The remake of Spice and Wolf will have a second season

Following the airing of its final episode today, it was announced that the anime "Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf" will have a second season. The press release did not indicate a scheduled release date, but it is inferred that the same production team at Passione studios remains.

It should be noted that this is a new adaptation (remake) of the light novels written by Isuna Hasekura and illustrated by Juu Ayakura, "Spice and Wolf (Ookami to Koushinryou)", adapting the original contents more faithfully.

Isuna Hasekura and Juu Ayakura began publishing the light novels in February 2006 through Kadokawa's Dengeki Bunko imprint. The work inspired a manga adaptation by Keito Koume that was published between September 2007 and December 2017.

The franchise also inspired a twelve-episode anime adaptation produced by Imagin Studios, under the direction of Takeo Takahashi and scripts written by Naruhisa Arakawa, released in January 2008. A twelve-episode second season was produced by Brain's Base and Marvy Jack studios, and premiered in July 2009.

Synopsis of Spice and Wolf

Holo is a powerful wolf deity who is celebrated and revered in the small town of Pasloe for blessing the annual harvest. However, as the years go by and the villagers become more self-sufficient, Holo, who stylizes herself as the "Wise Wolf of Yoitsu," has been reduced to a mere folktale. When a traveling merchant named Kraft Lawrence stops in Pasloe, Holo offers to become her business partner if he eventually takes her to his northern home of Yoitsu.

The savvy trader recognizes Holo's unusual ability to assess a person's character and accepts his proposal. Now possessing both great business skill and a charismatic negotiator, Lawrence is getting closer and closer to his goal of opening his own store. However, as Lawrence travels the countryside with Holo in search of economic opportunities, he begins to realize that his aspirations are slowly morphing into something unexpected.
