I'll start off by saying maybe my expectations were a little too high. I wanted to read it as it looked similar to Onani Master Kurosawa which got better with each volume to end up as one of my favorites.
As I read Bitter Virgin, the beginning was just mediocre but I gave it a second chance and kept reading it until the very last panel. [Btw I thought there'll be a few more chapters after that, so a weak ending like that managed to make the aftertaste feel ever worse somehow.]
I could sum up whole plot development with "random bull***t go" meme, that was the ... only reaction I was getting far often for manga that has just 30 chapters.
It's sad that it wanted to tell something to readers but eventually nothing came out of it, it kept juggling between carefree school romance and trying to get people feel empathetic for Hinako. While it tried to squeeze as much as possible from this tragedy it failed to show empathy itself. I just couldn't believe that you can make such insensitive lines and act like it was the right move and the same thing happened more than once. I don't want to blame the author too much, maybe this was a bad case of translation barrier, but even if that's the main cause of my perception of dialogues in this manga, the original version can't be that much better so it's mediocre at best.
In summary I could easily forgive it if it happened once or twice but multiple plot developments just felt forced and didn't really add anything which later snowballed into the whole story not conveying anything at all. Which also made dialogues worse as they had to fix past errors and make more unrealistic jumps to push things forward all while not being empathetic enough which is the worst thing you could do when trying to deal with traumatic events.
Sidenote: about another thing that happened too many times... first her father then her step father [multiple times] and then that guy on the street... Like I said you can't make people feel more emapthetic just by adding numbers to rape count. That was the final straw that made me know it won’t get better.

Yuru Camp is basically cooking show, if you like watching those just hear me out.
To make a cooking show all you need is someone who likes cooking and a kitchen. This anime/camping show is about girls who like camping and a camp. You just watch people cooking/camping and they give you recipes how to do same thing. You feel overflowing enjoyment of the characters and see the world with their eyes.
Above that to keep you glued to the monitor both cooks and those girls try to enhance aesthetics of what they are doing. In kitchen cooks can present you stunning dish and here you can ... appreciate the views. You can try to recreate those experiences (it will be harder to recreate views of Mt.Fuji if you live outside of Japan but it's show about camping not about that stupid volcano), maybe you won't achieve as spectacular results but it'll be your own little story.
