As a person who also enjoys the outdoors, I enjoyed the scenic visuals in Laid-back Camp as much as the next person. However, what I truly learned from this particular anime is how powerful cute anime girls can be as a marketing tool. You and I know full-well that Laid-back Camp is enjoyable, but it wouldn’t have three seasons and a movie if it weren’t boosting tourism of the places it puts on display.

Where To Start The Laid-Back Camp Manga After The Anime?
If you finished through Season 3 of the Laid-Back Camp anime and wish to continue the story with the manga, you can start after Season 3 at Chapter 78.
The third season adapts two chapters of six total chapters in Volume 14.
As an addition, the Laid-Back Camp movie is an original story that is not from the manga.
What to Expect From The Laid-Back Camp Manga?
Due to the nature of Laid-Back Camp’s storytelling, it doesn’t really skip anything since it is often trip-based arcs. Even better, the Room Camp anime adapts many of the short skits from the manga volumes that you would have otherwise had to go back and read.
This means you don’t need to go read the Laid-Back Camp from the beginning unless you want to.
Is The Laid-Back Camp Manga Over?
The Laid-Back Camp manga is still ongoing. Since launching in 2015, it has steadily released at a two-volume per year pace.
Will There Be A Laid-Back Camp Season 4?
A Laid-Back Camp Season 4 has been a officially announced. However, no date has been released as to when it will air.
When Season 3 ended in Spring 2024, the manga only had about ten unadapted chapters. The fourth season was announced in Fall 2024, so there will likely still be some buffer time for the manga story to advance.
