This is a great beginner manga and worked wonderfully as a first manga for me - it has furigana, relatively standard language (no sentence DeepL couldn't translate) and lots of contextual images. There is quite a bit of strange vocabulary, but with the WaniKani vocabulary sheet (it has extremely good coverage), this manga was surprisingly manageable.
The story is about a girl in the future who goes to a Venice-like city on Mars (now a waterworld called Aqua) to become a gondolier. The images of the world are awesome, I really enjoyed them. I only read the print version, but the extra $$$ spent for the physical book was definitely worth it.
As for the actual narrative, it was mostly world building & slice of life which is ok with me. If you're looking for a suspenseful narrative filled with cliff hangers, then maybe you won't like it.. but i don't know, I loved it.
