No, they read like light novel titles. Lately, light novels have been getting adapted into anime about as much as manga. Manga-first and anime-first works will have much shorter titles. This is due to there being absurd levels of competition in the light novel space for the last seven or eight (I think) years, so authors need to use titles that double as a short blurb; there are so many books coming out each month that potential readers don’t have time to read the full blurbs for even a fraction of the books, so you need a very descriptive title to hook potential readers.
