Futari Solo Camp [Season 1 Episode 22]

“Futari Solo Camp” Episode 22: Chaos Brews as the Campsite Gets Crowded

If you thought camping was all about quiet nights and s’mores by the fire, think again. Episode 22 of Futari Solo Camp—the cozy slice-of-life anime about Gen Kinokura, a die-hard solo camper, and Shizuku Kusano, his accidental protégé—throws that idea out the window with a hilarious, chaotic twist that’s got fans buzzing.

First off, let’s set the scene: Gen’s been enjoying his solitude for ages, but ever since Shizuku stumbled into his campsite, things have been… different. She’s gone from a total newbie who couldn’t pitch a tent to someone who’s actually starting to love the outdoors. But this episode? It’s all about Shizuku’s big decision: she wants to turn her camping hobby into a career. Wait, not just any career—she’s thinking of becoming a camp chef. And who better to learn from than Gen? But here’s the catch: her brother Kai is in town, and he’s got his own plans.

The episode kicks off with Shizuku deep in thought. As one fan put it, “She can’t be solo camping forever.” Her food this time is super simple—like, rice and veggies simple—but her mind is racing. She’s worried about telling her family her new dream, especially since Kai’s been pushing her to follow a “normal” path. But when Kai shows up unannounced at the campsite? That’s when the fun starts.

Kai isn’t alone, though. He brings along Yui, a girl he’s been trying to impress. And guess who Yui has a huge crush on? Gen. Oh, and Shizuku? She’s totally into Gen too. Cue the awkwardness. Fans are losing it over the “love triangle” (or square?) vibes. One commenter laughed, “Two girls interested in Gen, and Kai thinking Gen is Yui’s boyfriend. F for Kai who’s been losing out on everything so far.”

The best part? The ending. Shizuku and Yui both want to pitch their tents next to Gen’s. Kai’s just standing there like, “What did I do to deserve this?” Another fan summed it up perfectly: “That ending! ROFLMAO Now everyone is on everyone’s nerves.”

But it’s not all chaos. There’s a sweet side too. Kai actually supports Shizuku’s dream of being a camp chef. He might be a bit overprotective, but deep down, he wants his sister to be happy. And Gen? He’s his usual calm self, even when Shizuku and Yui are practically fighting over who gets to sit next to him. Fans are loving his “chill” vibe—one said, “Gen will be there after you finish school too 😭. Long as she’s happy tho it is what it is.”

Of course, the animation is still top-notch. The studio, SynergySP, nails the cozy, warm feel of the outdoors. The scenes of the campsite at sunset, with fireflies flickering and the smell of food wafting through the air? Pure eye candy. And let’s not forget the food—even Shizuku’s simple meal looks delicious.

But wait, what about the next episode? Fans are already hyped. The preview shows a group camping trip with Gen, Shizuku, Kai, and Yui. One commenter joked, “This is going to be quite the first group camping experience for Gen-san lmao.” Another added, “I’m curious to see how this’ll play out and sad that we’ve less than 1 hour’s worth of content left of this show.”

Let’s talk about the characters. Gen’s still the quiet, wise mentor we love. Shizuku’s growing more confident every episode—she’s not just a newbie anymore. Kai’s the overprotective brother with a soft spot. And Yui? She’s the bubbly, slightly clueless crush who’s just trying to win Gen over. Together, they make a hilarious team.

The humor in this episode is on point. From Shizuku’s over-the-top daydreams about Gen (she imagines him as a bodybuilder—yes, really) to Kai’s failed attempts to impress Yui, every scene has a laugh. One fan said, “This Was A Funny Episode,” and honestly, that’s the understatement of the year.

But it’s not all jokes. There’s a real heart to this show. It’s about following your dreams, even if they’re not what everyone expects. Shizuku’s choice to be a camp chef instead of a “normal” job? It’s inspiring. As one commenter noted, “Both [camp chef and high-end chef] are cooking and selling the food that your chosen customers want. Elitism should be my schtick, not yours.”

So, what’s next? Episode 23 is shaping up to be the “final boss” of the season. The group camping trip is sure to be a disaster (in the best way possible). Fans are already predicting chaos: “I can already see what’s gonna happen and it’s gonna be fucking hilarious 🤣🫣.”

In conclusion, Episode 22 of Futari Solo Camp is a perfect mix of humor, heart, and chaos. It’s got everything you love about the show—cozy camping vibes, relatable characters, and unexpected twists. Whether you’re here for the romance, the comedy, or just the pretty scenery, this episode delivers. And with only a few episodes left, we’re all crossing our fingers for a satisfying ending.

As one fan put it, “After a cozy and overall chill season i’m more than ready for a roller coaster of drama for the finale lol its gonna be so fun.” Same, friend. Same.

Final Thoughts: If you’re into slice-of-life anime with a side of chaos, Futari Solo Camp is a must-watch. Episode 22 proves that even the quietest shows can surprise you. So grab your tent, your favorite snack, and get ready—because the campsite is about to get a lot more crowded.
