This came as a result of Light Novel publishers believing that people don’t read the blurbs on the back of the books. So their answer to this was to…. make the blurb the title.

Despite this, however, Light novels with overly long titles have very rarely topped in the best sellers, as the books that sell still tend to sell the best are ones with more traditional short titles.

So of course this trend has no bled over into manga as well because if something bullshit insane marketing scheme is proven to have no real effect other than to confuse and frustrate its consumer you gotta spread that shit to EVERYTHING.

i refuse to believe that image is a title

i cannot read it but it looks like a whole paragraph

Oh this is just the first page.

This Light novel is 196 pages long except it’s literally just the title.

This is modern art.
