The story is set in a fictional middle age European type setting
Main character is a 25 year old traveling merchant Lawrence, who met Horo a 250 year old wolf, who is also a goddess of harvest that escaped the village she's supposed to watch over, because she believed the people there have forsaken her, and she also believed she has kept her promise of making sure there will be harvest there, she wants to go north, back to her homeland, and also to travel and see the world that has changed while she hasn't.
The story is about their travel and adventure together.
The anime is set for 12 episode

Lawrence - His goal in life is to gather enough wealth and start his own shop, he is currently a traveling merchant with a wagon, and having 7 year experience, he's smart and somewhat calculating, but a nice person.



Horo - 250 year old wolf goddess, her human form is that of a 15 year old girl, except with wolf tail and ear, she can be childish at time, yet at other time show her wisdom and age.


Pretty nice read, kind of like Kino's journey of no central plot just traveling around and adventure.
Only five book so far, so anime with 12 episode...maybe...3 book will be animated.
