"Laid-Back Camp" is a popular series that depicts the laid-back daily lives of high school girls who love camping. The founder and leader of the laid-back outdoor club "No-Kuru" that appears in the series is Ogaki Chiaki, also known as Aki-chan. Chiaki is a rowdy character who gets everyone involved in fun activities, but she is always working hard as the center of No-Kuru. We will introduce the charms of Chiaki in detail.

Aki-chan is the head of the Outdoor Activities Club

Chiaki is the head of the Outdoor Activities Club, and is a lively girl who is very excited and gets everyone involved. In Outdoor Activities Club, she is sometimes the funny guy and sometimes the straight man, but she is always in a leadership position, pulling the two of them along by planning camping and being at the center of Outdoor Activities Club activities. Aoi and Aki-chan are best friends since middle school.

Aki-chan's trademark is her forehead and glasses.

Chiaki is a glasses-wearing character, which doesn't suit her high-tension character. At first glance, she looks like a serious character. Her long twin tails are also eye-catching, but her short, trimmed bangs and forehead are more distinctive and cute. Although she looks like a class president, her personality is the complete opposite of that of a class president, which is an interesting combination. By the way, her test scores are not very good either.

Aki-chan is a woman full of masculinity

Chiaki, the leader of the group, sometimes shows off her cool side. When Nadeshiko brought too much luggage with her during the Outdoors Club camping trip, he said with a serious look on his face, "I'll carry it for you when you get tired." His tone of voice is manly and a little rough, which also makes him seem full of manliness.

Aki-chan is after Rin and Ena

Chiaki, who aims to expand the circle and be promoted to a club, is also aiming to get Rin and Ena into the Outdoor Activities Circle. However, Rin, who likes quiet, is not good with the noisy Chiaki. Rin seems to keep her distance as she calls him by his last name, "Ogaki". Ena has decided not to join the club, preferring to stay in the club after school for now. For now, Chiaki's crush seems to be unrequited. However, they gradually start talking more and even go camping together.

Aki-chan's initiative

Starting the Outdoor Activities Club

Chiaki and Aoi's self-introduction

As soon as she entered the school, she said she wanted to go camping, so she started up the Outdoor Activities Club (Outdoor Activities Club) with Aoi. However, the tent she ordered arrived after the summer vacation, there were only a few members, and she had little money, so she was unable to go camping.

Whenever she thinks of something, she acts immediately

When Nadeshiko joined, she started preparing for camping in earnest, and when she thought of going camping with the three of them, she immediately took action. He doesn't hesitate to do things like checking out campsites, copying the gear other campers use, and even starting to season his skillet before the test. Because of this, he often fails...

Good at managing money

Camping equipment costs money. However, Chiaki is very good at searching for cheap tents and sleeping bags online, and at shopping at general stores and 100-yen shops to make ends meet even with cheap items. It was thanks to Chiaki's efforts that the No-Kuru were able to go camping and buy camping equipment, even though they were poor until she started working part-time.

Chiaki has started working a part-time job and has a little more money to spare, but when she tries to make an expensive purchase, she gets a nosebleed. Chiaki has always tried to make things as cheap as possible, so she may have started to unconsciously avoid expensive things.

An unexpected side of Aki-chan

Knowledgeable about the outdoors

Since she was originally interested in the outdoors, she has some knowledge. She reads outdoor magazines and sometimes explains to the beginner Nadeshiko what kind of equipment is good and what is cheap. However, when Aoi, Ena, and I went camping at high altitudes in the winter, we didn't prepare properly because we didn't realize how cold it would get at night, and we almost froze to death. Even though I have knowledge from books, I still don't have much experience in the real world.

Good at being considerate

When Nadeshiko had a cold, she went to visit her friend, and is considerate. When she invited Rin to Christmas camp, she was considerate and invited her to join the group, while being considerate of Rin who likes solo camping. Also, when Nadeshiko said she wanted to eat hoto when she visited her friend, she made hoto using only a recipe from the internet, so the whole family was crazy about it. She can cook if she tries.

Hidden beauty?

She seems to take off her glasses and let her hair down after taking a bath at home. Her appearance at this time is completely different from her usual impression, and she looks mature and very beautiful. You must see Chiaki without her glasses. Of course, her usual twin-tailed glasses are cute too.

Nothing Starts Without Aki-chan

The Outdoor Activities Circle often starts something based on Chiaki's inspiration or ideas. It can be said that nothing starts without Chiaki. In the first place, without Chiaki, there would have been no Outdoor Club. Chiaki is a crazy person who tries to get everyone involved and start fun things, but she is also a great leader and considerate, so everyone follows her. She is also gradually getting closer to Rin, so we can't wait to see what kind of Outdoor Club she will create with Rin and Ena in the future.
