I'm not really familiar with Yakari. It's a Franco-Belgian comic set in the past about a Sioux kid who can talk with animals.
It's simple, a quick read and has good life lessons for kids.

The story for this volume is a tribesman has an obsessive grudge over a wolf he fought years before. Yakari has to figure out what's going on and bring peace.

My interest in picking it up was, well, it had wolves in it. And the art looks pretty good.
It's a decent read.
If you're not able to find the comic, the story was included in the Yakari animated series:

Kalo ada serigala melolong, jangan takut. Mereka tidak sedang memanggil hantu. Serigala melolong tanda sedang bernyanyi. Lolongan itu adalah melodi, jadi nikmatilah.

It's another really quick Yakari- but that matters naught when the plot and art are so good. He even got me choked up a bit with the emotion of "Tormented Wolf"!
