Holo does not really hide or obfuscate how she feels about Lawrence at all it's all pretty much out in the open from the get go, and vice versa. The tension in the relationship instead comes from both of them being intimately aware of the disparity in their lifespans and how both of them don't know how they will be able to cross that bridge when they get there.

That and they have two wildly different end goals. Holo, to return to her home in Yoitsu, and Lawrence to settle down somewhere in human lands and open a shop.

Suleman posted:I watched some of the old anime adaptation back in the day, but I didn't appreciate what seemed to be a pretty typical tsundere characterization for Holo. It didn't seem like an interesting personality for a 1000-year-old wolf demigod. The only real tsundere trait Holo has is that she has a tendency to not be direct about her feelings, but instead of I guess the typical tsundere dance it's more about her vast age and experience and love of teasing I'll also just say it, Holo kind of enjoys being mean to an extent, though usually in the service of helping someone out

Its a way better characterization than my preconceived notion though, especially for a romance.

I think Holo's behavior in the (new) anime has stayed pretty true to how it is in the LN.

My main fear with this release was whether they were going to speed up the pacing since modern LN adaptations usually go through volumes in fewer episodes than they did 15 years ago, but at least the first arc it's been more or less 1:1 with every episode ending in the same places. Does not mean they will retain that pace all the way through but it's nice so far.
