Orphan presents the first English version the 2008 TV special, *Kiku-chan to Ookami* (*Kiku and the Wolf*). This is the seventh show in Shin-Ei Animation’s *Sensou Douw*a (*War Fables*) series. It is considerably expanded from a short story by Nosaka Akiyuki, who also wrote *The Grave of the Fireflies*. It is a bit lighter in tone than the other specials in this series, but it still packs an emotional wallop.

This release, and all Orphan releases, are available for direct download from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
