"Laid-Back Camp△ SEASON 2" will begin airing in January 2021, and due to its overwhelming popularity, we have heard many voices wanting to know the contents of the second season before the anime begins. In response to these voices, we will be specially revealing spoilers based on the original manga about what will happen in the second season of the anime, "Laid-Back Camp△ SEASON 2." Various events will happen to Nadeshiko and Rin in the second season. This season is packed with information, so we recommend reading this article to prepare before watching. So, without further ado, let's get started with a quick introduction to the events that will occur in "Laid-Back Camp△ SEASON 2," which will make the second season of the anime even more fun!
Nadeshiko starts a part-time job!
In the first season, Nadeshiko's activities with the Outdoor Club were severely limited due to financial constraints, but in the second season, she also begins to work part-time.
Working at the Post Office
The first season only covered the Christmas camping trip, but in the original manga, Nadeshiko immediately takes on a part-time job at the post office to earn money for camping equipment. While the details aren't depicted, there are scenes where Nadeshiko cheerfully chats with the people she delivers to, suggesting she's had a good time.
Soba Restaurant Part-Time Job
After her part-time job at the post office, Nadeshiko was at a loss for a while, unable to find a job recruiting high school students. However, she was eventually able to find work at a soba restaurant. Unlike her part-time job at the post office, this one isn't short-term, so she's able to steadily earn money to buy camping gear. (In fact, there are rumors that most of her part-time earnings go to food.)
Sakura's Thoughtfulness
After failing to find a job for high school students for a while, Nadeshiko's older sister, Sakura, introduced her to a part-time job at a soba restaurant. Although she usually appears cold towards her younger sister, her love for Nadeshiko can be seen through her casual behavior.Even when she introduces Nadeshiko to a part-time job at a soba restaurant, instead of directly asking Nadeshiko about it, she invites her to the restaurant by saying, "There's a delicious restaurant here," and shows her the part-time job advertisement.In the scene where Nadeshiko starts her part-time job, Sakura's consideration for Nadeshiko is portrayed even more clearly than usual.
Camping without the main character?!
Until now, camping trips featuring the main characters Nadeshiko and Rin have been the focus of much of the coverage. However, in Season 2, the first camping trip will feature just the three characters, Chiaki, Aoi, and Ena, excluding Rin and Nadeshiko.
Nearly freezing to death?!
The three girls enjoy a fun and lively camping trip, but the campsite they went to turns out to be a challenging one, with temperatures dropping significantly at night. Without any cold weather gear, the three girls find themselves in danger of losing their lives in the extreme cold.
They get help from a nearby couple
When Rin realizes that the campsite the three are heading to is a place where the temperature drops dramatically at night, she panics. However, with the help of a couple who happen to be nearby, they manage to survive the frigid night safely. This failure seems to have had a strong impact on the three, as they nearly died, and they are often seen reflecting on the incident.
The Teacher Also Arrives
Noticing the danger the three were in, Dr. Toba contacted Rin and rushed to the scene. However, the three were rescued by a couple who happened to be nearby, and no serious injuries were reported. Dr. Toba also received gracious hospitality from the couple, who treated him to drinks. The drink was so delicious that it inspired plans for a camping trip to Izu, where the couple runs a restaurant.
Rin's scooter gets a power-up
Rin's beloved Vino scooter gets a major power-up in this film.
Grandpa Helps Out
One of the most heartwarming scenes when Rin's scooter gets a power-up is when her grandfather generously helps out by bringing new parts for his granddaughter.
Grandpa wants to show off his cool side!?
Rin's grandfather is the most dandy character in the series, and the phrase "adult composure" truly fits him. However, when Rin's mother (daughter) realizes he wants to "show off his cool side," it's a scene that'll make you chuckle.
Everyone goes camping in Izu!
The biggest episode likely to feature in Season 2, and undoubtedly the climax of the season, is the episode in which everyone goes camping in Izu. In addition to the existing members, Aoi's younger sister, Akari, joins them, making for a much more lively camping experience than previous ones.
