Hirakana Wrote:I disagree with the ratings for Yotsubato and One Piece. I have a volume of both, and as a beginner in Japanese, I can tell you, One Piece is impossible to read for me at this level, partly because of the slang, more obscure vocabulary and general all around difficulty.
Yotsubato is the only manga I can read without reaching for a dictionary every two seconds, not because I can understand everything but because of the more everyday vocabulary and the easy to follow stories.
I suggest moving Yotsubato from ** to * and moving One Piece from ** to ***

There is a big difference between what you think you understand as "easy to follow" and what you really understand. Take the first chapter of よつばと！, remove the illustrations, and see how well you can follow what is going on in the discussion between, for instance, 風か and 小岩井. I don't mean to sound rude, but a lot of readers, when they read 漫画 in particular, gleam a lot of "comprehension" from the imagery and fail to understand a lot of the nuance beyond that. Which, considering these are works of fiction written by natives, for natives, is fair to expect.
