ふらいんぐうぃっち Vol. 10 🧹

Hello, and welcome.

This manga has furigana (meaning that all kanji in it have their corresponding readings in kana), which means that your kanji knowledge is not really a major factor in reading.

If have little experience reading native japanese material, your biggest hurdles are going to be grammar and vocabulary. This book club started reading this manga as part of the beginner book club, where the suggested level of grammar is between N4 and N3. We have a google spreadsheet to help with the vocabulary part, though it’s mostly filled for the earlier volumes, last time I checked.

If you are unsure whether this might be on your level or not, you can check this post which has a few sample pages, which can give you a general idea of its difficulty:

If you have never read japanese material before at all, or your grammar level is low, my suggestion is to give a try to books in the Absolute Beginner’s book club, where easier material is read. Here you can see a list of all the books that were read (and also the ones currently being read) in that book club:

My suggestion is to check the books that were read in the absolute beginner section, and pick something that catches your interest, then try reading that by following the thread for that book, which contains questions and answers everyone made when the book was read. Even if it is a book that was read a long time ago, you can still ask new questions in those threads, people generally still keep an eye on them and are happy to help out.