Rin Participates Solo on a Scooter
Rin heads to Izu solo on a scooter. The reason for Rin's power-up, as mentioned earlier, was precisely to withstand the long-distance trip to Izu with the Outdoor Activities Club. The scene where Rin decides to travel by scooter shows her strong desire to complete the journey to Izu using only her scooter and her own strength, clearly showcasing her side as a rider.
A project by Toba Sensei!!
This episode is a rare one for Outdoor Club, as it was planned by Toba-sensei himself. Because it was planned by Toba-sensei, the camp in Izu really showcases his advisory side, making it a must-watch episode for fans of Toba-sensei all over the country.
Many Famous Spots Appear
"Laid-Back Camp△" has featured numerous famous spots that have become sacred grounds. The Izu camp, which is expected to be the highlight of the second season, will also feature numerous campgrounds, tourist spots, and geospots.
New character Aya Toki makes her appearance!
Season 2 of the anime not only features a new campsite and storyline, but also introduces new characters not seen in Season 1. Among them, the most popular new character to watch out for in Season 2 is Toki Ayano. Nadeshiko's childhood friend, Toki Ayano, returns home for the New Year and meets Nadeshiko and Rin, who is accompanying her, at Nadeshiko's family home.
A Date with Rin?
Aya first met Rin at Nadeshiko's family home, and they later became close enough to go on a camping trip together. While Rin had previously shown some hesitation about camping with others, starting in Season 2, she has become more proactive about camping with friends, and this episode in particular gives us a good look at Rin's transformation.
Another Rider
The main reason Rin and Ayano hit it off is that Ayano also owns a moped and is a rider, just like Rin. The scene featuring the two high school girls on a moped, a rare sight in the series, is fast-paced yet also interwoven with heartwarming moments, making it a truly worthwhile watch.
Chiaki cuts her hair!!
While it's common in anime, the phenomenon of female characters cutting their hair short to further improve their image can also be seen in "Yuru Camp△."
Bargaining with the Tease-loving Ena
This scene not only features Chiaki, but also Ena, who cuts Chiaki's hair and teases her when she can't resist, creating a rather unusual scene featuring Chiaki and the mischievous Ena.
This one might actually be more popular!
Chiaki wasn't particularly striking among the Outdoor Club members, but in the original manga, after the first season of the anime, she cut off her long hair all at once, giving her a significant makeover. While opinions are divided on whether her look was better before or after the haircut, there's no doubt that it increased Chiaki's popularity among the other members.
Nadeshiko Takes on Solo Camping!!
Watchers of Season 1 will likely have noticed that Rin has become more sociable throughout the series, but in Season 2, we also see changes in Nadeshiko, who influenced her. Up until now, she'd often enjoyed camping with friends, but influenced by Rin's solo camping adventures, she decides to try solo camping herself.
Meanwhile, what about Rin?
Nadeshiko happily told Rin about her solo camping trip, but it seemed Rin had an open schedule on the day Nadeshiko was going camping alone, and it seemed like she wanted to tag along if Nadeshiko was going camping. This is a slight departure from the usual Nadeshiko-inviting-Rin-accepting pattern, and it seems their respective thoughts about camping have changed.
Sakura's Consideration
Sakura, the older sister, is so supportive of Sakura throughout the story that it's hard to list them all. However, when Nadeshiko declares that she wants to go camping alone, contrary to Nadeshiko's expectations that she might try to stop her, she actually encourages her. This scene clearly shows her stance of always watching over her sister with kindness, never standing in the way of her desires despite her concern for her.
I'll secretly follow her just in case
Sakura immediately agreed to Nadeshiko's solo camping trip without any objections, but she was still worried and secretly followed her around, keeping an eye on her, without Nadeshiko noticing.
Sakura and Rin
At the same time, Rin, concerned about Nadeshiko, rushes over to check on her, and by chance bumps into Sakura. At first, things become tense between Sakura, who realizes she's been tailing Nadeshiko, and Rin, who learns she's come running on her motorcycle to help Nadeshiko. However, Sakura and Rin share similar interests, and the two quickly hit it off.
Summary
Did you enjoy this episode? It turns out there are all sorts of exciting events waiting for us in the second season of the anime. I'm looking forward to every episode. I hope this article makes you even more excited for season two of the anime.
