Spice and Wolf II is the sequel to the first anime season that aired from January to March, 2008, adapted from the light novel series by Isuna Hasekura. The story follows a 25-year-old traveling merchant named Kraft Lawrence, who meets a wolf-deity named Holo who controls wheat harvest. Lawrence helps her escape a town she was bound to by an old promise to ensure good harvest. In return, she helps him with his business transactions as they head north toward Holo's homeland of Yoitsu.

The second volume of the DVD and Blu-ray compilation will include episodes 4 through 6 of Spice and Wolf II: "Wolf and the End of Shallow Knowledge", "Wolf and Hope and Despair" and "Wolf and Trustworthy God". Special feature "Stretch with Wacchi" is for Blu-ray only. The Blu-ray is priced at 7,980 yen(about $87) while the DVD costs 6,930 yen, so the Blu-ray might be the wise choice if you own a player. Both the Blu-ray and DVD will come out on November 4, 2009.

Ease your kink with Holo after an intense anime-watching session.

The first press of the Blu-ray will come with three waterproof pinups of Holo and a special box to keep the whole 4 volumes, and two illustration cards.

These are the somewhat provocative pinups. Why do they have to be waterproofed, anyway?

The box to keep four Blu-ray volumes.

And the cards.
