The movie project was first announced in 2018 along with the series’ second season and a short anime called Room Camp, but the story of the movie remains unclear. But fans noticed that the girls are much more ‘mature’ than the anime series.

The “slow outdoor manga” follows two young women. Rin likes to go camping by herself along the lakes that provide a scenic view of Mt. Fuji. Nadeshiko loves to take cycling trips by herself to places where she can see Mt. Fuji. After they meet, Rin and Nadeshiko take camping trips, eat cup ramen together, and enjoy the scenery.
