Let's get along with the feeling of hopelessness.
Overview
Girls' Last Tour (少女終末旅行, Shōjo Shūmatsu Ryokō) is a Japanese manga work by Tsukumizu serialized on the online comic website Shinchosha from February 21, 2014 to January 12, 2018. It has 42 chapters plus extra chapters.
It was originally an individual doujin work, first drawn by the author as an original work, but was developed into a commercial work after its serialization on the website began.
It has also been made into an TV animated series. On 27 July 2019, it was awarded the 50th Seiun Award in the Best Comic category.
Synopsis
Chito and Yuuri are alone together in a post-apocalyptic world, and wander aimlessly through endless ruins in their beloved Kettenkrad. Everyday they are short of even their daily meals and have no idea what the future holds.
But even this "everyday life" is somehow enjoyable when they are together...
Setting
Two girls, Chito and Yuuri, who live in a post-apocalyptic world, wander through abandoned, multi-story cities in search of food and fuel ridding on a half-track motorcycle, the Kettenkrad. The background of the story, including the girls' outfits and the weapons that have become relics of the past in the work, creates a bleak atmosphere, but due to the mild characterization of the characters, there is almost no atmosphere of gloom, rather it is more like a relaxing, day-to-day story.
