“For example, it didn’t suddenly turn into a battle manga.”Īfter finishing the third volume, the writer planned out the ending. “I would say that the story pretty much went the way I wanted it to from the beginning to the end,” he said. He kept his attitude from sinking by “praying to any god who would listen,” and by Volume 14, he decided that Volume 17 would be the actual ending. In fact, Hasekura almost ran out of mental energy during those years when he was publishing volumes quickly, and there were times he wanted to simply give up. The first 17 volumes were written from 2006 through 2011, but it took him 10 years just to get the first volume published. Otherwise, it was harder starting the story than finishing it. He didn’t believe he could write slice-of-life stories, but he did not want his economics story to be typical. The reason the author was surprised by his own creation was that he initially started with an economics story only to add a fantasy character. While Lawrence likes Holo from the beginning, he did not anticipate that Holo would start to like Lawrence back by the end.

As of September 10, 2021, Spice and Wolf Spring Log was up to Part 6 (or, Volume 23 of the entire series).Īt the same time, the sequel, Spice And Wolf New Theory: Wolf And Parchment, revived the story for a new generation.
