S3 soon
>>139804681
So what? Is it a novel, an anime? April Fools is long gone. Gotta stop playing with my heart-strings.
>>139805781
new novel series
>>139804681
S3 hope getting up again.
I'm on the last book already. I realy hope it gets an english translation aswell.
>>139805959
I'm glad to hear it, hopefully we get a fan translation going. Surprised more on /a/ arn't rushing at the news but maybe those that remember left us long ago.
>>139804681
So how old is Lawrence now? 35?
>>139804681
This makes me happy,
imma cry mane
What's that about? is it a reading example?
http://hasekuraisuna.jp/trial/spicywolf-mag1/#
>>139807178
In the old novels he is 27 when I'm not mistaken.
>>139807178
It's ten years later. So yes.
>>139804681
This won't end badly will it? Euraka seven comes to mind
>>139804681
Looking forward to translations.
Will there ever be a Season 3? I would even be happy with 3 OVAs.
>>139809180
There could very be one if they need to push the new VN for sales
Maybe GSC can finally fucking get around to do Holo rerelease, even though I've stopped buyfagging from being jobless, I'd gladly go in debt to get her.
>>139807614
This is the original creator doing it, at least, so hopefully there won't be anything like the devastation that was AO.
>>139804681
What about Billionaire Girl and somethingsomethingKemonomimiandAlchemist?
Anyway I think is time I finish the novels. I left where that girl whatshername con Lawrence and left down the river.
>>139809648
I was under the impression that the story ended as good as it could of and continuing it could risk things like most series
>>139812120
Looks like it could be about the kid in a "new generation" type of way, it could work.
>>139812120
It ended pretty much perfectly, I am not sure what I think about this.
>>139804723
>nah fucking april fools I can read moon won't fall for this sh-
>It's fucking real
HOLYSHITAnime adaptation of the rest of the series when?
>>139811879
I stopped at the same point. That new brat Lawrence and Holo picked up just kinda ruins it for me. Now that this came around I have another reason to finish it.
>>139811879
>>139812432
Are you me?
>>139812432
>>139812489
Cole adds a lot to their interactions, I also found him annoying at first but he does help develop their relationship.
So does this mean that we get to find out more about the moon eating bear and finally find Holo's home empty and barren?
>>139804681
Hmm, not sure if want or not. The final novel is almost out and I'm thinking of just ending it with that. The overall story is good, and I enjoy the relationship story between Holo and Lawrence, but there are times when I just can't make head or tails of what's going on, especially when it's an internal thought monologue. Maybe it's poor translation or something. But I think it would be better to just assume they live happily ever after and leave it at that.
Did Holo seriously name her daughter after her ex-boyfriend
>>139812694
It wasn't Cole the one that put me off, but the extremely long voyage down the river plus I was reading something more interesting at the same time, and I kinda forgot about it.
Anyway, I want to fuck the lolifox.
>>139813119
>Holo
>loli
Haha what? First time for everything I guess
MY WAIFU IS COMING BACK!AWWWWWW YISSSS.
>>139812992
Is this a new epic meme?
>>139813182
Did you not read OP?
>>139813246
I guess I was assuming people would at least wait for a visual of the child before deciding they were attracted to it.
>>139813182
Do you even know what's this thread about you huge faggot.
>>139812992
>ミューリ
The site is pretty clear about that
'Next generation' stories like this usually sounds great on paper but falls through in execution. Is Isuna coming back to this since Economica, Maoyuu, and Billionaire is shit in comparison?
>>139813361
Isn't Magdala Isuna too? I wish that manga would update.
>>139804681
This makes my heart all fuzzy and warm.
>>139813361
How shit are Economica and Maoyuu, exactly? Are they at least better than Billionaire Girl? That one was a huge disappointment.
What's bad about seeing Lawrence and Holo qt daughter, this can only be good
>>139813119
>the extremely long voyage down the river
It's only one fucking book
I kid. There's like no conflict in it besides Lawrence+Holo relationship stuff, which could understandably be boring
>>139813361
>Isuna
>Maoyuu
Anon...
This news takes the pain out of having the last English novel shipping this month.
>>139804681
I finally started watching this and i have a question, why Holo have no nipples?
>>139814300
Because you're not reading the manga
>>139814493
I will after i'm done.
>>139806686
It was announced like a month ago, you're slow.
>>139814237
oh fuck you have the whole physical set? That's great man. Look after it well!
>>139814694
That's not the whole set he's missing 16
>>139813839
Don't listen to that anon, Economica is good
>>139814810
The endings for WEE1 and 2 were amazing. WEE3 never; damn slowass Sekai Project
>>139815123
I still hope you're not right.
>>139816409
If
https://sekaiproject.com/progress.php
is to be believed, we'll get it... eventually. It's been a few % the past few months when it started IIRC
Full picture of Miyuri fucking when!
>>139818627
She's probably gonna look like loli Holo anyway, nothing original
>>139818627
Here you go anon
>>139818796
Who's this guy anyway
>>139818893
He's Myuri
>>139818960
