Afro launched the manga in the Manga Time Kirara Forward magazine in 2015, and it currently has eight compiled volumes released. C-Station adapted the manga into a 12-episode TV anime that aired in Winter 2018. Additional anime adaptations have been announced since then, including the upcoming short anime, second season, and movie.

Yen Press licensed the manga series for North American release in 2017 under the title Laid-Back Camp. The publisher has since released seven volumes, with the eighth volume scheduled for March 3, 2020.

This was very good, way better than the anime, all the girls were cast great especially Nasheko. There are a few changes, no ear muff girl, instead she has short hair. Nadeshko wears pink instead of the pink hair but the twin tails, side pony tail and bun are still there.

The scenery is of course stunning.

Yuru Camp becoming the next biggest media franchise of the century, part 928393939. There is some potential to make a good atmospheric live action, but I don't know if I'll check this one. It doesn't sound like it will add much to the manga and anime, and while in theory slice of life animation with no fantasy is the easiest to translate to live action, it's also a less interesting approach in my opinion.

This series would work well as live action, if they nail the atmosphere and characters. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.
