as long as there will be a kiss (and I mean a real one, not just on the cheek), I will be satisfied. ^^ |
|
| I do really wonder why there is so few happy endings? Trying to teach a mentality that a there is no happy endings in real life? Or sumthing like that... I dont know, but some people at anime suki mentioned One can always hope I guess :) |
| I shall know no fear as I am fear incarnated |
| Yen Press is releasing volume 1 in English in December of this year. I have yet to actually read the Baka-Tsuki translation, but I was waiting for the second volume before reading. Now that there's a physical version coming out though I'm getting that day 1. |
|
| Its as good as bought ^^ |
|
| well I've read the first 6 chapters of volume 1 of the manga so far. I think I'll also check out the novels. Well, I know I'll check out the novels. I much prefer novels over manga and even more than anime. Edit: Well I've read volume 1 of the novels and may read volume 3 next. I'd really would like to read volume 2 first though. I have an observation about the differences in the versions. It seems to me that the anime's Horo is closer to the novel's Horo than the manga's while the manga's plot is more or less identical to the novel's plot. |

| The 11th chapter of the S&W Manga has been translated: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/wolf_and_spice/ |
|
| 12th chapter was translated.... not that anyone seems to care besides me, but I just wanted to let you know. :P |
|
| I find the novel superior to the manga actually :P And thankfully as I've observed so far the anime (or at least the new season, I haven't checked the first season) is very faithful to its novel counterpart, unlike some animes. The last (2nd) episode made me too curious so I peeked in, finished to chapter 3, got a bit lazy, read the important parts and arrived at final chapter where I read the full thing as well. I was just being lazy I guess D: Sidenote: volume 3 is translated from the Chinese version of the book but then again, it's free so I don't really think it's that bad of a deal. |
| I have a question. I've watched both seasons of the anime. Of course I loved both of them. Just wanted to know which chapters/volumes etc of either the manga or novels follow on from the second season of the anime? |
 Conquering others is strength. Conquering yourself is true power. |
| As far as I know, the second season covers volume 3 and 5 of the novel (volume 4 was skipped due to unknown reasons). Not sure about the manga. |
|
| Safe for the input. |

| Starting the Spice and wolf novel....but reading the word vertical is not get used to it... >.< all together 13 volume really alot!!! |
| Yeah, but the problem is that I (We) have to wait 6 years until they translate volume 12/13.... The Spice n Wolf project on Baka-Tsuki has been canceled due to copy rights.... Buuuuuut if anyone wants the chapters translated so far, just ask me ^^ I'll send you them. |
| ʕ • ᴥ • ʔ |
| http://forums.bleachexile.com/showthread.php?t=26458&page=19 Apparently the translator didn't give up even if B-T dropped the project. |
| Great News! ^^ |
|
| Can someone please post a link on manga translations? I can't open previous links =( |
| LOL has anyone seen the English version of the Spice and Wolf manga volume 1 cover? There seems to be a parental advisory warning about explicit content...on the UK version at least |
| Not on the US version 8D But the STUPID COVER D: < |
| |
| So where are the Novel translations sitting these days (since BT removal) -------- I have only bought the Novel Volume 1 and made sure I got the ORIGINAL slip cover with it >.> not that neo-american cover bleh |
