Laid-Back Camp, Vol. 7

One member of the school camping club decides to do her first solo camping trip, and it is sooooooooo boooooooring. A little traveling, a little touring, a little camping, a little cooking. Everything about this is little. It's even a little cute that her friend and sister worry about her so much, but I was sooooooooo booooooored I really couldn't care.
I have another volume on hand, and though I probably shouldn't, I will read it anyway.

This entire series - including the latest instalment here - is an amazingly compelling argument for getting a tent and camping, any time, any place. Just read this and then grab a tent :)

I look forward to the day I find an anime / manga that I enjoy more than Laid-Back Camp.

All of the food in these books looks so tasty, I want to try making it myself! The scenic views are awesome too.

The title still so clearly defines exactly what the book is all about! It is a beautifully drawn series which continues to stay focused on the exact theme it promised us as the readers! Eating and camping. Definitely a laid-back volume! I hope that my 3 stars does not deter anyone…it is hard to rank it up at 4 stars even when enjoyable. I will say this is a progressive story, but the chapters and volumes definitely have a melting together feel. If I were to go back, it is hard for me to pinpoint a chapter or book I enjoyed more than another. That is not a bad thing, but I think it also forces me to feel that almost all volumes are 3 -star volumes. But you can get lost in the laid-back world…and if you are a fan of reading, you should.

Laid-Back Camp is like the comfort food of manga. Warm and easy going with just the right amount of ridiculousness. Plus I'm totally into manga that have food/recipes in them of which Laid-Back Camp is a great example.
In this volume Nadeshiko goes solo camping, or does she? Ha with both Rin and Sakura worried about her she is never too far from someone who cares about her.
This volume is really all about Nadeshiko, Sakura, and Rin. The other members of the OEC and their Sensei don't make too many appearances, but it sounds like the next volume is going to be another big group trip. So bring on Izu.

Nadeshiko attempts her first solo camping trip. She's gotten advice from the master (Rin) and has done her research. She's ready. But that doesn't stop certain people from worrying.
In other news, the OEC starts planning their next group camping trip.
Aaah!! It's not fair! There aren't any campsites in my area where you can just hop a bus/train and walk the rest of the way. Not to mention, we have black bears so having any type of food (even locked in a car) could be problematic. Definitely no solo camping for me unless it's in my backyard... and with a large dog for protection. (RIP Scooby)

Solo camping is no joke and people are always going to be worried about you when you're gone. Are you prepared enough with gear? Do you have things to entertain yourself? What food are you eating? Where are you going and how are you getting there?
All of these questions are explored in each of this fantastically fun camping manga series featuring a group of girls. They're purchasing their equipment, prepping their meals, and enjoying sauna baths and alone time. Self-care to the max.
And is this the one where it's "beware of tents losing potatoes"? Because I loved the humorous interpretation of the sign when it's "rocks falling".
Remains a new favorite- balm for the soul.

I like how Rin and Nadeshiko inspire each other to enjoy new ways of camping. First it was Rin who learned that camping together can be fun as well and now Nadeshiko is learning Rins way of camping by traveling alone. In addition we see how much Nadeshiko is growing. At the start of Yuru Camp she was depending on others. She was inexperienced and always with somebody else. That's why Rin and Sakura worried about her at first. But now Nadeshiko tackles her new challenge successfully with her gained knowledge and finally understands what makes solo camping so special for Rin and now for herself too.

Nadeshinko is trying solo camping for the first time, but she has some people worried about her who are secretly keeping an eye on her (her big sister and Rin).
It is kind of humorous and cute how the others are worried about outgoing and somewhat impetuous Nadeshinko (I agreed with them, though). Another fun little winter camping story.
Notes on content: Just 1 or 2 minor swears. No sex scenes. There's a hot springs scene where mostly everything is covered by froth but I would've preferred a tad more covered. No violence.

DAAMN I love this series! And the art is too adorable as well...
Nadeshiko's gonna try and take a trip on her own. She succeeds though she meets some folks. I laughed at the sister AND Rin checking up on her.

Nadeshiko's first solo camp and it's so fun, I adore nadeshiko and Rin what a bestfriend she's so worry for Nadeshiko. Great friendship, fun camping, lots of easy delicious camping grub.
Overall it's another relaxing fun outdoorsy read.

Nadeshiko tries her hand at solo camping and the girls plans their next group camp. This was overall really sweet and chill, but I have to remove a star because of the trauma induced by the bear paw curry chapter.

Nadeshiko decides to go camping on her own, and somehow it's pretty interesting and funny. If in the last volume we didn't see much about Nadeshiko and Rin, this volume compensates it!

Apparently forgot to log this one, oops. This happens occasionally, I fear.
Laid-Back Camp Review
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!
