It's 677 pages. It's a full-fledged novel--nothing "light" about it.
...Sorry for the short report. There's really no way I can better support this point. |

While I'm not disputing that this isn't a light novel, but number of pages has nothing to do with it being a light novel or not. Light novels are a specific type of publication in Japan, in that they're novels with illustrations in them. I don't know about Another specifically, but regardless of length, if it has illustrations in it, it's considered a light novel.

IIRC there have been a couple of different releases with different cover art, and I think the number of volumes may have been different too? None of the information in our encyclopedia was submitted by me, so I can't remember when I looked it up before, or why. Wikipedia says:
So it sounds like the initial version was the larger "novel style" one, and that illustrations were only added on the second of two LN-size re-releases. Yen Press referred to it as a "novel" in their license announcement: http://www.yenpress.com/2012/07/new-license-announcements/ I'm voting for removing the "light". |
