On my perspective: I am fluent in Japanese, I work as a translator and occasional give lessons in Japanese. This Manga came up when browsing easy beginners material and ended up as lesson material.
Now to the review.
The strongest quality here is its accessibility for readers that are more at the beginner level. A combination of readability (font size is big, people can read this on whatever devices they wish to) and the convenient use of Furigana for pretty much every Kanji means there are n
