Hasekura launched the Spice and Wolf novel series with illustrations by Jū Ayakura in 2006. The novels went on hiatus after the 17th volume in 2011 before resuming with the 18th volume in 2016. The latest installment, the 24th volume, was released in January 2023. Yen Press published the 24th novel in North America in August and is also handling the manga adaptation. In April 2016, Hasekura began a spinoff series titled Wolf & Parchment: New Theory Spice & Wolf, which is also being published in English by Yen Press, along with its manga adaptation.
