Can I offer you a bit of ちいさな森のオオカミちゃん ・ The Wolf of the Small Forest book club! 🌳 (Absolute Beginner Book Club) in these trying times? It’s cute and it’s almost as easy as it gets for a first manga.
Ruri Dragon will still be there when you get back.
(It’ll also still be hard when you get back; you’ll learn a lot reading オオカミちゃん, but the casual/slang here will still trip you up. When it comes to that, there really is no way but pushing through.)
