mono hit the pages of Manga Time Kirara Carat in March 2017, and is ongoing. Yen Press publishes the manga in English and describes the story like so:

Now, club members Satsuki, An, and Sakurako are asked to be the main characters for manga artist Haruno’s latest work that’s centered around action cameras. The girls head out to capture the lovely sights of Japan, exploring gadgets around them, and of course, chomp on the local delicacies along the way!
