I think we should have a space for light novels. Here’s just one of them I have.
I’d read it - especially if it has pictures
Is Light Novel the same as Manga? genuine question since I don’t know much about it
Typically mangas are a more laid back experience on the light novels. Same storyline (mostly), just a bit of more enjoyable experience to read preferably. That’s how I typically look at it but they are closely similar.
And the same concept is used? The reading like back-comic like?
Ehh you could interpret that. Just look at it this way.
A. Mangas are like the wests version of a comic book, with cut outs per each section with more emphasis on the artwork and character design. It really wants to emerge you into the story with each block of the panel and with its sequential artwork. I personally enjoy manga more than LNs.
B. Light novels focus more on the story rather than the design of the characters. There’s obviously some designs in each light novel, as that’s how we see the characters for the first time. Light novels are called “light”, because it’s more of an easier read that focuses more on the plot and story development while still incorporating some artwork that is usually more heavily focused on per each piece in the book. Think of a LN as more of a small book with a few nice visual details every now and then.
It usually goes in this sequence for a lot of anime’s that you actually watch (at least the last time I checked). Light Novel → Manga adaptation → Animated series.
Nice info, thanks
What I am hearing is now you want to get into the dan machi LN
Noo, it was a serious question since we already have a Manga Thread and when the creator said we needed to have a Light Novel one, gave me curiosity to know the difference between them
Right so you need a Light Novel we get it lol
It’s got pictures, but it’s a super rare find. The physical copies of it anyway. Its also a disappointing read. It only has three volumes and the last one ends on a cliffhanger that has yet to be resolved.
No, that’s a light novel alright. A really good one too.
@_@ ahhh now I’m confused. I thought that was a Manga of Danmachi😅
Ah, my bad
Did you open it? Should be the manga
No biggy lol It’s yours to do with as you please
@MageHeart so now I have another question; does Danmachi only have Manga or there’s Light Novels too??
