[edit] Kara no Kyoukai

Is Kara no Kyoukai really a light novel? It's pretty long at about 350 pages IIRC, and definitely not targeted at teenagers. -Seventh Holy Scripture

[edit] Redundant?

If we have a light novels category, do we need a list of light novels? They seem to accomplish the same thing... Doceirias 00:08, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I say that the category and list accomplish two different functions (in theory at least). The category is for articles related to light novels, this could potentially include prominent authors, illustrators, or publishing companies. The list on the other hand is a condensed format to list just the light novels themselves. An advantage of lists over categories is that additional notes can be added along side the titles in a list. This is not possible in a category. 63.161.86.254 (talk) 15:36, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Higurashi

Are the Higurashi novels really being released in English? Is there a source? --82.6.76.97 (talk) 23:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Katsushi Ōta said that he and Del Rey are planning to bring the Kodansha Box publishing line, which includes the Higurashi novels, to America. It's rather tenuous though, with that interview on his wiki page being the only source I can find. -Seventh Holy Scripture (talk) 00:28, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Absolute Boy

Is Zettai Shounen really licensed and released in English? I didn't find anything. Is there a source? Senfgurke2 (talk) 22:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
