Perfect for beginners

  • Full furigana
  • Low text density
  • Simple grammar
  • Daily life frequent vocabulary
  • Standard speaking style (no one is talking in full hiragana, or with weird speaking quirks or a dialect*)
  • Engaging story
  • Does not happen in a school setting

When people ask me for suggestions for their very first manga in Japanese, レンタルおにいちゃん is my №1 recommendation.

*: A character speaking in Kansai-ben is introduced in volume 2
