So that was officially my first manga I read cover to cover, and it was both a heck of a lot easier, and a heck of a lot more enjoyable than I expected! It turns out that my local library has the whole series, and I just put a hold on volume 1. Does anyone has any recs for other manga at about that level?
It looks like my Japanese is now good enough that I ask google the question in Japanese and read the results.
I asked: 外国人ために簡単な漫画
and got: http://oshiete.goo.ne.jp/qa/4298666.html
Just this simple interaction with google is a huge milestone for me. I remember last year about this time, the day after the N4 in Tokyo, I was trying to use Japanese google to find fun things to do in the neighborhood where I was staying. I couldn't phrase questions well, let alone understand the answers. It was incredibly frustrating. A year later here I am asking google, in Japanese, for Japanese language book recommendations and am able to understand the answer!
