Original title: 今、ワニカニのレベル１０ですよ。何か本を僕は読むのできますか？
I had to switch the post title to English because of this:
こんにちは、みなさん！
Genkiを終わりました。たくさんアニメを見ていますよ。
本はおすすめがありますか？
さきに、ありがとう。

Hello! My output in Japanese is not very good so I’m just going to reply to you in English! But I’m impressed that you wrote your question in Japanese.
For sure you can, since you are asking 
I would recommend joining the Absolute Beginning Book Club here on the forum or read one of their previous picks. Here’s a great guide on how to read your first book and what to expect:

Yeah the ABBC is great, especially the vocab sheets. I recently started reading Happiness, a manga about high schoolers becoming vampires lol. Haven’t had to consult the ABBC thread for it too much, but it’s very helpful when needed! Managed to read around 50 pages over a couple of days.
By lvl.10 you can read around half of the top 500 most common kanji, so yeah good luck with reading!

It was the first manga I read as well 
really enjoyed it, not a lot of text which is a huge confidence boost when you can read several pages in one sitting haha. And the series is complete after 10 volumes so it feels doable! 10/10 can recommend

The recommendations you’ve gotten so far are great but I want to point out that there’s also the bruteforce approach (which I personally favour): pick something you actually really want to read and power through it with constant lookups for vocab, kanji and grammar.
It’s exhausting at first because you take forever to read only a few sentences, but personally I generally find it more satisfying than reading beginner content that I may not care about very much. I also find it motivating to look up unknown kanji on wanikani and unknown grammar/vocab on other SRS systems if you use them to get a feel of how far I am for learning those. “Oh this kanji is WK level 23 and this grammar point is Bunpro N4” etc… It motivates me to keep pushing on my lessons and reviews to reach those goals.
Again, I know that many people absolutely hate reading like that, so I’m not pretending that this is the right or best way to do it, but I just want to point out that it’s a possibility if you want to give it a try.

お！ありがとうございます 
Even when you have learnt kanji on wanikani you may forget them when you come across it in books so at some point you will want to use online kanji dictionaries such as jisho.org to look up kanji (and grammar). Its slow going at first but the more you do it the quicker you will be at doing it. This means you will be able to read anything you like without being limited to just books containing the kanji you know. I am currently reading the first book of Harry Potter using jisho.org and DeepL translator.

If your grammar is solid but you’re still shaky on kanji, you could try a book in the 角川つばさ文庫 （かどかわつばさぶんこ）series. They are full-length books printed in a slightly larger-than-standard font and with furigana. The titles are mostly middle grade/young adult fare, but I found them to be fun and really entertaining as a “first step” into long-form Japanese reading practice.
If you’re looking for more of a challenge/something without furigana that still won’t be super overwhelming, there is a children’s series called 5分後に意外な結末（ごふんごにいがいなけつまつ）where each volume contains a selection of short stories of about 5-15 pages each. Since the stories are so short, you can really dig into vocabulary lookups and sentence deconstruction while still feeling like you’re making progress (even if you only have the capacity to read one page a day). The stories are fun and interesting, too.
