Well known sexy wolf anime (and manga, light novel and eroge) Spice and Wolf has received an officially released 18+ manga version, though the contents may not be extreme enough for some…

The release in question is the Taiwanese localisation of the manga version (renowned for some brief nipple action), which for some reason has been given an adults only rating, despite the absence of anything much in the way of ero.



It seems common for nations more prurient than Japan to either aggressively censor their releases, or restrict sales to minors (To Love-ru being a good example of both), so perhaps Taiwanese fans can at least enjoy the manga free of any censorship, and doubtless the sticker is no impediment to many minors.
Still, an 18+ rating does seem rather harsh; the same volume has been released in Korea without any restrictions at all…
The good source.
Those unhappy with the amount of ero in this manga can always take solace in the mountain of erotic art which exists of sexy sage Horo.
Ah, yes these markers are on quite a few books, although this is not strictly enforced, well, unless a kid look like he's 12 try to buy it. or wearing school uniforms. On the bright side, I don't have to wait for Fansub to pick up on the title and can just buy it instead..eh.
There's nothing ero at all in both the anime and novel, other than a few naked appearances she makes early on... Censorship of media is always unfair!! >.<
thanks for getting my hopes up ;_;
i heart horo, nipples or without
Is it just me, or is the cover image drawn by Koume Keito?
and yes the US goverment is the most unorganized
Why does America put 18+ on hentai/porn & ecchi, thats not stopping anyone.
The government is soooo fucking stupid.... If you actually try, you'll find an interesting list of things that are dubbed "Adult Only"
I came to see of what the media did with this so called "eroge release" of spice and wolf and im dissapointed and relieved,disopointed becuase ive gotten to the last episode of season 2 and relieved because im glad that people view anime for its purpose as a story i dont directly appose people into eroge but i like it ethier way to be simple i may get a file on this site i came for information and its becoming a helpful site so...
That's nothing new. Hong Kong's got dozens of volumes of Naruto and Bleach mangas wrapped up with tags saying "Not to be read by persons under 18", all due to their so-called interpretation of "violence". Even when no limbs are cut off, plenty of blood earns the 18+ tag as well.
What they need to do is translate the light novels faster. Not only Spice and Wolf, but other series too... wanna buy Index and Toradora =(...
Sorta like with America where manga of mature content is shrinkwrapped
My Disappointment is great right now.
at least they dont have to order it from other country...
For a minute there I thought the artist of the Wolf and Spice manga 'returning to' drawing hentai manga again...
Aw man, I was really hoping to see some real good pics.....
So now...nude with no nipples, pussy or but cracks seen is porn? Man they gotta lighten up... >_>
Artefact strikes again with his dubious titles.
Awww... I was hoping to see ero pics of Horo... D:
You sick, sick bastard.
Just kidding. In truth, I'd like to see those as well.
That's why I put in the links for you.
yeah, but I believe everyone was thinking Koume Keita would be doing it, you know.
Those panels/pics posted don't show how brutally it was censored tho. They are exactly the same as the Japanese release.
just asking, if you like Horo/Holo, does that mean you are into furries?
No. Kemonomimi and furry are two different things.
Howzzat? Sure it may not be "furry" according to anyone who's watched the MTV show (which is a pretty extreme example), but it's still anthropomorphic art...
10% is NOT furry.
Well, even slightly more hair than usual on a human body puts me off greatly, so no. And furfags are pretty unsympathetic people (vast majority of them at any rate).
Jeez, stop making it sound like Spice and Wolf is a furry orientated show goddammit >_<
And anthropomorphic art /= furry. There are all kinds of anthropomorphic art, OS-tans and mecha musume spring to mind. Furry means that even the humanoid form of a character must have some kind of fur covering the body. Kemonomimi and tails only add to the moe-factor, as Horo clearly illustrates.
OH, man I hate when people get things backwards its because of anthro , Kemonomimi, Zoomorphic, ect. that the furry Fandom exist. Meaning that stories or characters like Spice and wolf are what created the furry fandom not the other way around. So yes it would fall under furry but it is not furry if your not a furry is as simple as that. =:3
but surely you are 1 more step into furries than compared to most other people, no? considering that you like the furry ears and tails, its only the 'body' thats left before its full-on furries love
Or pehaps they slapped the rating on to hype up the contents of the manga?
I mean the plot description doesn't exactly sell the thing and Horo basically sells the show...
Actually, it's only for Kadokawa releases. Kadokawa Taiwan branch has these stickers that they paste on lots of their titles, for some reason. The other publishers have lots of nipples for everyone.
Tsukihime manga also got the stickers.
Tsukihime manga has those stickers because Arcueid's boobs (With nipples) were shown in book 6.
Heh the manga is great. I love the artist's style, I also prefer how he depicts Horo's mischievous nature.
sexy sage Horo pics are full of win....*drool*
Your avatar effectively reinforces you point :3
Koume Keito's art ?
I'm disappointed :(
