That was cute and quite relaxing (Iyashikei)! But also made me wanna go camping. Haven't been camping since I was 12 or sth!! :0
I imagined the story a bit differently – like, episodic adventures with them both camping together. And while it is "episodic adventures" theme, they don't actually camp each chapter. You'd think Rin is the protagonist (right girl on the cover), and while she is, there's much more from Nadeshiko's POV (left girl on the cover). Understandable, since Rin is a pro at camping, while Nadeshiko basically learns with the reader.
Although it's not exactly like I imagined it, it's still worth continuing.
Rin is more of a quiet, solo type, while Nadeshiko is very energetic. They're like hot and cold and the story is like a ping pong game between the two. But mostly slow-paced. (Which is good.)
I love all the info the reader gets. Not only about equipment, but also about all the locations they're visiting.
If you want to go camping yourself, this manga would be the best to take with. Because:
- camping info, in case you forgot or have no connection/battery
- book to read when you're bored
2 in 1.
The artstyle is like a mix of chibi and normal "manga realism" style. Really cute!
I also love how supportive Nadeshiko's sister is of her new hobby. My relatives could never :'3
It's also really cute how Nadeshiko and Rin stay in contact and update each other's adventures. Oh, and: finally some real portrayal of messaging between friends. XD
Anyways, I'll go read Volume 2 now~
