While related to {{Manga}} and {{Anime}}, light novels are actually prose, written in short paragraphs for fast reading. Light novels are very popular in Japan, chiefly among teenagers and young adults, but due to the amount of translation involved, [[NoExportForYou very few]] of them make their way to English-language markets. This may start to change, however, as ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' sold better than expected, and Yen Press has created the successful strategy of marketing them to the people who read novels and not just anime/manga fans. There are also a relatively large number of translated {{yaoi}} light novels [[BleachedUnderpants Due to the nature of the illustrators]], many Light Novels out at the moment are mostly {{Ecchi}} to capitalize on their talents.

The term light novel is a misnomer. While many people believe that the word "light" in the name means the novel is '''short''' (and they usually don't last much longer than 200 pages) or that it uses '''manga-style illustrations''', the truth is that this actually refers to the text inside. Modern light novels use simpler, easier to read everyday kanji as opposed to "hard" novels, which generally contain much older words which, even for Japanese readers, may necessitate keeping a dictionary on hand to understand. The closest parallel in the Western world is probably the distinction between "literature" and "young adult fiction."
