Book sucks tbh. Descriptions of holo are gross. "But she's 390 years old, officer!"

Two lonely people come together to go on adventures of the economy and romance.

Kraft Lawrence is a lonely lonely man who just wants to settle down one day, and what happens? He meets a Harvest Goddess, low key, who annoys and fascinates him and being the lonely male that he is he falls in love with her.

Holo the WiseWolf has not been free from the wheat for year's and year's and when she gets the chance to escape with Lawrence she does! And her goal is to travel the world and get back to her mainland in the north.

This is a lot like the anime itself and that's good, you want a light novel and anime that align well together so this was great. What wasn't great is that I've already seen the anime so it was boring to see things coming that I already knew about.

I don't think I"ll be reading volume two anytime soon but I also wouldn't give up the opportunity to get my hands on the full collection.

Sweet book, complements the anime which I have watched first (though I have not finished the second season yet). A little bit different than the show but not major. I'm still either not quick enough to understand all of Lawrence and Holo's interactions first read or the translation is a little bit tough, but overall the translation seems very good. Slow romance + middle age economics ⭐️

خوندن مانگاش آنلاین رسما شکنجه بود :|
فکر کنم مانند همیشه، انیمه رو بیشتر از مانگا می دوستیدم...
+ کلا خاصیت مانگا و انیمه همینه. هر کتابی از فیلمش بهتره مگر اینکه مانگا باشه :|

+ به داستان، به شخصیت ها، به هورو و لارنس شخصاً پنج میدم. همه چی خیلی اورجینال و خوبه. خیلی "کاوایی" ـه، به قول خودشون :دی داستان هم حرف نداره. یعنی فک کنین یه انیمه در مورد بازرگانی و اقتصاد!
+لارنس خیلی پخته تر از پسرهای معمولی دبیرستایی انیمه هاست. سنی ازش گذشته ( حالا نه در اون حد ها! بیست و خورده ایه احتمالا ... ) و همین یکی از نقاط قوت فوق العاده انیمه س. هر دوشون خیلی بزرگونه تر رفتار می کنن... :))
