I love S&W. I found out about this brilliant story from the manga and then went to the anime and finally the novels. It truly is a magnificent story. Thanks to all the translators from that hardworking website. Also i might try to do some minor editing to fix spelling/grammer errors or to make sentences flow better or make more sense.

But yes, I went from anime to novels and now to manga and have enjoyed all immensely (very rare with a franchise).

I didnt know that. I was sure that it would be only "forbidden" or "prohibited" in that case. With "Kindergarten" und "Schadenfreude" thats the third german word I know of that both languages use in the same manner. I also enjoyed anime, manga and novels immense so far. The whole Idea of a traveling merchant messing around with business contracts and a cunning wolf deity is totally unique and makes this a brilliant piece of art. |

I just noticed that the anime is still at volume 3... Well, not that I'm complaining.
@FTGT There are many more German words used in the English language like Stadtland, Angst, Zeitgeist, Dreck, Achtung, Blitzkrieg, Doppelgänger etc. ^^ |

And yet more words slip in simply due to the huge number of Germans who settled in America (Texas is dripping in German ancestry and still notes it with the names of towns, polka, and beer festivals). English is a slutty sponge of a language which makes it quite adaptable and survivable. Interestingly, Japanese is the same way (which is fascinating considering the general insularity of the culture).

May I mention the preview of the novel which is in an official site here?
I will delete it, if it is forbidden. Vol.12 is released on August 10. I thought that a cover illustration was the turn of twilight, but it seems to be midnight. Maybe Vol.11 was twilight. Spoiler for preview:
Vol.12 seems to be a role playing game somehow. |

It's Horo, not Han Solo.

Hi.
Hullo everyone. I have to say no anime has intrigued me this much in many, many years. Thanks to this and other fan forums, my thirst for information about this series has been slaked (but not quenched!) It is what drives me to ask, on my first post, a couple of questions.
1. Could someone please tell me about the people shown in the Spice and Wolf II OP? Basically, I would like to know who the nun and the white-shirted man, the old man sitting at the table, the chugalugging waitress(?), and the fellow on the rocking ship are. Is that drinking woman Iima from Volume 4? And why is the ED showing Amati curtsying to that nun? 2. Does Diana reappear in the novels? 3. Does that bear appear in the novels? Thanks. |
