Light Novels are a type of novel geared mostly towards the teen and young adult demographics. They often feature
illustrations, albeit not as many as manga series have.
Thus, light novels can be considered a written medium
between the classic novel (devoted to writing) and manga (great amount of images).
Considering their relatively
short length - generally 40,000–50,000 words -, they are similar to Western novellas.
Most of them are
published in bunkobon size - small-format paperback, designed to be affordable and portable.
If a
light novel series is popular enough, it will most likely spawn other media products (anime, games, manga, live action
films, drama CDs etc.) in order to promote it — or the other way around.
Well-received adapted series have
benefited from releases of Light Novels as side stories and/or sequels, as a means to give further details and expand
upon the plot.
