You can find the latest trailer for Do it Yourself!! below.
Do It Yourself!! is the latest in a subgenre of slice of life that features girls engaging in hobbies (typically outdoorsy ones). Other series with similar themes include Encouragement of Climb (a series about girls mountain climbing), Laid-Back Camp (a series about girls camping), and Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater (a series about girls going fishing).
These series tend to be almost as informative as they are entertaining and traditionally go out of their way to realistically portray the hobbies they’re representing.
