My opinion of the Gunma camping trip (volume 16 and 17):
I really enjoyed it. Mostly because of the group constellation we never had before ||Ena and Nadeshiko are the goofy laid back characters and combining them wit Ema, a quiet but responsible person with a huge imagination, was super fun. It was also good to see this trip from Emas perspective. We get a lot of thoughts of her and how everything she experienced effects her, leading to the satisfying ending that camping is great after all although she didn't get it at the beginning of her character introduction. In addition Gunma as the location was maybe my favorite area, at least it's up there. Some really fascinating sceneries, especially the lake at the end and the train museum midway through were super fun to see. And the food obviously, so good
All in all I'm a big fan of this trip. The bike trip before lacked a bit with their scenery tbh but this time it handled the sceneries and character arc (of Ema this time) equally well

Nadeshiko, Ena, and new OEC member Ema continue their Golden Week camping trip in the Gunma area stopping at one place and then making their way to Lake Nozori.
I feel like Japan's tourism board should sponsor this series. I think it is the primary way I get ideas of places in Japan I might like to visit in the future. :) Afro's artwork is stunning. The camping food prep is likely to make you hungry unless you strategically time when you read this. I feel like there's more food prep than usual in this one as Ema gets introduced to camp cooking. The inner flap comics in this volume about the pace of life in the manga vs the real world are pretty funny too. Pick this up for some cozy, low drama, arm chair tourism of Japan.
Notes on content:
Language: None
Sexual content: None
Violence: None
Ethnic diversity: The girls are all Japanese.
LGBTQ+ content: None specified.
Other: Might make you hungry.

Cute girls doing cute things, which is the theme of this whole manga, continues. The first half is all about cooking, and the second is more about traveling and camping. I had less of the sense that the series is kinda over and that Afro was dragging it out, but there was a lack of real connection between the girls. It's hard when one of the three characters is new, one is more of a side character, and one's development has come to a grinding halt. I miss Rin and the OECs report with one another.

Centered around 2 of my favorites hell yeah
This was definitely less character focused especially compared to recent volumes but I didn’t mind too much. I have a feeling the next volume will be very character heavy with Rin and Aya. Also that meta bit at the end? Wtf- happy ten years!!
(Also I was lowkey invested in the conversation between those two guys in Ema’s dream…)

Still in Gunma from the previous volume, the girls are enjoying their camping excursion along with everything that it brings- good company, good food, and a hot bath. Love the little celebrations and happiness in the series.

3.5 stars, rounded up because I love the series. This volume felt more like a travel guide to Gunma than a story about Nadeshiko and Co., but I still enjoyed it.

5/5 stars
This will be a spoiler free review. Onto the review!
This is a super cozy and chill manga about camping. These high school students have a little camping club at school, and then they eventually start to grow their camping club, while also saving up to buy better gear and go on longer trips.
As with this mangaka’s other newer series, I have no clue how to tell these characters apart, because it’s not in color. The defining feature of a character will be pink hair, but aside from the cover, the manga is in black and white. At least two of them have motorcycles that are quite distinct. So that’s a plus.
If you like camping or are interested in learning what you would need to know in order to go camping, I think you would like this manga. Also, this manga will likely make you hungry. They cook a lot of really tasty looking food over the fire (or bunsen burner) while camping.
There really is no overarching plot. It’s just everyone trying to decide where to go camping and then once they get there, cooking really delicious looking food. I often made the mistake of reading this at the library when I had an evening shift and would be getting home late and I was very hungry afterwards. Don’t do that. Read this after you’ve eaten so it doesn’t make you drool over the food.
Have a nice day/night everyone!
