it's called a novel

Lol. That just made me laugh so hard... "It's called a novel"...lololol.

No, it's a REGULAR novel with illustrations. A manga is what would be considered a graphic novel right? OMG why am I having this conversation right now? A novel is a novel it has paragraphs not word bubbles....this is a novel.
