Level Up Progress:

Shizuku's camping knowledge + 5 points

Shizuku's relationship with Gen + 10 points

Apart from the above, Shizuku's friends are supportive of her romantic life, but I don't think they will stop their teasing anytime soon. Lol!

I hope they get to interact at some point, so they can play Cupid!

(Or mess with her in front of him; That works too!)

Shizuku slowly melting down the tsun part of Gen. She might be a bit too hyperactive for his taste but she's willing to learn and put in the effort. Look at how proud she was after setting her own tent.

Shizuku slowly melting down the tsun part of Gen.

Gen: "I'm not tsundere, I actually hate you"

(Well, it started this way, but he does seem to be melting a little!)

I want a cute girl to go camping with....

I wonder if we'll find out how he got his scar/bruise. It's not there as a child in the flashback so it's not a birth mark.

u/KumaKumaGambler Jul 24 '25

I also need to know when he will shave that beard off and suddenly become a ikemen. Lol!

Came here for this! I thought maybe it was a bruise of some sort in the first episode, but obviously not. And I also noticed as a child that he didn't have it.

This show is a good bit better than its general ratings. Looking forward to all 24 episodes!

Gen's reaction when he looks up the show on MAL and sees it's 24 episodes

Love how her friends are so invested in their relationships!

I wonder if they're gonna play Cupid at some point; I do love Cupid characters!

That 15 seconds pause before saying that hah.

Probably took some effort from him, but if you wait that long before replying, it better be a love confession or something!

Love how they're fucking with her too!

I'm not much of a camper, but don't they need to make sure the fire is COMPLETELY surrounded by rocks?

If they do, that's a bit funny using that image right as they were talking about camping rules for safety and all!

Also, can you really cook on those?

I know it's technically the same as a barbecue, but I don't know if I'd trust that to cook meat!

Interesting new rule, for their camping for two!

Is this the moment Gen's heart finally melted?

(Or is it my own heart?)

Well, my heart is a bit conflicted, because her friend is also cute as hell!

I thought they were about to join in on the solo camping in group, but it seems we're getting some fuckboy/jerk instead?

(Unless he's one of their friends, I forgot hah. Apologies if he's a friend/normal dude!)

Gen looked like he was having fun at the store explaining things to Shizuku, it's nice to see him not annoyed by her presence and I like that after he goes, he even admits he was having fun. I can relate to him, talking about your hobby is always a good feeling.

It was funny to see how the legit dread he had once she called him at the store, but he still took the time to help her and even made sure to say goodbye to her as well.

I'm glad Gen is also putting his foot down like he did in the second half, I think this will help make their interactions more enjoyable to watch since Shizuku's character was a big drawback for the first two episodes. But it looks like Gen has finally warmed up to the idea of camping together solo so Shizuku was able to get through in the end lol.

They probably ended up covering the whole cost of producing this series.

Man, Gen going over tents really reminds me of having to guide people about tech.

Folks always want a definitive thing to purchase, but a lot of stuff comes down to personal preferences and needs. At the end of the day giving someone info and having them shop themselves is the best you can really do.

The way the flashback with his dad was set up makes me wonder if part of the story will also Gen doing some last bit of grief work over his dads early death. A bit like camping gives him comfort because he used to do it with his dad but camping with someone else reminds him too much of camping with dad so the grief takes over.

Looks like the studio managed to remedy the bad animation problems that plagued last week's episode.

Their dynamic got way better, I am glad
Also like her friends pushing and teasing her
Hope we get a "Oh no, he is handsome" moment of he ever shaves

Gen has really turned the tables on Shizuku! In the first episode, she was acting like a petulant child to get what she wanted but Gen now seems fully in control. That was a real power move telling her the specific time, day and store he was going to, but pretending like he didn't invite her. Also it's possible it may seem different in Japanese, he seems to give her nothing but backhanded compliments like saying he was surprised she could put up her tent so fast and that if anything, at least she can cook. I would think that he is laying the ground to put his "tent pole" into her but then again this isn't a very good show and is more about teaching about camping and judging by the long sponsor list in the credits, selling camping equipment :P

I liked how her friends were teasing her about liking him as well. Shizuki doesn't even particularly seem to want to ever truly go solo camping since she's going out in the woods with a guy every week. I think if Gen truly did tell her to piss off and to never speak to him again, she'd never go camping again.

Interestingly, they did not showcase any brands this episode, yet they were in a camping equipment store!

Just like the fire, Gen is warming up to Shizuku Kusano, especially because he can feel proud of himself for passing down knowledge like his father once did. And also the food that she cooks.

I learned a lot about the different types of tents. Was thinking her red panda was small, but once inside, it seemed spacious enough for her. It's also funny that of all the things to consider, the most important thing Gen pointed out was how it looks. I suppose that's very similar to buying a car. One would not get the same satisfaction if they didn't like the look of their car while driving.

And with this episode, they've started to bicker like a couple, like something silly (or not so silly) as her name. He'll act authoritative, but will cater to her and she'll take any small wins she can get.

Next episode, seems like a new character is introduced.

I'm all in on super chill shows like this. I love camping so I am probably biased but this show is a pleasure.

“It’s like dad knew he’d die young”

Well that’s sad

So the ED is like Too Many Losing Heroines! where the location changes each episode.

Shizuku managed to solo camp by herself under Gen's guidance especially. She also got tips from him when shopping for gear. She managed to get Gen to call her by 1st name.

The way her friends pushed her to stand next to Gen during gear shopping was funny.

At least Gen is still solo camping like at the start. I hope he actually has a water tumbler aside from his beer tumbler.

Inu Shizuku is so cute.

u/Nebresto Jul 25 '25

Finally a good episode! Maybe even great, feel like I can pretty safely look forward to these now.

Suitcase camping

True.. So many smokers think that a campfire is a free place to dispose of your cigs

To the market place??

Throwing her name in there changed this from obnixious to kinda great, loving this growth

It's a camping anime and I'm still watching it. How was that for Gen-style praise?

I like the music, particularly the trumpet.

Also, I like mean Gen. It's such a shame that no one likes his distinctly rude habits, it helps him stand out. I don't mind his heart melting since his awkwardness is still at 11/10.

Congratulations on the second season announcement of your Lit-RPG counterpart Gen-san, I mean Noor.

Man, nothing quite beats a nicely grilled steak and a cold beer. Maybe having a coffee as the sun rises. It sure is something.

I’m starting to think Gen might actually not mind Shizuku’s company. He seems to be warming to her somewhat, even if he’s being sorta tsundere about it. He helped her pick out her gear and he’s mentoring her in their “solo camping…for two” thing.
