This volume feels a lot more polished than the last. The 4-panel structure feels more natural and the characters become more fleshed out. Best of all, we get to see some fun adventures with the whole cast of characters, from making pasta to downhill skateboarding to dealing with a ghost!

This one is definitely starting to get into the relaxed vibe of Laid Back Camp. Here’s hoping it continues to improve in later volumes!

My thoughts on this volume are largely the same as the first. However, this one is probably a little better, because they spend a bit more time appreciating their destinations, and their adventures aren't so dependent on just Haruno.

Also, it's just as funny as the first. I like the part where they cry after watching a documentary about a dam. Sorry if that's cruel.

But why didn't they solve that "ghost" problem mentioned in the first chapter? For all we know, they're still being haunted.
