Is it a bad idea to attempt to start learning Mandarin while I’m already in the middle of learning Japanese?

I apologize if this question isn't inherently about learning Japanese haha. My instinct tells me trying to learn Mandarin at the same time would just confuse me because of the shared characters/Kanji, but maybe it's easier than I imagined? I know that structurally they're vastly different even though they share characters. Has anyone done this?
