Genre is fascist! All is narrative!

I can see this being a matter of some confusion with Japanese light novels, which are often adapted into manga and seem to go for manga-style cover illustrations.

I've been seeing multiple examples of English-language novels based on popular manga series.

Something I was unaware of: written by native English-speakers or translated?

[kgbooklog]

"My Hero Academia: School Briefs" and "Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World" are both translated. I can't remember which other series I saw.

It came up all the time with the Haikasoru novels.

[viktor_haag]

Did Haikasoru dwindle down and die because of flagging book sales? Or was there some other reason the imprint went on extended hiatus?

I find myself desperately longing for context.

Frustration is probably good for me tho.
