Gen Kinokura enjoys camping by himself as a hobby and a welcomed escape from the city to enjoy nature. On one such trip, Shizuku Kusano wanders into his camp while looking for her own campsite in the dark. Realizing she is a beginner camper and fully unprepared for it, he reluctantly lets her stay at his camp for the night.
While Gen is upset his solo camping experience was tainted, he thinks this is the end of their time together. However, Shizuku manages to convince him to let her join on other solo camp outings so she can learn more about the hobby under the suggestion that it’s solo camping, but for two.
Persistence (and food and booze) is the key to a man’s heart. If you are looking for more anime recommendations like Solo Camping for Two, head on down below.
