The recent surge in anime popularity can be attributed to the presence of slice-of-life anime. These series rarely feature fantasy, battles, or mysteries. Yet, there’s an inherent charm because they’re grounded in reality. A quintessential example of modern slice-of-life anime is Laid-Back Camp (Yuru Camp). Centered on camping, it portrays high school girls enjoying the outdoors. The anime beautifully captures the appeal of each character and the allure of camping.
Based on a manga by Afro that began its serialization in 2015, Laid-Back Camp was first adapted into an anime by C-Station in 2018. This was followed by the spin-off series Room Camp (Heya Camp) and a second season in 2021. Furthermore, a third season produced by Eight Bit is set to air in 2024. While the story is about leisurely camping, it oddly leaves you yearning for the next narrative twist.
For those who’ve already watched all aired episodes of the Laid-Back Camp anime, I’ll introduce ways to continue enjoying the story beyond the anime. I’ll explain where the Laid-Back Camp anime ends in the manga, helping you determine from which volume and chapter to commence your reading journey!

How many volumes does Laid-Back Camp have?
Laid-Back Camp, which is also known as Yuru Camp, was originally serialized in Manga Time Kirara Forward betweem 2015 and 2019, and it has been serialized in Houbunsha’s online publishing platform Comic Fuz since it moved in 2019. Written by Afro, the manga series of Laid-Back Camp has 14 volumes published so far (the latest 14th volume released in November 2022).
What chapter does the Laid-Back Camp anime end on?
The second season of the Laid-Back Camp anime ends with Episode 13 “I’m Home,” which matches the end of Volume 9 in the manga series, Chapter 51 and 52. In other words, you can enjoy the following story after the anime finishes by reading the manga from Volume 10 Chapter 53 onwards.
Season 1: From Volume 1 to Volume 4
Season 2: From Volume 5 to Volume 9
Anime Movie: Anime-only episode
Season 3: From Volume 10
The second season of Laid-Back Camp concludes with the Outdoor Activities Circle’s camping trip in Izu. Additionally, the anime movie is an original story not found in the manga, depicting the lives of the characters after they’ve grown up. If you haven’t watched this movie yet, I highly recommend it – it’s truly captivating. In the third season, viewers can anticipate more delightful camping adventures, and that particular character we’ve all been curious about will be featured again.
When will Laid-Back Camp Season 3 air?
The production of Laid-Back Camp Season 3 has already been confirmed, with its broadcast set for 2024. While C-Station has consistently delivered high-quality work for Laid-Back Camp so far, the third season will be produced by a different studio, Eight Bit. Fans are anxious about whether this change will be for the better or worse, but regardless, the anticipation is palpable
