  We report on the first Belle II measurements of branching fractions and
CP-violating charge asymmetries in charmless $B$ decays. We use 34.6 fb$^{-1}$
from electron-positron collisions collected in 2019 and 2020 at the
$\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. The results are compatible with known values and show
performance already comparable with Belle.
