Great Resource for Beginners

One of my favorite aspects of graded readers is that they use restricted vocabulary and kanji. If you are just starting out in reading Japanese books formatted in a Japanese style, these are a great place to start.

Definitely recommend this series.

A drawback is that they’re a bit expensive if

I read them because I bought them but honestly they’re boring…I much prefer reading through real books then graded readers so I might be biased. The language is appropriate for the level and really simple.

5 little books of around 20 pages each. Each page with a couple of sentences. Better quality stories than the free pdf's. On the expensive side but will always be the first (physical) Japanese books than I've successfully read (not bought!) - so will always treasure them.
