So if you’re learning for the JLPT and want to improve your reading speed and comprehension with the Japanese Graded Readers series I’d advise you to “size up”. Even level 2 which is shown here to be challenging for JLPT4 learners should be too much on the easy side and doesn’t correlate with the preparation material I’ve seen.

Each set goes for 2300Yen + an additional 800Yen shipping (e.g. And now for the best part: It’s nearly the same price. The paper feels great, the whole set is just a real pleasure to look at. The physical edition contains 5 to 6 stories, each one in the style of a little booklet. It’s quite comfortable but so far only available for iOS users and a little pricey with 3,59€ for ONE story.
