As a Canadian, I was struck by how basic the camping info in vol1 was. In time, I was impressed by the tidbits of Japan-specific campsite and camp cultural knowledge. The recipes in later volumes are a real hard highlight. The characters are likeable in a generic slice of life way. The art is attractive. While the plots are non-existent, you'll want to keep reading for the well-researched tips. It's just like getting advice from a knowledgeable senpai! ( )

I swear there’s a manga for everything, even about chilling and making quirky friends at a campsite. I’ve never been camping, but I think some of the tips here will work for real. Also, the art has a cool quality with the frequent use of vertical hatch lines, very minor but I noticed. Overall, a very wholesome start to this series.

I don’t know if I’ll find myself reading volume two tho. This isn’t really capturing my interest. I found it a bit boring actually. ( )

Camping manga! ( )

The title says it all. This is a low-key story about school girls who like to go camping. Nadeshiko is an eager novice who spends fairly educational segments learning about the basics of camping from the members of her school camping club. She is also trying to start a friendship with Rin, an experienced camper who avoids the club because she prefers to camp alone. I like the portrait of a loner who is not rude or antisocial, but just honest in how she likes to appreciate nature on her own. Gentle but fun. (And totally lacking in creepy fan service, yay!) ( )
