Why would you vote for a pairing from an obscure anime?
BECAUSE IT’S AWESOME, THAT’S WHY.
But in all seriousness…
The Series
Spice And Wolf (Ookami to Koushinryou) is an anime derived from the novels of the same name that takes place in a setting similar to Medieval Europe and centers around a young merchant named Craft Lawrence. To make a long story short, he stumbles across a young girl sleeping in his cart one night. As it turns out, she’s not a girl at all; she’s a wolf deity named Holo (which is the official romanization, but some people call her Horo; take your pick).
She tells him how she wants to return to her homeland of Yoitsu, and after a bit of coercing, he agrees. The two travel together and she bestows upon him her wisdom in financial affairs. They go through some interesting trials together and become closer during their ordeals, and while a story centered on economics and trade might sound boring, it’s difficult to explain its charm with words. If anything, the characters are sure to keep you around.
The Characters
Craft Lawrence is, frankly, a typical nice-guy. He has a tendency of being easily flustered (mostly due to Holo) and can be a bit spacey and careless at times. There’s no doubt that he’s intelligent, but his naïveté can sometimes get in the way of his common sense. In those regards, it’s pretty much a wonder how he managed to survive before Holo came along.
Holo, on the other hand, is cunning and sarcastic, prideful and wise. She’s charming and she knows it, even using it to her advantage on numerous occasions. She loves teasing Lawrence at his expense, but she’s saved him from quite a few mishaps.

From:LAWRENCE/HOLO (cont.)
Date: 2009-07-13 03:15 am (UTC)Lawrence and Holo have a quirky relationship that can swiftly change between flourishing and being on the rocks, but the one component that is always present is their trust. They’re willing to risk their lives to save one another, and I would even venture to say that there isn’t a part of Lawrence’s life that he wouldn’t trust to Holo (except his wallet, orz).
They talk like they’ve known each other for their entire lives, they have minutes of DEEP MEANINGFUL EYE CONTACT in the anime, and there’s mounting evidence to suggest that their relationship will become canon. Canon or not canon, romantic or platonic, their bond with one another is definitely intriguing to watch.

Date: 2009-07-13 05:37 am (UTC)I don't even know what this is but I voted for it because I didn't want to think about the ugly guy who plays Dean (yuck his lips) touching the handsome man who plays the Comedian.

From:Matchup #25: VOTE PARKER/HARDISON! VOTE HOT NERDS 2009!!<3<3<3<3
Date: 2009-07-13 01:24 pm (UTC)She is a thief, and she is crazy, but she is good at what she does. Also she is hot
Here is Hardison:
He is a geek, a freaking hot one. And he paints and is totally non-violent even though he is a computer hacker and criminal.
Together they commit crime and help people (with help but this isn't about the Leverage team)
She thinks she is messed up, but Hardison likes how Parker turned out:
He thinks she is hot even when she wears ugly bridesmaid dresses. Also she totally uses the guise of meeting him for sex to get out of cons:
Hugging is very much appreciated here:
They make out in order to get into secure areas in order to steal precious statues:
Also, when they say good bye they banter and look at each other:
Hardison: Where you going?
Parker: Let's see how hard you look.
In conclusion vote awesomely hot nerds for Hottest couple 2009.
