Next up on our tour through educational animation/comics is Laid-Back Camp (also commonly known by its Japanese name, Yuru Camp).

This manga-turned-anime falls squarely under the category of “cute girls doing cute things,” which in this case is winter camping. I personally happened to get into camping around the same time as the anime first dropped, and was impressed by the degree of detail in the series, which even included real-world product brands and designs, while the girls visit real sightseeing and camping sites in Japan.

While the “education” provided by this series is markedly less academic and more hobby-oriented, for anyone interested in camping and/or rural Japan, it’s a decent primer in both.

    I have the first 10 volumes sitting on my shelf, but I’m waiting for it to get less hot before I read them; I will want to go camping once I get into it!

    I recommend to look for the good translations. i.e. the release from “neoDESU+” has a download page that alone is very awesome, and the subs are peak quality as well.

    As for the manga there is a translation, where the translator traveled to the spots in the manga, and took fotos and attached a travelguide as TL Notes in the end of each chapter. (edit: it’s on mangadex)
