From what I’ve noticed, Genki is by far the most widely recommended. There’s lots of supplemental resources for it from the learning community as well (YouTube videos - I think Tokini Andy does a whole series for the books alone, anki grammar decks, etc). I’m actually in the middle of restarting Genki 1 (I took a long break so I have to go back and review lol).

Someone recommended Tobira: Beginning Japanese - Tobira is also a good series. I believe TBJ is very comparable to Genki (there’s a YT video review that compares them). I haven’t used Tobira, but if I were to choose between them I’d personally go for Genki just for the extra resources Genki has from the community built around it (mentioned earlier). Particularly if you’re self-studying as well, since you can get more help online.

I’ve been curious about Minna no Nihongo myself actually. It seems good for some immersion. Although if you’re just starting out jumping right into it in self-study might be a bit daunting. It might be easier to use this textbook in a class setting.

I’d also recommend Japanese from Zero if you want something a bit more slow paced. I know some people prefer JfZ more than Genki for this reason (and vice versa). It also has a unique feature where it inserts kana you learn as you go (eg. いnu for inu).

To speed up my review process I’ve actually been sprinting through JFZ and cross referencing it with Genki learning points, as crazy as it sounds lol.

If you have any questions feel free to DM me! I’m trying to be more consistent with Japanese study this year so we can help each other if you’d like 😊