I knew the name already, I was asking what's his role is and who is he as a character
>>139819047
Try picking up a book
>>139819067
I'm too busy picking up your mom at the moment, why don't you tell me instead.
>>139804681
>we sequel now
yes! YES! YES!
anime when?
>>139819128
Because I don't give a shit if you ever learn or not
>>139819249
You should instead since I'm gonna become your daddy soon.
>>139819331
Pick up a bio textbook while you're at it
>>139818784
Well... See >>139804875
Yes!
>it finally happened
>>139807614
>>139809648
Well...
>Lawrence is set to eventually pass away from old age, leaving long-living Holo and Myuri behind.
>They probably find new traveler and form oyakodon relationship with him.
Rather, this can not end well.
>>139822980
>implying they won't lesbian and fuck the shit out of each other
>Lawrence will never be granted eternal life through some magic bullshit
I don't care how they do it but they should.
>>139823277
Do you remember Clannad hater anon? Same thing will happen with this series if they pull miracle bullshit.
>>139823729
I don't care. Threads were already ruined by the whole wolf rape shit.
Give me my happy ever after ending.
>>139815123
They said 2016 right?right???
>>139814237
Well you reminded me I'm way behind on buying the physical copies. I stopped at 9 and just read the fan translations. Just dropped 90 bucks on the rest of them.
>>139822980
Everyone dies, anon.
Wait, so is this about fun times at the onsen, with Lawrence and family? Because that I could dig, but if it's a spinoff about the daughter adventuring, I'm not sure about that. Prefer to keep Lawrence and Holo as the main characters.
>>139824987
Sounds like both.
It'll probably focus on the daughter though.
>>139804681
>Actually happening
The onsen will continue to be run by Korbo, her daughter and whatever other children she has with Lawrence before his death of old age, they will happily welcome travelers and hear their stories to satisfy their curiosities (perhaps some of the children hook up with travelers), eventually people will notice the same family has been running an inn for multiple generations without aging and will probably burn the place down.
>>139805959
A WHOLE FUCKING SEIRES? HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
>Because Holo fucked Lawrence, he now is magically immortal too
Please do it, absolute madman
>liking a slut who got gang raped
>>139812992
W-what? Did Holo really have an ex? Elaborate, anon.
>>139826154
>>139812992
According to Holo, when Lawrence breached the subject, they "Weren't like that"
>>139826154
If by ex you mean boyfriend then no she didn't, she was still a virgin till she met Lawrence, as absurd as that sound but you know, Japan purity fags would riot, not that there's anything wrong with that actually.
>>139826240
>>139826268
I don't want to know about whether she fucked the other guy. Holo being a virgin makes sense. Just want to know if there was indeed someone she was romantically involved with before.
>>139822980
Those born immortal will instinctively know how to handle being immortal. Lawrence will grow old and die. But during his life Holo will be his and his alone. She'll grieve and confide in her daughter when it happens, and eventually move on. "Til death do us part"
Damn that's old for olden times Lawrence gonna die in like 2 years
>Fertility Goddess
>only made one kid in 10 years
Come one Lawrence, you're slacking off.
>>139804681
THERE IS A GOD
>>139827643
Since the pagan gods are dying out he really should have made it his duty to create as many halflings as possible.
Imagine being the father of a legacy of children that live for several centuries. Maybe they could even inbreed to keep the fox genes pure.
>>139828022
hes just waiting for his daughter to be old enough before he makes more babies
he wants to make some grey foxes
Fucking Yen Press.
>>139814748
>That's not the whole set he's missing 16
>implying
>>139828898
The NHK novel there is wort ha fair bit by now.
I put off buying Spice & Wolf for so long it's finally all been translated for purchase.
>Surely this will come out in a timely manner
FINALLY
YES
>>139829462
>The NHK novel there is wort ha fair bit by now.
The owner of RightStuf found a huge cache of them about five years ago in a warehouse somewhere. They were on his Amazon personal account for $30 for a long time. Might still be there.
>>139829854
Fuck, if that's true he's very lucky.
The Chinese site said that the new novel start with holo's funeral with
Lawrence attending it......
>>139827548
The birth rate back in those days was brought down by kids dying so much but if you got to adulthood you lived for a good long while.
>>139829968
How the fuck would she even die? As long as her wheat isn't destroyed she's immortal
Hope was never given up.
Was going to make a post about it but this is as good of a time as ever. I'm making another batch of mugs and taking orders. Closing them out come the end of the weekend. Email [email protected] if interested. The more /a/nons who get in the better.
>>139830300
You just answered your question there. Althought I can't remember exactly what happens if her wheat is destroyed.
>>139826079
kek, yes that is the best possible ending
>>139830800
Definitely not death. As you can see here >>139804875 Holo passed her wheat sachet to Myuri, without any problem.
>>139829932
Here they are. Still $30.

