This is a great beginner manga and worked wonderfully as a first manga for me - it has furigana, relatively standard language (no sentence DeepL couldn't translate) and lots of contextual images.

Very charming
An excellent manga for beginners. No real plot to speak of, just a number of slice-of-life snippets. It has some space and maritime-related terminology but the sentences themselves are mostly short and straightforward, so parsing them is not a problem.
