Summary copy-pasted from my blog. Kind of lazy to retype.

Wikipedia JP says the series talks about a peddler named Craft Lawrence, a traveling merchant who’s wandering around the country-side selling and buying various things in villages he visits. His life changes one day when he finds a beautiful girl sleeping inside his coach full of the village’s finest sheaves. What’s more, she looks to be a cat girl. More like a wolf girl, to be exact, as she introduces herself as the village’s wolf sage who’s kept it blessed with good harvests for years and years. Her name is Horo and she wishes to return to her hometown in the North. The cocky girl bargains her way out of the village by making a deal with Craft to take her with him.
The story is described as a fantasy novel with neither swords nor magic. I’m guessing Ookami to Koushinryou will be a very heart-warming series with inter-relationship comedy and twists.

Ookami to Koushinryo - Merchant Meats Spicy Wolf

Official site
http://www.spicy-wolf.com/

Based on the light novel by Isuna Hasekura.
Winner of the Silver prize of the 12th Dengeki Novel Prize
And winner of the This Light Novel is Awesome! 2007also.

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.

Horo speak very traditional and formal...something like Middle English I believe, which I am not familiar with to translate~~

Horo: I want to travel with you, ok?

[The self proclaimed Goddess of Harvest Horo asked happily]

Lawrence: *Sigh* Well, since I think this is fate...so I'll let you travel along.

Horo: So..nice to meet you..umm..

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/8638/003nb2.jpg

Larwrence: Claff Lawrence..on the job I call myself Lawrence

Horo: Larwrence~

Horo: I shall let your name become a legend to be passed down forever

http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9173/004rs9.jpg

[So the fantastic journey between Lawrence and Horo started]

[Many thing happened]

[With misunderstand and path seperation]

[But together they overcame those obstacle, searching for Horo's homeland Yuizu, Together they traveled north]

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/7528/005io2.jpg
[This is something that happaned on their journey to Yuizu..]

Lawrence: Because of a mudslide, so we can't travel forward anymore?

Soldier: That's correct, The flood from a couple of day ago, collapsed the bridge, it will take a couple of day to fix.

Soldier: Sorry, but I have to go back to my job.

Lawrence; Thanks for the information

Lawrence: <That man look like the captain of an army>


http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/9287/006rw7.jpg

Lawrence: *Sigh* Ahh...uhh..

Horo: what are you troubled about? Just stay in the inn at this small town.

Larence: No, if it's going to take a couple of day, let's travel back and go to the church to sta...

Lawrence: < Uh...maybe that's not so good...>

Lawrence: Uhh..now that you say it...on the way to the church we'll have to sleep outside in the wild...

Lawrence: Just for a few day, staying at a inn should be ok.

Horo: REALLY!? <Ear moving>

Lawrence: HEY!? YOU EAR ARE SHOWING!?

Horo: Ommm~

Horo: But I really am suprised, because it's been a while since really resting..

http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/4655/007sl0.jpg

Lawrence: All the two person room are full?

Horo: Isn't there any other room?

Owner: We still have a single person room...payment we can just charge one person.

Owner: Beside you two look like a married couple...so isn't this better?

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/1591/008lw9.jpg

Horo: Hoo~ I can finally relax

Lawrence: Haven't slept in a bed for a long time, is that why you're so happy?

Horo: Of course I'm happy, Because I'm currently a normal weak girl...

Horo: So of course you'll cleanly let me use the bed, since I've traveled for so long and is so tired.

Lawrence: .........

http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/7325/009ja6.jpg

Horo: Umm..you...do we really look like a married couple?

Lawrence: ...Did you eat something weird again?

Horo: YOU IDIOT!!! WHAT did you think I was?

Horo: umm..that...

Horo: While we're here, can you treat me like a wife?

Lawrence: Wha!?

Too bad this series is going to be done by IMAGIN. They're notorious for their crappy production values (Cosmopolitan Players, Love Love? etc).

This show looks like it might be interesting. where u planning on working on it tango?

even with a bad studio producing it, the show still might be good. lovelove was horrible torture, but I liked hanaukyomaid tai TV series also by MOE alot even though it was low Q production.