Passed it, but what would happen if it was destroyed?
>>139831174
Sweet, and thank you very much. I have my copy from 2007 but my gf will love to have one.
All she knows they still sell for 70$ +
>>139830746
Are you able to ship to Australia, or is this a USA only thing?
>>139831487
Very costly to ship international but doable. I keep the mugs at the manufacture price though and only post about it on /a/.
>>139831452
>my gfI tried reading NHK to me classy /a/non ex-gf a few years ago and even she told to me stop when I got to the pedo parts.
>>139831593
>Very costly to ship international but doable.
It will still probably end up cheaper then using a mob over here to make my own.
>>139804681
Just finished reading ch 1, going to reserve judgement for now. Not sure where they are are taking it...
How are the Yen Press translations? I never found the time to read the novels, but if I have the physical copies maybe I'll finally get to them.
>>139832480
They're good. About as good of a translation as you can expect from Japanese. Especially since LNs aren't exactly known for their literary genius anyway.
Is it time?
>>139805656
I won't lose hope!

She bought me this so it's only fair.
>>139832543
This is partially my concern about beginning to read them as novels since I've only watched the anime. I worry that the style of writing may not match .
>>139833129
Maybe, most things only get revitalized or finished of when there's something new to advertise.
>>139833213
>She bought me this so it's only fair.
Awesome.Three girlfriends since 2010 have bought my S&W novels. The only one that means anything is the first one who wrote in a note about wearing ears if I wanted a 3D Horo.
>>139834086
Aww, that sounds so lovely and cute.
>>139829854
Sweet.
>>139830746
Its been two years already, huh?
>>139804681
Interesting that protagonists almost always have a single daugther
>>139835245
You have a good point. You think authors would want to make subtle hints to reproduce more.
>>139804681
I haven't even finished the first series, happy this ride won't be ending any time soon.
>>139804681
How much incest can we expect?
Also
>Running a bathhouse
These fucking perverts...this is a European setting.
>>139836544
Rome had bathhouses. Be more specific with "european setting"
Is this hentai canon?
>>139836779
Protestant Europe.
>>139836891
Disgusting protestants
>>139836825
Can we stop drawing Lawrence as a sickly old man though? Can someone draw /fit/ Lawrence?
>>139836825
Technically no, but basically yes
How long until tail surgery becomes a thing and this can become real?
>>139837465
You realize of course that if such a surgery were real, the vast majority of the recipients would be fat teenagers and gay men.
>>139837465
>Surgery
I think you mean genetic engineering
>>139837582
Well my line of thinking is
>get cute gf
>make her emotionally dependent on me
>tell her we're over unless she gets a tail
Holo is made for unbirth.
>>139804681
>obligatory "family" bathing
>>139837711
>unbirth
A criminally under illustrated god tier fetish.
>>139837711
>>139837644
You can do that now; it's called a buttplug.
>tfw no SoL with Holo and Lawrence
I liked it a lot in the beginning, they were just going around doing business.
>>139837854
But what if I want to fuck her in the ass and pull her tail at the same time?
>>139837900
Double-sided tape. Glue. Staple gun. Silly putty.
I guess the author didn't know how to top Lawrence, or didn't want huge knee-jerk reactions to Holo moving on and being with someone else
>>139809474
>even though I've stopped buyfagging from being jobless, I'd gladly go in debt to get her.
Anon, have you not learned anything from watching this show? I mean, unless you have some cunning plan involving gold smuggling to take care of your debt or something.
I think the manga is ending soon, everyone should give it a read. It's 2-page spread and blush porn. Holo way cuter than in the anime too.
>>139838041
>Holo moving on and being with someone else
There's literally no reason to even consider this as a potential plot unless you have a NTR fetish(like me)
>>139829854
>The owner of RightStuf found a huge cache of them about five years ago in a warehouse somewhere. They were on his Amazon personal account for $30 for a long time. Might still be there.
Is that the seller "shawnek-rightstuf"? They're still up as New.
>>139838041
Or maybe his other works didn't do well so he decided to comeback for S&W.
World End Economica barely had any presence.
>>139838138
Holo mentions to the lonely halfling who outlived his wife to "Just find another mate already" and there's been a few implications that Lawrence and Holo have had that chat before.
