The tale of a merchant and the beautiful wolf who invites herself into being his traveling companion is told once more, courtesy of Passione! And Jun Fukuyama and Ami Koshimizu play Lawrence and Holo as effortlessly as ever
!
What a beautiful and atmospheric OP! Featuring pastel Holo and Lawrence as well as all the various places and people they will meet in their journey
.
Kind of rough to go from a Wolf worshiped as a God of Harvest and given proper deference before getting turned into little more than a recreational game no one takes seriously. Though luckily for said wolf, a merchant shows up in the village with some wheat for her to transfer herself into so she's not lucked in a shed this year
.
There are definitely worse things to pick up from a village than a beautiful and naked wolf woman who oozes charisma. Did I mention she's buck-naked and not afraid to flaunt it
?
Oh hey, Tomokazu Sugita as Lawrence's buddy Yarei! He seems like a pretty fun guy, even if he doesn't take the villages' wolf superstition seriously, though in the current era it's probably harder to believe
.
Holo held herself to a promise to someone who accepted her true form that she would give a bountiful harvest to the village while also tending to the land...but now they don't really need her any more and don't truly believe in her, so she feels ready to move on and head back home. And Lawrence can't refuse the idea of traveling with her
.
First she's in your bed and now she's wearing your clothes! And she wears them amazingly well
.
And thus the merchant and his wolf companion (who wastes no time snuggling up to him on the carriage ride) begin their journey! Lawrence will provide the meals and travel, while Holo will provide him good fortune
