Japanese literature recommendations

  • December 19, 2025

Hi everyone I am learning japanese for 2 years now. I want to get recommendations for any literature books for reading practice. I don't want jlpt focused books but more like story/novel books. Also easy level n3~n2.

Can everyone recommend some? Any and all literature books or authors you have read?

  2. また、同じ夢を見ていた is an interesting book that is relatively easy to read at your level

  3. Here are my recommendations:

    * スタープレイヤー
    * ヘブンメイカー (sequel to スタープレイヤー)
    * 滅びの園
    * 雷の季節の終わりに
    * 夜市
    * 箱庭の巡礼者たち
    * 秋の牢獄
    * 竜が最後に帰る場所
    * 十二国記
    * 獣の奏者
    * 煌夜祭
    * 銀河英雄伝説 (sci-fi)
    * 西の善き魔女
    * かくりよの宿飯

    I don’t know if they can be considered easy reading though

  4. 限りなく透明に近いブルー if you like a more edgy style of writing influenced by the “beats”

    ハードボイルド/ハードラック I found quite readable and enjoyable at about that level, kind of magical realism, and not very long
