History Trivia / GirlsLastTour

* TheCameo: In ''Shimeji Simulation'', a more recent manga series by Tsukumizu debuting in 2019, Chito, Yuuri, and Nuko occasionally appear as background characters, [[https://preview.redd.it/rgholspzwri71.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cba5907b1703afc9f7a98f020c968013bd347da1 only the girls are now wearing casual clothes and Nuko resembles an actual cat.]] The manga deliberately refers to them as unnamed "neighbors."

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The anime covers all but the last handful of chapters of the original story, resulting in an ending less conclusive than the manga's; to make matters worse, the aforementioned manga wasn't even finished yet. Tsukumizu has expressed interest in adapting the rest of their work into anime form, but the show's insufficient disc sales and overall financial success (See AcclaimedFlop above) mean that its chances for a second season are pretty slim. On his Twitter, Tkmiz would later state he still had interest as late as June 2023, but the studios are uninterested and have no plans for it.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Inori Minase and Yurika Kubo voice recurring characters in the fantasy-adventure anime ''LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'' (Hestia and Loki, respectively). Ironically, whereas Chito and Yuuri sometimes get on each others' nerves but deeply care about each other, Hestia and Loki are [[SitcomArchNemesis bitter rivals]].
** The cast for the English dub also shares some overlap. For instance, Creator/CatThomas (Chito), Creator/JulietSimmons (Yuuri), and Creator/ShelleyCaleneBlack (Eringi) voice recurring secondary characters in the English dub for ''Manga/LandOfTheLustrous'' as well (Red Beryl, Goshenite, and Rutile, respectively).

** The anime performed below-average in terms of sales and was a financial failure; 2,497 disc copies were sold during the first volume, with 2,387 more sold during the second. To be considered for another season, however, an anime normally has to hit an average of 4,000 sales per volume, which this show didn't quite reach. However, it received universal acclaim from viewers and critics, who cite elements such as its endearing main characters and unique setting, tone, style, and message. It won accolades such as the title of "Best Slice-Of-Life" during the 2018 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, and is regarded by many as a CultClassic.

* FanNickname: Fans of the series often and endearingly refer to Chito and Yuuri as "potatoes" due to the round, pillowy shape of their heads.

--->'''Yurika Kubo:''' The more I played Yuuri's role, the more I worried about her, sometimes even getting a little scared for her. [...] When I watched the show, there were plenty of scenes where I thought, "Man, I'm ''so'' glad she has Chi with her.

* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: In an interview published inside the anime's official Blu-Ray booklet, Creator/InoriMinase (Chito's voice actress) stated that her favorite scene in the series was when the main duo got drunk and danced together under the moonlight in Episode 8, explaining how adorable it was to see the normally-serious Chito act uncharacteristically bubbly and playful towards Yuuri.

* {{Pilot}}: The prototype for the manga was the "Bath" segment from Chapter 3 of the series' first novel, which Tsukumizu created while attending university. When a publishing company offered to serialize it, however, Girls' Last Tour was expanded into the series it is today.

* SelfAdaptation: A partial example. While the anime itself was adapted by Creator/WhiteFox, Tsukumizu personally hand-drew and animated the ending credits sequence, including a few scenes from the original manga.

* WriteWhatYouKnow: {{Downplayed}}. In Tsukumizu's interview from 2018, they claimed that Chito and Yuuri don't so much represent their self or past experiences, but rather pose a lot of the same questions the author ponders about life, morality, and philosophy. Played more straight with Kanazawa and Ishii, as they actively reflect Tsukumizu's personal concerns and worries about the future and reaching their goals (Kanazawa wanting to complete his map of the city and Ishii trying to build an aircraft).

** The manga itself won the award for "Best Comic" during the 50th Annual Seiun Awards in 2019. Its first two volumes were also included in the American Library Association's [[https://www.ala.org/yalsa/2018-great-graphic-novels-teens Great Graphic Novels for Teens in 2018.]]

** Tsukumizu gave an interview during the manga's run, [[https://japanesetranslationblog.wordpress.com/2018/03/18/how-we-should-live-girls-last-tour-interview-with-tsukumizu/ translated into English and published on March 2018.]] When asked if there were any scenes or chapters he liked in particular, they responded with the "The Sound of Rain" from Chapter 13 of the second volume.

* TheCameo: In ''Shimeji Simulation'', a comedic slice-of-life manga series by Tsukumizu debuting in 2019, Chito, Yuuri, and Nuko occasionally appear as background characters, [[https://preview.redd.it/rgholspzwri71.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cba5907b1703afc9f7a98f020c968013bd347da1 only the girls are now wearing casual clothes and Nuko resembles an actual cat.]] The manga deliberately refers to them as unnamed "neighbors."

** For Creator/YurikaKubo (Yuuri's voice actress), the scene that impacted her most was in Episode 11, where Yuuri fires a giant laser cannon into an empty cityscape and then laughs about it. She expressed her concern for her character's behavior and well-being, citing this moment as an example of how her recklessness could easily land her at death's door.

* InspirationForTheWork - Tsukumizu has cited a few influences for different aspects of the manga. For instance, they got the idea for the Kettenkrad from Creator/StevenSpielberg's 1998 war film ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'', stating that it was a perfect vehicle for Chito and Yuuri to travel in. They also drew inspiration from another post-apocalyptic sci-fi manga ''Manga/{{Blame}}'' for its world-building and visual aesthetics.