I think Lawrence is just determined to make the most of the time he has and be the best he can be for Holo. He's pretty much dedicated his entire life to building a massive fuckoff hotsprings Inn in the mountain near her home so she'll be comfy and never be lonely
>>139838325
Magudala was fine, a little confusing at times, but I'd expect that from the author of S&W.
I especially like how the MC made his friend try to rape the loli so that he could save her and she would become emotionally dependent on him.
its korbo
Awuuu
>>139838423
That's such a bad and overused "muh immortality" cliche is what I'm saying.
It'd be more interesting of you got something like Kurozuka where Holo is going through some crazy shit to keep Lawrence alive through the centuries.
>>139838138
Well the end of the LN is about her being able to move on after Lawrence inevitably dies from old age.
>>139838587
Holo chased a narwhal in her past to try and make a past companion immortal when he was dying.
She's dealt with mortality before, and I think copping out by making Lawrence immortal would dilute the message.
>>139838672
What message?
>>139838628
Fucking slut. In the josei version of spice and wolf the immortal wolf's waifu becomes a tree.
Why can't Lawrence become a tree, huh?
>>139838628
Can you exactly point out what parts of the last book she talks about moving on? Finished the book a while ago but the only part I remember of her talking about moving on was when that bird guy came in and Lawrence was just being a jealous fuck about birdman and Holo talking.
>>139838773
People die when they are killedby old age
>>139839669
Not in my fox god LN they don't. Maybe blood transfusions or pussy juice cocktails would do the trick. you don't know
>>139824682
And it was your fault.
>>139839833
any anons have that pic of the "oh shit nigger what are you doing" scale for furry
>>139839511
Don't even pay attention to NTR posters. They probably think she got gangbanged too.
>>139838490
But updates never
![[UNSET].png](https://i.imgur.com/4p71DQt.jpg "[UNSET].png")
>>139840878
It's finished anyways.
>>139840429
I am asking it as a serious question though. I remember at some point they do have a talk about what could happen after Lawrence but that's it.
I just need to re-read the series again, it took me 2 months to finish and I felt I rushed through a lot of it
Holo should sit by Lawrence's grave her entire life like the mutt she is.
>>139840965
Then they should hurry up and finish translating it.
>>139840429
I know this got updated by yenpress but did they update all of them in paperback or is it digital only?
>>139842107
The manga? I have up to 11 in paper so I'd assume they'll keep that up. What kind of company releases in only digital anyways? That seems like a surefire way to lose your money.
>>139842498
yea you're right i just googled it. I was wondering since i like digital in the first place.
>>139842934
Okay, why pay for them though if you just want the digital version
>>139843019
I'm a dumb shit with disposable income.plus i cant find it in the first place.
>>139842498
12 comes out this month I think.
>>139844858
I wish the demographic was older so they could have a scene where Holo and Lawrence take Norah's virginity together.
>>139844858
The manga has some cute shit. One of my favorites is really subtle though
>Lawrence thinks she'll leave him
>Makes this declaration
>Stays conscious just long enough to see her tail slightly wag
>Knows in his heart that she won't leave him and passes out, content with her response
>>139845205
>>Knows in his heart that she won't leave him and passes out, content with her response
That face doesn't look content to me, and he wakes up running around looking for her in a hurry because he thought she was leaving.
A nice thought though.
>>139845205
>>139845300
He smiles and then passes out when he sees her reciprocate his feelings. When he wakes up, of course, his first rational thought is to find Holo for a definitive answer >>139845303 .Seeing her not by his bedside is gonna make him panic no matter what her response was.
>>139807178
I think a better question is where's this guy
>>139823277
In the LN it's written that Holo already went once on a quest to find immortality for humans but gave up.
>>139845303
Managaka's spread game fierce.
>>139845432
Yeah but she also never liked one enough to have a baby with or marry so you know...
She should just have him drink her blood or something. That seems to work for a lot of immortals in my various mangos.
>>139843019
To support your hobby?
>>139845446
I find it very odd Spice and Wolf doesn't have digital rips on MDKM when stuff that's way more niche does.
But what about another season of the anime?

