Fans of Laid-Back Camp can rejoice with the premiere of the new mono anime adaptation, which also comes from the mind of Laid-Back Camp creator Afro. This new anime series takes viewers into the world of photography instead of camping, and Final Weapon has everything you need to know about the schedule and release dates of mono this season.
Like the manga, the mono anime will depict high school girls that are part of a “cinephoto” club, combining cinema and photography. This can be done through the use of a 360-degree camera, which protagonist Satsuki Amamiya employs during her work at the club alongside her best friend.

What Is mono About?
After her club president graduates from high school, Satsuki Amamiya, a member of the Photography Club, finds herself in a slump. An Kiriyama, Satsuki’s best friend, decides to cheer her up by motivating her to give the club once last shot. However, the 360-degree camera that Satsuki bought at an online auction hasn’t arrived yet. The two set off to get the camera and get the club off the ground again in the mono anime.
