Girl's Last Tour is a post-apocalyptic manga where two young girls, named Chiro and Yuuri, whom travel their small part of the world while reflecting upon humanity since it has seems to have met it's demise in a previous war. It's a complete series with 6 volumes done by Tsukumizu, which has a printed version by Yen Press.
It's a cute series and very interesting in the aspect of two girls surviving in a world gone cold and empty but from the progression notes I have made, I wasn't won over from the beginning nor the middle, I think I concluded that I don't see myself owning it nor progressing further than reading the library copies. The sense of indifference is strong with this series indeed.
It is lacking that spark that would win my interest over and it's that something that I long for in series I wish to own, that thing that makes me want to rush out the door or to the phone where I would order it or even consider having it on my shelf. Don't get me wrong, it's interesting but I am not very interested.
This series reminds me of School Live!, another Yen Press title, in the regards we are following young girls in a world in crisis but unlike School Live!, I didn't get into this series. I like the fact it's a bit of variety in the field of same hum dum series but I can't get pass the fact it lacks that spark for me.
The art is simple but deep.
The characters are interesting, even the thick as a brick wall character suited this theme of the story where it makes a lot of sense at the lack of education.
The story, interesting but I went on enough about it as it is.
Only parts that kill me is anything to do with heights and stuff falling from them. I couldn't stomach it and it must have helped me decide this series fate since I sense it may be a theme that may keep occurring.

VERDICT: Nay for me
