Synopsis

Amidst a post-apocalyptic world, Chito and Yuuri seem to be the final survivors of the war that brought civilization to its demise. No longer having a place to live, the girls roam around the city on their half-track motorcycle, ever in search of resources to sustain their vagabond lifestyle. Despite the bleak future ahead of them, the duo still finds ways to entertain themselves throughout this melancholic journey.

As the happy-go-lucky Yuuri and the serious Chito hopelessly search for a sign of civilization in a barren world during the harsh winter season, their expedition may in fact become humanity's last tour.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

“Sleep and wake and eat and move” - Yuu

Apocalyptic stories in anime come in many forms and serve a variety of purposes. Many times the setting allows for action scenes and having a hero come into their own, something like Attack on Titan or High School of the Dead. Others take the situation in slightly different ways, more contemplative ways, series like Casshern Sins or Neon Genesis Evangelion as examples. Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou takes an alternative route of using an apocalypse for object lessons on a variety of topics.

The story of Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou isn't so much about an overarching plot as the chapter ... to chapter encounters and experiences of the main leads, Yuu and Chii. The only connecting element of the series is the girls’ constant movement upward and need for supplies. Their stops along the way result in a wide variety of thought-provoking situations from odd encounters found throughout the crumbling city them are in.

Many of these situations take a look at modern society and norms from a future that has forgotten the reason for some inventions: the amazing marvel of technology that is the camera, why humans take pictures at all, and what happens when those pictures are either lost or outlive their subjects as a single example. Other stops focus on the nature of living and what one does when the world and time as we know it has ended. These ideas and their underlying themes make up the true appeal of the series and form the major reason for reading it at all. Each chapter works through a new idea, not offering an answer for the questions the series raises but instead gives that reader a chance to consider things they might take for granted or as a normal, and whether that mundanity is really something to appreciate

The art of this manga skillfully plays into the messages and themes of the story, drifting between believably run down and apocalyptic buildings to slightly fantastical or constructions out of science fictions story. The art, whether meant to be literal illustrations of the dilapidated world surrounding the girls or showing how they see their world as a mysterious,vaguely foreboding landscape pairs well with the readers lack of knowledge of the world, being shown only what the main characters see. Every location that Yuu and Chii visit contains broken constructs, hints about the activities and purpose of each area, and creates a wonderful atmosphere of a once mighty and thriving world now breathing its last.

Especially effective are the vaguely ominous and foreboding backgrounds, hinting at world that fell to ruin and only continues down the path of entropy. The final few chapters especially point to how little remains of the human world and how broken it is without upkeep and inhabitants. Watching Chii and Yuu traverse this vast and varied landscape is another major selling point for the series, as it is a masterful example of a story without words, giving information through interpretation and implication rather than outright explanation.

Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou is a masterfully crafted trek through a dying world, contemplating the very reason for living and being, seen through the eyes of two girls who make do with whatever they have. While perhaps a slow boil, Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou is a unique collection of ideas wrapped in a deceptively simple yet deeply intriguing world.

Mixed Feelings

It has become somewhat of a tradition for me to start reviews by explaining how I came across this manga. A few months ago, I was buying some manga from an online store, and I came across this one. My brother also mentioned it, saying it’s probably nothing special, but it has good ratings and could be interesting since it’s short. So, we bought it, I started reading, and it turned out to be exactly what I expected — neither more nor less. It reminded me a bit of Horizon, but it was weaker in comparison.

The story follows two girls traveling through a post-apocalyptic world. ... They encounter new things and move to new locations, often having conversations with each other. These dialogues are simple at first glance, but they’re actually really thought-provoking. The dialogues, and the story in general, seem pretty simple at first — just a regular adventure story — but as you move toward the end, you realize it’s much deeper than it seemed at first. I don’t want to spoil too much, but the final chapters really made me think and left a strong impact on me. The ending, in my opinion, is the most memorable and significant part of the story.

Yes, the story is deep and thought-provoking, but that’s why I’m rating it like this. I often encounter the same issues when reading classic literature. Sometimes, a work might excel in one or two aspects, such as the depth of the story or atmosphere, but lack in everything else. (I get that this could be the intended style or approach, but I’m not a fan of it.) That’s why when I read classics, I pick works like Dostoevsky’s, which can dive deep into human nature, reveal characters' complexities, and still keep the story, characters, and atmosphere at a high level. I’ve probably drifted from the topic, but I hope you get what I mean. In this manga, there were indeed some thought-provoking moments, and it made me reflect even after finishing it, but aside from that, it didn’t draw me in. The story and characters were okay — I understand that they had to be like that for this kind of story, but couldn’t the story and characters have been different, while keeping the same message?

I’ve already touched on the cons in the previous paragraph and the pros in the first one, but there’s one more positive I want to highlight: the atmosphere. The world was beautifully and interestingly drawn, and it really reflected the essence of the story.

At first, I was torn between saying I had “mixed feelings” or “recommending” it, but after thinking it through, I’ve decided to give it a Mixed Feelings. The story is short and simple, but it carries a unique charm. It’s the type of manga that doesn’t demand too much from you but still offers something meaningful. It’s a story that lingers in your thoughts, and while it may not leave a huge impact, it’s still worth the read if you're in the mood for something reflective and pleasant.

So, considering the pros and cons, I think my rating is pretty fair.

My final score for this work is 5/10.

Funny

Girl's Last Tour is truly an anomaly for me. In the anime and manga industry, dystopian works are typically out of the norm. And Girl's Last Tour is arguably one of the most polished within the genre. The art direction as well as the flow of plot seems appropriate for its length. For an era where the average series easily goes on for 100s of chapters, the brisk yet thrilling pace of Girl's Last Tour is quite refreshing. However, I would still not recommend this manga. I hate to say it the ending singlehandedly ruined this series for me. In comparison to where the anime ...
