From Afro's Manga to Four Anime Seasons
Laid-Back Camp adapts the manga Yuru Camp, written and illustrated by Afro. The series originally ran in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Forward magazine before moving to the digital platform COMIC FUZ, where it remains ongoing. The story follows a group of students discovering the joys of camping, travelling and outdoor activities, particularly around Mount Fuji. The anime adaptation began in January 2018 with a first season produced by C-Station. The second season followed in January 2021, and the third premiered in April 2024. The franchise also includes the short anime Room Camp and a theatrical film. The fourth season therefore continues an adaptation that has already reached three television installments.
