Great to see lots of new faces, welcome!
Yes - I believe this is a great manga to start as your first one (it was the first manga I got into myself!)
No matter what you read, the start can be tough, so definitely take a look at this resource
The great thing is, persistence pays off quickly. Here is what I think makes this manga great to start with:
- Short sentences using everyday vocabulary
- Short episodes: reading just a panel or a page a day, you will make progress in the story
- Episodic: you get used to what to expect in terms of the general arc
- But still some surprises to keep it fun
- The art can help you to guess unknown words
- Level 16-17 (Natively): about as easy as you can get for native content with a good story
- Reading with the club means you can ask questions and get answers based on exactly what you’re having trouble with. We’ve all been there - ask away!
In the wise words of Akashelia looking back on books read by WK level 60:
133 manga, 5 novels, 1 VN all in Japanese, read
How did I do it? One sentence at a time
So please join in! I see we have a great mix of people reading their first manga ever, or their second, and a good number of more experienced readers planning to take part. This means you won’t be alone in asking about the basics, you’ll get a good level of support, and you’ll meet some friendly folks that you’ll see around in other clubs as you continue your journey learning Japanese
