The Shakugan no Shana series is another light novel that sold for more than 6 million copies. Illustrated by the famous Illustrator Noizi Ito, it is one of the most famous Japanese light novel. Just like the Suzumiya Haruhi series, the novel itself has been transferred to anime, manga and games, too. The story is about the battle and relationship between the 'Flame Haze' and 'Denizens of the Crimson Realm'. The most interesting part of the story is the spin - off, which include a lot funny scenes and dialogs.

I like this story because it is not too complicated to read. This book is good for those who want to relax and have a good time for reading after meals. This tyoe of book is known as 'light novel'. I love the parts that the Flame Haze Shana, fights for the against the evil Denizens who break the world's balance. Just like the Suzumiya Haruhi series, this story also shows a certain level of imagination.
