This is an excellent beginner manga and I think it would be a great first manga! It has furigana and pretty straightforward language (DeepL didn't have any issues). It also starts off deceptively simple and then ramps up in difficulty, which is nice for a beginner. The WaniKani vocabulary sheet has excellent coverage too.
The story is about a little girl who's driven to rent a big brother. As you might expect, it's not a happy circumstance (poor girl has it rough!) and I won't say it's a very fun story - quite serious actually - but it's alright.
Overall, I’m definitely adding this into my mix of recommended first manga, along with ふらいんぐうぃっち and ARIA. There are still some quite tricky parts though, so don't go in expecting it to be a breeze! :)
