The official website for the “Laid-Back Camp” (Yuru Camp) franchise revealed a third new teaser visual for the upcoming film featuring the character “Chiaki Ogaki”. The anime movie is set to be released in Summer 2022 in Japan.

According to the website, each main character will be getting their own "behind the scenes" visual of their daily lives. The third visual shows “Chiaki Ogaki” sitting and drinking water during a break from being in a mascot costume during a cherry blossom festival.

The second visual showed “Rin” as she walked in the cold at night on a bridge in the city.

The first character visual released featured “Nadeshiko” as she hung out her washing.

A previously released teaser visual showed the five main cast members, who are reprising their roles, including: Touyama Nao as “Shima Rin”, Hanamori Yumir as “Kagamihara Nadeshiko”, Toyosaki Aki as “Inuyama Aoi”, Hara Sayuri as “Oogaki Chiaki”, and Takahashi Rie as “Saitou Ena”. According to the anime website, “The five people who gather under the vast grassland are a little more mature than the girls so far. Mt. Fuji faces the depths of the mountains under the blue sky that seems to continue forever.”

The “Yuru Camp Movie” was initially announced in 2018 with the second season of the series and a concept visual drawn by director Yoshiaki Gyougoku was released in May 2021. The anime film is set after the events of the second season with a slight time jump. In addition to returning director Yoshiaki Gyougoku from the series, the script will be by Jin Tanaka and Mutsumi Ito, with character design by Mutsumi Sasaki, production by DeNA and animation production by C-Station.

“Laid-Back Camp” (Yuru Camp) Season 1 was released in January 2018 and Season 2 was released in January 2021. Both seasons were simulcast on Crunchyroll and are currently available to stream in subtitles.

Crunchyroll Synopsis: Nadeshiko, a high school student who had moved from Shizuoka to Yamanashi, decides to see the famous, 1000 yen-bill-featured Mount Fuji. Even though she manages to bike all the way to Motosu, she's forced to turn back because of worsening weather. Unable to set her eyes on her goal, she faints partway to her destination. When she wakes up, it's night, in a place she's never been before, with no way of knowing how to get home. Nadeshiko is saved when she encounters Rin, a girl who is out camping by herself. This outdoorsy girls story begins with this first encounter between Nadeshiko and Rin.

The anime is based on the manga by Afro, which was launched in Manga Time Kirara Forward magazine in 2015. Yen Press publishes the manga in English and currently has 10 volumes available to purchase in print and digitally. Volume 11 is set to be released on April 26, 2022.
