I started looking around at the internet the other day, because I wanted to find some kind of readings in Japanese that corresponded to my current level.
Since I by no means am an expert, I needed something fairly simple where the kanji had some furigana to help me along the way.
Took a look around some discussion boards and found this manga.
Yotsuba&! should be a fairly easy read as fair as I could see, so I thought "Why not?" and got the manga. I've only read five pages so far since I'm translating every page into English and double checks just to be sure I got it right.
Even though it is a part of practising my Japanese, it is also a relief to read something that I can actually more or less (with some help from mr. Google Translate and a dicitonary) understand while it is actually geared towards a Japanese audience.
I can't comment on the actual story yet since I've just started, but the level of Japanese seems to be comprehendible for someone like me who is a bit below JLPT4 still.
