If you haven't yet reached a solid intermediate level and/or if you've never read manga in Japanese before, they're probably all 'hard'. Though of course that depends in many factors, including how much you want to understand.

Yotsubato! is often recommended as a first manga; it's one of the very few that can truly be called entry level. It's not exactly in the genre you mentioned but it's the type of manga that almost everyone seems to like. Perhaps a nice starting point, I think it's very suitable as a 'bridge' to higher level material.

By the way, there's a pretty easy way to find out whether a manga you're interested in matches your level before you buy it: just download a scan of the first volume (google 'rawscans') and judge whether the dialogue looks doable.

Also check out this thread, plenty of recommendations with descriptions and difficulty ratings.

Maybe this exists already but, has anyone thought about making a vocab/grammer deck specifically for a particular chapter/volume of manga, in a similar way to how subs2srs decks work for drama/anime?

Bridging the gap between knowing a lot of vocab/grammer and actually reading the easiest manga seems like quite the challenge.

they're all going to be hard at first. So just stick with something that you are able to enjoy. This will probably be something with a relatively easy plot line that can be understood without having to look up every word. Focus on understanding and enjoying the overall gist and keeping an enjoyable pace rather than each sentence/frame/page. Long shounen series with a lot of early early established recurring vocabulary is probably a pretty starting point. It will become easier once you've learned the main story related nouns and names and once you've learned which/how pronouns are used to refer to different characters.
