{{quote| ''"In every kind exists two guardians - a white and a black spirit which not only keep the balance in their own species but also in the whole world by fulfilling tasks given to them at the beginning of time."''}}
 
'''''[http://off-white.eu/ OFF-WHITE]''''' is a fantasy webcomic by Anna Podedworna and Katarzyna Redesiuk. The world in which the story takes place is a mixture of interpreted [[Norse Mythology]] and original ideas. The comic revolves around a pack of wolves led by their alpha to meet a mysterious sage, who will decide the destiny of the youngest member of the group, Iki.
 
In this world, among all living beings is a White Spirit and a Black Spirit. Their purpose is to keep the balance between the other spirits of their species. The humans of this world have lost their White Spirit and are now seeking the wolves' as a replacement, after trying various other animals, which all ended in failure. Albert and Seven are the agents sent to track the wolves and capture the White Spirit.
