SPICE AND WOLF LIGHT NOVEL SC VOL 07

Side Colors is volume 7 in the Spice and Wolf NOVEL series (NOT MANGA). There are 3 short stories - the first is ~120 pages and the other two are ~40 pages each. The first story takes place before the Spice and Wolf main story (pre-Lawrence). It is told through Holo's point of view as she meets some young traveler's and journeys with them for a short time. The second was actually adapted into the Spice and Wolf anime. It is about Holo and Lawrence buying clothes and exchanging money. The third story was also adapted into an anime special. Holo, Lawrence, and Norah have dinner, but Holo falls ill and Lawrence has to take care of her. Overall, nothing in the main story arc has advanced. This book was just a series of side stories and little snippets the author decided to write. In the ending word from the author, he says that the main reason for writing this book was to give some stories from Holo's perspective for a change from the main story, where it is all from Lawrence's perspective. If you have already watched the anime, this book is a little disappointing because you will know two of the three stories. Nonetheless it is still a fun read if you are a fan of the series.
