Slice of life cuteness + post-apocalyptic melancholy = a refreshing take on the genre!
Girl's Last Tour is a true definition of a "Hidden Gem". One of the most refreshing takes on the post-apocalyptic genre, the story revolves around the misadventures and everyday life of, apparently, the two last surviving humans on earth. our protagonists Chito & Yuuri travel the ruins of a civilization long gone, searching for fuel and food, and exploring desolate landscapes. During their journey, they get to discuss various topics, from simple things like cooking and music to deeper subjects like the meaning of life!The art style can be deceiving, with its blobby moe style making you think that it's going to be just a silly comedic adventure, but there is a more sinister side behind it. It's not particularly dark or violent (there is no violence at all), you won't find any high-octane action taking place, or fights against some unspeakable evil force. The chemistry is between the interactions between the two girls and their opposite characters (Chito the brains, Yuuri the brawn). It is a perfect blend of humor, slice of life and melancholy, posing some interesting philosophical questions (in a simple manner) without giving definitive answers but leaving the reader to think about it.The backgrounds contrast with the blob style, with an abandoned industrial mega-city that feel eerie in its emptiness and oppressive but wonderful to look at tanks to Tsukumizu's amazing sense of scale and architecture while keeping things simple at the same time. The sketchy lines give a more relaxed vibe and the sense of the whole adventure being one big melancholic dream.Girl's Last Tour Vol.1 does a wonderful job at its specific genre and it's a great set up for the later volumes who only improve as you continue reading!

Hits all my aesthetics
Perfect slice of life story which stays interesting, I'm always excited to read the next volume! Chito and Yuu are like yin and yang, the art is perfectly simple, complex and unique and every page is lovely to look at too. The pacing is perfect. I read the book within a day but its absolutely worth buying and keeping a physical copy of to re-read, and appreciate the art work in. The cover art is also beautiful, and the messages and morals throughout are too.Its all my favourite things in one! Cute girls, industrial and brutalist aesthetics, practical clothing and cool machinery, with a bit of snow now and again on top :-)

An understated classic
Bleak, beautiful, wistful, sad. A post-post-apocalyptic manga: two girls traverse an empty, ruined world, scavenging supplies amongst the snow. There's no real action, no big story or epic quest: just a series of haunting, quietly moving moments of humour, reflection, and beauty among the wreckage. The sketchy, scratchy art style suits it perfectly: this is a world where even lines have started to fall apart. Strongly recommended.

I need answers!
This was an insta buy as soon as I found it, it’s not the kind of thing I usually go for but the cover art completely hooked me.About two girls travelling round in their tank/car, just to survive.I liked this, Chito and Yuuri were so different but together worked so well, one being the brains study type, the other the braun protector. Really liked the sketch art style. I really want to know how this world ended up like this, and where they’re going, and what their end goal is. This volume raises questions and doesn’t answer them! Will just have to buy the next volume.

Best slice of live I have ever read!
Best slice of live I have ever read! If your a fan of slice of live then this is for you! Although it may seem like a cutesy manga it actually has a lot of substance (especially in later volumes). The characters are all really good and balance each other perfectly. The art is very cute but the backgrounds are drawn very simplistically but also beautifully.

Uno de los mejores mangas que he leído
En el caso del envío y la compra en si podría decirse que es lo que se esperaría por un libro, así que por mi cuenta en ese apartado está perfecto.Hablando del manga en si, es una historia increíble y sumamente emotiva, tal vez la sencillez o la forma un poco escaza en como te informa el contexto de la misma, llegue a parecer muy ambiguo o poco llamativa, pero si le das una oportunidad te llevarás una sorpresa grata y te enamoraras de su mundo, su historia y sobre todo de sus personajes. Sin duda alguna, tener este libro en físico es una grata adición.

Wandering Through A Wasteland
Girls Last Tour is unlike a lot of other post apocalypse stories. In a world where hardly any life remains and man made structures are breaking down. Two girls Yuuri and Chirp simply wander finding food and trying to understand the fragments of the past they encounter.It's both an odd mixture of melancholy and hopeful all at the same time. All the it somehow maintains a relaxed atmosphere.The artwork of the series is simple and but charming. It's landscape are a big highlight as each page brings a new view unlike the previous ones. If your curious as a sidenote the first volume covers the first 3 episodes of the anime adaptation. If you are looking for something unique and off the beaten path of more traditional stories. Then look no further than Girl's Last Tour, it's a journey worth travelling. -MickManga

The greatest story I have ever experienced - Life changing
I just wanted to say that Girls' Last Tour, manga + anime, is the most wonderful and beautiful story that I have ever experienced. It will make you look at your life completely differently and it makes you envision the world in a new way. I would say anyone who has been depressed or suicidal should read this story and realize how much more life has to offer. Girls' Last Tour challenges some tough subject manner, everything from environmentalism to politics and warfare and artifical intelligence vs humanity and the meaning of life.All though the main focus is on the 2 girls exploring the world, it has many subtle story points that are nailed so incredibly well and are very relatable. I have watched around 150 anime and have read around 40 mange in my life and Girl's Last Tour is right at the top, I would say in my top 3 series. I sometimes wish it was longer but it moves along so well. I also wouldn't say its a series for everyone who wants a straightforward show or expects lots of action - no this series is not for you. Its much deeper than that and tells its story through powerful imagery and more advanced ideas on life.Overall it is a 10/10 for me and I had to buy the manga to support the incredible creator of this series.
