I think I count manga and anime and even light novels separately because to me they're a separate medium, or at least seem to be one in Japan. The Japanese media statistics site Oricon, for instance, keeps bestseller lists for manga and light novels separate from other fiction. It leads to some peculiar mental divides, though -- the Toshokan Sensou light novels aren't 'fiction' to me, but my Japanese-language copy of Wagahai wa Neko de Aru is.

I have stalled out on my reading list at the moment for the stupid reason that most of my yet-to-be-read books are rather difficult to take on public transport. I may have to rectify this when I'm travelling this weekend.
