If you watch the Yuru Camp anime, I assume you've noticed this. The title of
Yuru Camp in Nihongo is ゆるキャン (yuru kyan) and not ゆるキャンプ (yuru kyanpu). Can
you explain to me why キャン is used instead of キャンプ which is the literal
translation of camp?

question
anime
What is with "Yuru Camp" title?
I imagine that it’s just another instance of word contraction, which is common
in Japanese. [Here](https://www.japanesepod101.com/blog/2015/08/14/what-are-
some-japanese-abbreviated-and-contracted-words/) is a relevant article. In
addition to everyday words, it happens often with TV shows, band names, etc.
