Dengeki Bunko Magazine has announced that Isuna Hasekura's and Juu Ayakura's light novel Ookami to Koushinryou (Spice and Wolf) will receive a sequel, Ookami to Koushinryou: Spring Log, to commemorate the series' 10th anniversary. The sequel will begin to publish in the magazine's 49th issue, to be released on April 9. An official website for the anniversary will launch on February 10.

Ookami to Koushinryou began publishing under the Dengeki Bunko label in February 2006, and it ended in July 2011 with 17 volumes. It was ranked first on the "Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!" list in 2007. It also received a manga adaptation drawn by Hasekura and Keito Koume. The manga began serialization in Dengeki Maoh and is currently on-going.

The novel was adapted into a TV anime by Imagin in Winter 2008. It received a second season by Brain's Base in Summer 2009. FUNimation Entertainment licensed both seasons for North American release.

Yen Press licensed the series and released the first novel in December 2009. Volume 17 is set to be released on April 19, 2016.

Saw on Crunchyroll a few hours ago, left me a bit speechless really. Not sure it's really necessary but I can't say I really mind~

Amazing news. While not strictly necessary I welcome it with open arms, especially as this together with the recent revival of older anime series gives me some actual hope for a third season again.

Its a light novel actually. Still hope that this sequel will make season 3 possible.

Series did indeed not need a sequel. I'd even be happy with side stories or whatever. Looking forward to spending more time with these characters.

I sure hope we'll get more animated content as well.

The original is already licensed by Yen Press and will be fully released in English in about 2 months. So I'd be surprised if they didn't pick up the sequel and start releasing that as well as soon as possible

Too bad it's just light novel for now. But I have a good feeling we may be getting another season. At the very least, I think this news gives more confidence for season 3.

Yen Press killed translations and Brains Base killed the sequel with its crappy work. Even though I loved the first series I actually feel rather indifferent about the news. It's not like I'll be able to read it and I doubt there will be another season for the anime. Sequel done by the people and the studio from the first season, that would be great news...

Can't wait! I need some more Holo in my life! Hopefully we can get a translated version soon after the Japanese release date, as I can't read Japanese.

Note: If you have only seen the anime you should check out the released light novels before reading the new one, as there is a big gap between the anime end and where the light novels left off.

A wolf, not a fox lol.

OT: Well, wish the new sequel will be an anime someday, but now I'm still aiming to catch up on first season.

Great news. But knowing ending of LN I think Holo and Laourence will not be MC in this.


First 6 Volumes were ok, from 7 adaptation was rushed and I heard that in 11 manga Vol. they rushed/skipped from half of 9 to beginning of 14 LN Volume. So it's not that great adaptation.

Talk about a massive surprise. Sure, it's no third season, but maybe it will be successful enough for a third season to end up being made. Even as someone not quite as enamoured with the anime as others, this is definitely what I hope to see happen.

@AllenVonStein: http://spiceandwolf.wikia.com/wiki/Holo Read this yourself xD Clearly, she's a wolf!!! xD And the anime title contains the word "wolf", so you know that she's a wolf anyway ;P But I guess the colouring scheme is misleading.

She is a deity, so of course there would be anomalies. First time hearing dropping of an anime due to the colouring scheme o.o Still, a lot of episodes were about economics from what I see in first season, so if you aren't into that, you might as well indeed not watch it.

I think the "Light Novel" part should be capitalized and repeated 10 times before "Gets Sequel". Such utter disappointment I'm going through right now.
