The light novel – a genre which at its loosest could be defined as any novel with an anime-style cover, periodic illustrations and, of course, a sparsity of text inversely proportional to the length of its title – having apparently long since outstripped manga and visual novels as the premier source material for late night anime adaptations, it is only fitting that the best such adaptations be ranked by the viewers who lap them up.

Is Hyouka a light novel? I thought it’s just novel, but I might be wrong though, since I’d also considered Nisioisin’s works to be novels(jeez, not a single pic within the story and that thickness?)
