The First Manga I Read Without a Translation App

I have been self-studying Japanese for almost seven years, but I had never been able to finish an entire manga without using a translation app—until now. The story is simple and enjoyable, and the grammar isn’t too difficult. I definitely recommend this to all beginners!

Cute and fun

While I stumbled my way through a previous Wani Kani book club and learned a lot, this is the first manga I can safely say I actually read with the help of the Wani Kani book club. A very nice level of grammar and vocabulary and really cute art and stories.

I still think about the tower of animals to scare the humans and laugh.

If you're debating trying a Wani Kani book club I really recommend starting with this one.

Great introduction to native material

After finding よつばと!I decided to look for something easier and stumbled upon the WaniKani book club for this manga. I found the vocabulary and grammar easy to understand and having extra resources was massive help. The characters and their antics are also quite cute so you will stay entertained.

Super cute and a great first manga

The manga itself is super cute, but as others have said, not much is happening. But this is why it’s a great manga for first timers. The vocabulary is fairly easy — I’m on level 13 of WK and finished Genki 1 — and did not have to look up loads.

Very cute beginner's manga!

If you want to read an easy manga and like “Cute Girls Doing Cute Thing” type of stories, you’ll definitely enjoy your time with オオカミちゃん! The plot is very simple and most unknown vocabulary you’ll probably be able to guess the meaning when you look at the pictures. I was half way through Genki 1 when I picked this up, and it was about the perfect level for me!

Like any story, though, the beginning vocabulary will take a while to get, especially since Ookami-chan’s goals / work cover the sort of

extremely boring

my first ever native book. at first, i found it very fun and read for hours because i was so excited to read something native in japanese, but for me it quickly turned extremely boring when the charm wore off. nothing meaningful happens so i never was motivated to read and never did. but the art is super nice <3

i did learn a lot of new grammar points though, it's a perfect level for any beginner and will give confidence to anyone who gave up on よつばと. despite the boring story, while i was inte

It's a pretty bland and uneventful read, but I do think that there's merit in reading something relatively uneventful if you're looking for your first manga. There are just a few randomly difficult grammar points (like, N3+) but they are sparse and easy to look up. Otherwise, this is a great manga for someone who has finished Genki I, is maybe somewhat into Genki II, and is looking to dive into native material.

This is a great manga for upper beginners who have a basic grasp on grammar and want to jump into native content. The plotlines of each chapter are easy to follow and the majority of the vocab is nice and simple. I'm currently level 13 on WK and with some help from the vocab lists from the WK absolute beginner bookclub, I felt this was quite an easy read. My main critique is that the story itself was a little dull so I sometimes had to force myself to keep reading, but it was worth it for how m

Good manga for beginners. It was easy to understand what's going on even without looking up unknown vocabulary. It also helped that the chapters are self-containing. I was around level 10 on wanikani while reading this but you could pick it up earlier.

For the "story": It was cute and that's it. I had to force myself to finish it tbh (⌒_⌒;) Still, I would recommend it for the learning experience!

Cute and relaxing

I loved reading this manga. Each chapter is about what this wolf gets up to with her friends in the forest that day. I can imagine this is in the genre of "healing" manga that are just relaxing to read. That means if you really want story development, though, you won't find it here.

I picked this up on a whim to join the WK book club even though I had started more difficult books and manga. I'm glad I did! I wasn't previously a manga enthusiast, but this helped me to see that the art work can b

It's not especially deep and it doesn't really have a plot, but it is very cute and very easy to read.

Full furigana, simple words and grammar, no casual language, no baby talk, and only one (rarely appearing) character that has speaking style that is a little bit harder - this is my recommendation for a first manga. There's a WK book club too if you have any questions!

cute, easy read

I would recommend this book to everyone wanting to read their first manga in Japanese or needing to change their Japanese reading up with something easy they can just brush through. It's awfully cute and the language is very easy to understand.

I would not recommend this to someone who has read a lot of native material before (and doesn't need a sweetness overload) because if it wasn't for the language part, I probably would have been bored by this manga very much
