What are some good, easier Japanese books?

Hey everyone!

I desperately need to learn more words and I figured a good way to do it would be by reading some books or other literature and picking them up from context. I’ve already downloaded or bought a few, for example I’ve got some Natsume Souseki short stories, but they’re still a bit above my level and I can’t read them without looking up kanji pretty often.

So, what are some of your favorite Japanese stories to read?? Preferably ones around a middle school reading level or so?

ありがとうございます!

Edit: 練習として、日本語にも訳します。

(こういう状況では、~ます体か、~だ体か?)

私は、単語をもっと習うことが必要です。それで、日本語の本や他の文学を読めばいいだろうと思っています。夏目漱石とかのをもう見つけたけど、その物はまだレベルが少し高くて、漢字をググらずに読めません。

ということで、皆の好きな日本語の物語は何でしょうか。中学生のレベルぐらいのがいいでしょう。

  1. I found kids books of Gimbli anime, all writing is in hiragana.

    Its great because Ive seen the movies and essentially know the story line, so it makes reading them easier.

  2. i found the kinos journey light novels to be perfect for me. id say you can start reading them at N3 level and above. at first there might be some new words like 城壁 or 審査 might be new, but repeat a lot throughout the stories.
