>>2769963>>2769964I haven't read Kino, but Spice and Wolf is a comfy as fuck series about traveling, yes.
There's also a pretty strong emphasis on economics and general cunning, so that helps Lawrence and Holo stand out among your typical characters.
Now in my experience most people either love or hate the series, but people who like it tend to really fucking like it, so you should give it a shot.
If you want to test it out but not commit to a book, try a few episodes of the anime or the manga. If you decide you like it, you can buy a volume of the LN. The LNs are the source material and pretty well translated, so I'd personally recommend them over anything else if you only want to try one thing.
