K Manga Adds Solo Camping for Two, Dekin no Mogura in English
posted on by Adriana Hazra
Debata launched the Solo Camping for Two manga in Kodansha's Evening magazine in 2018. The creator is currently serializing the manga in Kodansha's Morning magazine, and Kodansha published over 3 million copies so far. The company shipped the manga's 20th compiled volume on April 23.
The manga follows a 34-year-old solo camper named Gen Kinokura who prefers his own company and no one else when camping. He encounters Shizuku Kusano, a 20-year-old absolute beginner at camping. The two somehow ended up "solo camping" together.
The 45th Annual Kodansha Manga Awards nominated the manga in 2021.
The anime adaptation of the manga will premiere on Tokyo MX on July 10, on BS Asahi and Nagasaki Culture Telecasting Corporation on July 11, and Yomiuri TV on July 15. Crunchyroll will stream the series as it airs.
The manga already inspired a live-action series that premiered on January 9.
The manga centers on university students Magi and Yaeko, who one day witness a Kōjien dictionary falling on the head of a man and hurting him. However, despite bleeding from his head, the man expresses that he does not want them to call an ambulance or the police for him, which seems suspicious. In addition, after this encounter, both Magi and Yaeko start seeing strange things.
Dekin no Mogura: The Earthbound Mole, the television anime adaptation of the manga, will premiere on Tokyo MX on July 7 at 10:00 p.m., and will air later that evening on BS11. Crunchyroll will stream the anime as it airs.
