Funny how Gen always remembers his past, no matter where he is and it comes back with solo camping.

Shizuku looked great this episode imo. She had a special outfit this time with a colorful look outdoors. I know it's not much to build into the storytelling but the chemistry between them is still solid.

Shizuku is so freaking pretty in her traditional get up! This episode was all about Gen though and it’s always nice to lean what makes him tick. As someone who was best friends with my dad as well, I really relate to the void left in his life after his father died and that lost feeling he had. But dawg losing your girl because of your commitment to solo camping is CRAZY 😭 bro just leaving her in bed after fucking so he could go camping had me dying. I can’t wait to see how Kana interacts with Shizuku and Gen now that she’s back in Japan!

Well as soon as he starting thinking about that girl i knew we would see her in a future episode.
And seeing as we just saw her arriving in Japan i guess it won't be long before we see her.
Shizuku looked good in a hakama.

Shizuku looked absolutely stunning in her Hakama. Really feel for Gen for all the stuff he went through after losing his dad.

Route from this episode. From Kiyose Station to Kiyose Kanayama Green Park, which is the campsite from this episode. Even though this area looks like it's located outside of Tokyo, Kiyose is a part of Tokyo.

Wait, wait! Fan service or not fan service—I don’t know! That scene, that relationship moment! Was it really necessary? Yes, Kana looked like a great addition to the anime… but why did it appear in that way? I honestly don’t see any, any, any reason for that scene! Anyway, I took a screenshot of it below in case you’re curious.

As for the episode, it was a million times more enjoyable than the previous one. The art became acceptable, but the first part of the episode was really boring. Yes, Shizuko was absolutely beautiful, but what’s even better is that we got to know Gin, his past, his father, his friends—pretty much everything.

The episode was good, I won’t deny it… But we have to say our usual phrase: see you next week! Until then, keep smiling.

The real question now! Will you choose Kana or Shizuko? hmmm choose wisely.

Oh no! I hate how Gen is not a virgin anymore... at least on his frontal side, I'll have his rear side soon!

Anyway, I like how Gen is not rich, considering that camping is usally a rich people's hobby, but Gen's room is quite modest. He's not poor either since he also order a lot of camping equipment online. I also assume he's saving money to buy a land for his own campsite.

So he started going hard core when his Dad passed away, I kind of figured that was the trigger. But Man, that flashback of his fainting & falling into the fire!
But I hope we don't add unneeded drama here, Kana is beautiful, but NO triangles please!

Nice episode again, liked to have some Gen backstory. So that's where he got his scar from. That's tough and could've ended a lot worse.

A little bit of latent pyromania, yeah I recall that among me and my camping buddies. Even with backyard camping, the campfire was the big show.

Goddamn, I would love to have a cute woman in a hakama show up when I am cooking out. In a Yukata with fewer layers would be even better.

" ,as long as they are not too big" is not the paradigm here in Texas.
With our gas industries, a long-reach butane lighter is the go to for igniting small fires, and for large one, well, look up "pear burner".

First part of Gen backstory with his family explains his emotional isolation, solo camping, and scar. And hot damn, that affair with Kana, unremembered high school friend to drinking buddy to BJ at 18:56 to 18:57 to sex to break up in a short time space. Both her ambitions and VERY likely his stunted emotions contributing to that. Goddamn refreshing to see that story told directly, frankly, and so concisely. They could has gone a bit more into the breakup factors, but we might get more flashback next week. This episode upped the story telling for this show an entire level.

Some belong to the streets, Gen belongs to the campfireπŸ˜­πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

The Gen origin story was halfway what I had thought, but there was no way I’d have thought he have had a girlfriend. And now she’s about to meet Shiuzku.

What started off as mourning his father’s death has become an edge lord obsession with solo camping. Hopefully by the end of this year we see Shiuzku break through to him.

Lovely, Shizuku in a hakama.

We finally get to see why Gen-san has that scar on his face, which has been so distracting since episode 01, at least to me. I was wondering what happened there.

And... Who's that girl? Is it now, Solo Camping for three?

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

Was a good episode.
I don't even know how you pass out headfirst into a campfire and stay unconscious. That was an interesting explanation for Gen's scar. He really owes that campsite owner a lot. It was nice to find out that Gen has a dream of owning his own campsite own day. That fits well.

Kana is going to be an interesting character. The introduction of an ex-girlfriend is somewhat unexpected, given his social skills. Obviously, she's attractive. Going to see what kind of problems she's going to cause for Gen-Shiuzku going forward.

While this episode explained how Gen got his scar I was still surprised that he passed out on top of the campfire, figured the pain would've woken him up. Also, apparently he had a girlfriend before and I noticed that she was not happy that he did not invite her to go camping with him, I can only imagine the potential fireworks when/if she finds out that another girl is camping with him, younger too...

Hakamas are just the best... not only the female ver, the male ver are also rly cool too!!! (see Chihayafuru for references)

Finally some semblance of life outside of campings!!! I know "Futari Solo Camp" is about camping at the end of the day, but SoL titles without any semblance of "everyday life" is just no longer an SoL.... Still didn't know what Gen's day-to-day job is BTW... and on EP07 at that!!! wwwwww

Wait, Gen's mother just refused to take her son when her husband died? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. Yes, he still had his grandparents, but you're his mother, damn it.

@Marinate1016 Gen is such a chad that solo camping is even more important to him than the potential love of his life. But seriously, I didn't expect this and thought that she was also sick or had some serious life problems. Now, for some reason, it seems to me that she will quickly find a common language with that green-haired friend of Shizuku...

Fainting an other unconsciousness is somewhat different from nodding off or falling asleep.

I just assumed it was a birthmark. But it's a campfire scar

Good episode. Like learning more about mc. Obviously everybody's past has some sad moments and missed opportunities

I like this new girl. Just don't want to see her push out the main girl. Don't want love triangle

And he didn't say anything about her outfit, but she totally called him out for being a bit speechless when he saw her. But I guess she's also dense and was only teasing him without realizing her teasing was accurate
