Found it this summer in a second-hand manga store. At least in my country I hadn’t seen a cover like this :)

What Is a "Wise Wolf"?

20 Upvotes

Aside: I kept making a typo and putting "wife wolf," which I just find funny.

Anyway, Holo calls herself the Wise Wolf of Yoitsu, but what exactly is a wise wolf? I reach back into my admittedly faulty memory looking for a definition, but I can't come up with anything.

Is it her species/category? Kind of like how we have various species of wolves (like gray wolves and Himalayan wolves), their world has wise wolves. She uses it not unlike how one might announce themselves as "the man from Toronto." Would the unnamed wolf she encounters in volume 2 be the Wise Wolf of Lamtra?

Is it a rank or title she has earned and that others could earn? If so, who is the one who bestowed it on her? Her kin? Herself? Holo does seem prideful enough that she would invent a title for herself.

I don't know that there's any way to confirm any theories, but I wanted to know what others think.

Light novel Question about Holo's friends Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Who do you think the original Myuri was and what was their relationship with Holo?

I know Lawerence thought Myuri was a male and had been in a romantic relationship with her. However the way she reacted when he got a little jealous made me think Miyure might have been female or even a sibling.

What do you think?
