There's a fair bit of higher level vocabulary, but the sentences are quite easy for the most part. I found that the second half went by significantly faster than the first. The story is very relaxed, but the humorous characters kept me turning the pages. There's also not much slang so it's not too difficult to figure out what to look up.

Sometimes a tanuki is just a mongrel dog
I really enjoyed this series. It's about a tanuki (raccoon dog) who gets picked up by a lady, with comfy slice of life vibes. But it also explores the challenges of being an author on the side.
There's no furigana but the difficulty is normal to easy. Tricky parts may be the one-off weather report, and one of the characters is half-German so sometimes her speech is in katakana and the like. But both of these things doesn't affect being able to understand the volumes on the whole. The tanuki also uses pen and paper to communicate which is often in just hiragana.
The art is good too. Check it out!

Charming slice of life, very accessible to beginners
Artwork is beautiful, some dialogue but not overwhelming. Wholesome characters. Some vet scenes require some translation.
