I’m just starting out, wondering if there’s any good beginner books to buy to practice for low level context and such, or if it’s doenst exactly matter what one i get. any help is greatly appreciated!
These are all available for free, just work your way through level 0.
[Here](https://morg.systems/e50a5ae3) are my **personal** recommendations. I think the best for you is going to be something you really want to read, since stuff that is engaging will keep you reading for longer even if it’s a bit harder (of course there’s a limit). My personal absolute favorite as starter manga which is relatively simple, uses a lot of everyday phrasing/somewhat realistic Japanese, and also is incredibly cute/interesting is the manga [ルリドラゴン](https://www.cmoa.jp/title/252723/). It has replaced Yotsuba as my number 1 recommendation.
Anyway, just try a few things and see what clicks with you personally. There’s a lot of free and/or easily accessible (legally) manga online, so it’s good to try things and experiment.
There’s a manga called Chi’s Sweet Home. I have them in Japanese and think it would probably be pretty easy for a beginner, plus it’s about a cute cat.

I think yotsuba is what people recommend.
There is also [https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/o7x7ha/2021_updated_free_tadoku_graded_reader_pdfs_1796/](https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/o7x7ha/2021_updated_free_tadoku_graded_reader_pdfs_1796/)
