Hi morninghues! Welcome to Wanikani 😀

I always like seeing the different reading material that different people choose; it’s interesting to see the variety 🙂

> My question is, about what WK level do you think I’d have to be to understand most of the book? (“most” being a very subjective term, obviously, but I’m just looking for a ballpark - would 30 be okay or would I have to be all the way up near 60?)

30 should be pretty good, as far as kanji goes. I’m at level 29 right now and can at least recognize most of the kanji on that page that don’t have furigana.

However, when I’m reading things (other than NHK easy news), I usually find that grammar and vocab are the limiting factors. The WK vocab is good for reinforcing the kanji readings, but there is a LOT of essential vocab that isn’t included. I like Tae Kim’s guide for looking up grammar, but sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what exactly to look up, if it’s a totally new grammar point. Maybe since you’re working through the entire guide, it will work better for you? Anyway, good luck!

Also, the [Short Grammar Questions thread](https://community.wanikani.com/t/short-grammar-questions/18002) is a great place to ask for help if there’s a phrase or sentence that you’re having trouble with.

がんばって！
