As of writing this review, かがみの孤城 is my favorite Japanese book. It's well written, has good pacing, and has a fantastic climax and ending. In terms of difficulty, it's among the easiest Japanese books that I've read.
While かがみの孤城 has fantasy elements, more than anything it's about the characters, their relationships, and their struggles. If you enjoy light fantasy or character-driven stories, you should give this book a shot!
