hahahaa- wow. I can't believe I'm coming across this thread because I just experienced going through this subject with *someone *recently. Lols. But yes- light novels basically tell the story- without all the art in manga. They're just like short books. That's probably why they're called "light novels," hahaa.

Summed up. It's a combination of prose and manga-style artwork.

Does that need to be explained any further?
