The official social media accounts for the TV anime Spice and Wolf: MERCHANT MEETS THE WISE WOLF have launched a special campaign titled “A Summer Journey with Holo”, running daily from August 1 through August 31 on the series’ official X (Twitter) and TikTok channels.
Campaign Content
Built around the concept of “a summer of memories spent with Holo,” the campaign will roll out a variety of content throughout the month, including:
- Daily “One-Word Voice” clips — newly recorded audio by Ami Koshimizu, the voice actress behind Holo
- “Summer Festival Voice” — audio content designed to evoke the feeling of going on a date with Holo dressed in a yukata
- Vertical-format videos spotlighting Holo’s cutest moments from Season 1
- Photos of the fan-favourite “Holo puppet” set against summer scenery
- Special illustrations of Holo drawn by members of the production staff
To kick things off on August 1, an August calendar wallpaper featuring Holo in a yukata was made available for download. Character icons using scene cuts from Season 1 are also planned for future distribution.
