Personal Opinion
I’ve read the first two chapters and am really enjoying it, even though I’m reading it on my lonesome and there’s no furigana. So basically the language is very manageable; it’s definitely easier than のんのんびより, for example. I think it might therefore be a great option for people to have a go at reading something without furigana. It’s been really satisfying working out what some words mean from the kanji before I’ve even looked them up.
It’s a very chill little series and I find the art style pretty comical. Not gonna lie, you will learn a lot of camping terms 
Pros and Cons for the Book Club
Pros
- Language is not too difficult
- No furigana - good practice
- Shortish chapters (~24 pages) so not too much to tackle in one week
- Only 6 chapters, so it’ll be short and sweet
Cons
- Lots of camping terms (not too technical; more like lots of words for ‘fire’ and stuff like ポール and ペグ)
- No furigana - could make it tricky*
- Another slice-of-life (but like, a really good one, so)
*I’m keeping a spreadsheet of vocabulary as I read (and making a kitsun deck to share!), so before we even start there’ll be at least two chapters of vocab sussed out and in the sheet.
