There are lots books. There is a book called the Bible. It is a book found in hotels. Fun fact: you are encouraged to take the book if you want to read it further.

If you want more specific recommendations, you need to be more specific.

Sorry, don't know the anime.

I want something light, comfy. Adventureus, but not chosen-one-has-to-save-the-world. Low commitment story. Maybe some mystery. Interesting places and concepts.

I'd say Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. It's not hard, it's pretty comfy and light. Theoretically it's a philosophical book but there are comfy adventures, easy to follow plot, nice structures, easy to follow prose and writing. And filled with philosophical concepts, mostly in dialogues. But really fun to read, it's great for any beginning /lit/fags.
Seriously, I read it a few years ago and it got me into literature.

This. Hegel is pretty much entry level German Idealism. Which, to make a little joke, means that it is "ideal" for beginners. There's a strong through line in the plot and the ending is just wow.