Eve was a canon whore.
>>139848052
No she's just a jew. The only man she considered running away with seriously was Lawrence. But all he ended up with was a kiss.
For some reason, I think /k/omrades would be more happy than /a/nons, for this news.
I don't want this.
It's been so long. How many of you are still here
Wheres my old horofags when the first 2 seasons were aired
Can I finally rest and join you

We're here in gensokyo. Come join us.

I don't want you.
>>139849466
I want Holo's flaccid cock swishing around in my mouth.
Ookami to Koushinryou: Spring Log prologue:
He slowly approached the altar and sat next to the coffin.
There, lying in a bed of flowers, was a face that even now he suspected might be gently snoring if he listened closely enough.
"Who would ever have thought that I would be the one attending your funeral service..."
Lawrence gently stroked the powdered cheek in the coffin as he spoke.
"Holo."
A melancholy bell could be clearly heard tolling from the other side of those doors.
It was, after all, a clear and sunny winter day.

The funeral is a ploy to get the church off their tails long enough for them to escape.
>>139850281

>Demon is dead

If the entire story ends with her death I'm going to personally find and anally pillage everyone responsible.

NORAH WINS
Knowing the author this is most certainly
1. A way to generate quick buzz.
2. Some sort of ploy by Holo and Lawrence
Since this is a monthly magazine they need to build a cliff hanger to get people to buy the next issue. I guarantee Holo isn't dead. I'm not saying I like this as a plot point since it's cheap and manipulative, but I know why they did it.
Holo ain't dead boiz
>>139850281
>Not even a tear
That is the face of a man who murdered his wife.
>>139850281

>Holo's constant complaining and moodiness finally sets in on Lawrence
>He can't take anymore, he's tried everything to push her away but she won't leave
>Bitch be cray
>Murders her, makes it look like an accident
>Even attends her funeral
>>139850281
If Holo die I launch nuke
>>139850585
What if Lawrence wants to embrace his daughter's "wolf heritage" out of respect to Holo and decides to fuck her because she looks similar to her mother, as male wolves typically do with their daughters in nature?

>I knew I shouldn't have tried anal
