Minna no Nihongo series (N5-N2?)
In that sense, Genki is more adapted to beginners who want to self-study while Minna no Nihongo is more immersive from the start and requires more from the learners. We recommend Genki if you're planning to self-study, but Minna No Nihongo is a more thorough book and works well in a classroom setting.
Minna no Nihongo VS Genki: which Japanese language textbooks should I choose?
Japanese From Zero! book series (N5-?)
Nakama series (N5-N3?)

(Thanks to Chung for his (her?) beautifully formatted Hungarian Resources page, which I took much inspiration from).
