Titled Spice & Wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf, this new anime revival teases that it will be a new take on the classic series and will also bring back many of those who were involved in the original release. To celebrate, Spice & Wolf has been releasing special posters on a steady basis giving fans a tease of how this new anime will look.

She wishes to return to her homeland, and Lawrence offers to take her. Now, the once-lonely merchant and the once-lonely wisewolf begin their journey north."
