This is not your average 'cute army girls' slice of life. The journey is dark and serious, and the scenery is a look into the human soul. This is a story about trying to keep a full belly, about trying to find a warm place to sleep, about simply finding some sense of safety for tomorrow... and maybe the day after.
If you've ever seen a time where you didn't know where your next meal was coming from, if you didn't have a comfortable place to sleep, if you didn't know if you would open your eyes when you closed them... well, Chito and Yuuri will feel as familiar to you as a broken-in pair of boots, a good field jacket, or that reassuring weight you carried on your shoulder or in your hands.
It's not going to be a long journey, you get hints of that from the very start.
It's going to be mostly a sad journey, with a little happiness snatched from a world without much left to give... and which parts with it reluctantly.
It's going to be a story of simple joys and things that we take for granted in our comfortable existence will become luxury beyond imagination.
So join Chi and Yuu for their tour.
It is an emotional ride through your own soul as much as their world. Will you find joy along with them, or only dispair at a world fallen from dizzying heights?
Just remember, this is a last tour.
There is nothing waiting when it's over.
There is only what they will find along the way... and the question of how long they can keep it going.
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
As far as the adventures in this volume go, the chapters are broken into stand alone vignettes which see girls visiting an abandoned outpost, enjoying a hot bath after a snowstorm, and even running across their first contact with another survivor among other things. However, by judging the end of the chapter, that fellow might be a one-time appearance. At any rate, the vignettes on their own where pretty interesting for setting up the world as well as what the reader can expect. The only problem I did have was with how nondescript the setting is, but feel like the next volume will provide some more insight.
In terms of artwork, Girls' Last Tour is very minimalistic in its approach, yet gets the point across. With the simplest designs being Chiito and Yuuri themselves, it is quite easy to get attached to them or even be in awe in the sharp contrast to some of the beautiful discovers they unearth. Besides the environment and characters, it is worth noting that the vehicle the two use for transportation dubbed the Kettenkrad was designed by Takaai Suzuki, the same that worked on the direction of Strike Witches and Girls und Panzer as its military historian. Definitely an interesting tidbit of information for those that like the aforementioned titles.
With the debut of Chito and Yuuri travels getting off to a light start, I can't say that I am completely sold on this series, but liked what I experienced so far. Although, given the nature of the series and its calming atmosphere, I wouldn't mind dropping in for the next leg of the trip while taking in the vistas and visages that Chito and Yuuri stumble upon.

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.
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.
