4 Easy manhuas for advanced beginners (hsk3) - Cchatty

4 Easy manhuas for advanced beginners (hsk3) and intermediate (hsk4) learners!

Reading native content as a Chinese learner is no easy task, you may feel that you need to know a huge amount of vocabulary just to read a simple paragraph in a novel or in a newspaper. But worry not, there are other easier alternatives to improve your reading skills!

Due to its simplistic story lines and art style, manhua( 漫画) is a great option for Chinese learners to improve their reading and acquire new vocabulary.
That's why, today I've chosen 4 easy Chinese manhuas that are doable for hsk3 and hsk4 learners.
These 4 manhuas that I chose are all set in modern times and their genres are slice of life, comedy and romance, so as to keep the vocabulary as simple as possible (since fantasy manhuas tend to use lots of uncommon words). You should be able to read them with the help of a dictionary.

1. 暗恋 (level: HSK3) (44+ chapters)
Tells the story of two highschool students that secretly like each other. The language is extremely simple and the dialogues are short. If you've never read any manhuas before and if you are afraid of native content, this manhua is perfect for you.

2.南号尚风 (level: HSK3) (100+ chapters)
It's about two highschool friends and their comedic day to day life. The vocabulary is slightly more difficult than the first manhua, but it's still pretty simple and doable for someone at hsk level 3(600~ words)

3.我家老婆来自一千年前 (level: HSK4) (120+ chapters)
Despite the misleading title, this manhua is a slice of life romantic comedy. The dialogues sometimes can be a bit long but they are not difficult for someone at hsk level 4. One good thing about this manhua is that it explains a lot about Chinese culture (since the female lead came from the past, the male lead have to explain everything to her, and thus this manhua explains lots of common Chinese customs and traditions).

4.我的姐姐是大明星 (level: HSK4) (185+ chapters)
It's about a guy who helps his stepsister become a famous star. This is the most difficult manhua in this list, you should have a solid HSK4+ level to read this one, since the dialogues at times can be pretty long, but with the help of a dictionary it's pretty doable. If you've read the other manhuas from this list, reading this one will not be difficult. One good thing about this one is that it has a lot of chapters, so you can learn tons of vocab.

After reading this 4 manhuas you should be prepared to read more difficult manhuas, and maybe even delve into fantasy manhuas, for example cultivation ones, which are extremely popular. I hope you like this post, don't forget to leave a like if it was useful and I wish you an enjoyable reading time if you choose to read these manhuas!
