Thank you very much
Honestly, as long as it is basically the same, I prefer the cartoonish style. it's given me more original filing.

<p>I've always thought there is only 1 type of light novel for this series (which is translated to other languages).<br>
But I saw on <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/0759531048" rel="nofollow">Amazon</a> that they are offering to sell 3 types of the same light novel. </p>

<p>You can see that below the title section, where it says "See all 3 formats and editions". After that, you need to press the arrow on the left side to see all the 3 novels.</p>

<p>I'm wondering what are the differences between them.</p>
