Some notes for using/improving it: - **Some words might have been recognized or parsed incorrectly** , e.g. they are split even though they belong together, or they are simply wrong and aren’t even in the manga. Feel free to correct/remove those if you see them! - **Words might be missing.** Feel free to add them! - By default, **translations in grey are auto-filled with a list of possible meanings** (from a Wiktionary database). If you know the specific meaning in this context, feel free to fill it in!

Really starting to feel comfortable reading this manga now, I absolutely blasted through the reading this week. Only had too look up a few new words: 修行 and 翌日 I am considering starting the next Beginner book club as well as Absolute beginners book club after this one ends to give myself a bit more of a challenge! Hopefully I am not just getting misled by how easy I am finding this though ---

> [@J0skin](#): > > Hopefully I am not just getting misled by how easy I am finding this though For what it’s worth, this series is the easiest manga I’ve encountered to date. The jump from ABBC to BBC is three-fold: 1. You encounter a larger variety of vocabulary words. 2. You encounter more difficult grammar. 3. The number of pages goes up. It’s never a bad idea to try a more challenging read. The worst that can happen is you can’t match the BBC pace, so you either go slower or set the volume aside until you have more reading practice and experience. One series I can recommend if you find you’d like an in-between to get from our current ABBC read to BBC is 「[レンタルおにいちゃん](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/46949)」. The series has a story which instantly makes it a bit more difficult, but the difficulty also seems to steadily increase across the four volumes, making it useful to grow with. ---

Honestly the most important recommendation I’d say is to find something you’re _interested_ in. Of course if it’s too much of a struggle you’re not gonna get very far, but honestly at the beginner level it doesn’t matter _what_ you jump into, you’re gonna struggle, whether it’s a BBC or ABBC. The trick isn’t to choose a book based on difficulty, but to find something that’s good enough to keep you struggling. I jumped from やが君 straight into 極主夫道 and while it was _definitely_ hard to get used to a lack of furigana, kansai-ben, and a whole different kind of language, it was funny enough that I just kept going. Likewise I’m now reading through a manga that’s honestly a _little_ bit beyond me, especially in terms of vocab, but I like it so it’s fine. Conversely I tried to read よつばと！ when I was just about at the right level to do so and I couldn’t get through it. The little bit of trouble I had reading it was just not worth it because the story itself isn’t that interesting to me. Same with フライングウィッチ, I can read it with minimal trouble but I just don’t stay interested. Harder and interesting is going to be easier to get through than easier and uninteresting. And hey, if it turns out to be a bit too hard, you’ve got something to work towards and an easy way to gauge your progress all at the same time. ---

Yeah I did think that this is so much easier than Ruri that it is a little misleading in that regard. However I think it’s definitely a good idea to challenge myself so I will likely give it a go alongside the ABBC and see how I get on! I’ll definitely take a look into レンタルおにいちゃん, thanks for the recommendation ---
