I sounded perfect, and just had to be sure to spread the word! Maybe we can get this as well known a word as manga.

Even though the term “light novel” (raito noberu) isn’t disagreeable in Japanese, it doesn’t sound like something that I would want to read. The reverse translation of the term into English I think was picked up without any active thought, but J-Pulp is a more accurate and attractive way to describe this new genre.
