In a similar vein as our last “education through entertainment” title, Laid-Back Camp, is Encouragement of Climb (Yama no Susume), another cute-girls-doing-cute-things series, this time about mountain climbing.

As with Laid-Back Camp, Encouragement of Climb features real-world locations, gear, and conditions as pertaining to hiking (such as keeping fed on the trail, and dealing with altitude sickness). The learning imparted by the series is limited to Japanese geography and information about hiking, however Encouragement of Climb features such accuracy and passion about the topic as to land the series squarely in the “educational” category. A successful manga series, it has been adapted into multiple anime seasons as well.
