History Manga / GirlsLastTour

* NoEnding: [[spoiler:Chito and Yuuri finally reach the top of the city...only to find there's nothing there apart from a plain stone block. They walk around the completely barren landscape and talk for a time, then decide to have a meal and a rest before they decide on what to do next. The end. However, Chito and Yuuri have completely run out of resources and equipment at this point, the meal they had is their last package of food.]]

* BigSleep: [[spoiler:Heavily implied to be the case in the manga's ending. The duo burn their diary, eat the last of their food, and then close out the series falling asleep on the rooftop while the scene zooms out. The tankoubon only makes this worse; the ending closes on their helmets, with the girls themselves nowhere near them after some unspecified amount of time passed, with their very last appearances looking up at the sky in a wheat field.]]

* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler:With the revelation of ''Shimeji Simulation'', another of tkmiz's works, to be canon to this manga (as they appeared in Shimeji's Chapter 48), Chito and Yuuri's fate after the BigSleep are fully cemented in that manga, where they ultimately passed away from their sleep and having their souls transported into the simulation after their deaths.]]

** Discussed: [[AnAesop Two of the recurring themes of the story]] is to "cope with despair" and "achieve something without regrets". [[spoiler:Kanazawa and Ishii both achieved their own goals to a degree (though both failed at the end) and were forced to abandon the duo, but there's little sadness shown from them; in the end the girls reached their goal, and though things presumably won't end well, they are at least ''fulfilled''.]]

** Volume 3 introduces Ishii, who is a contrast to Kanazawa in many ways. While both are black-haired and bespectacled, their entire character is heavily different to each other. Unlike Kanazawa who is a cartographer who wants to chart the entire megacity, Ishii is a mechanic whose goal is to escape the megacity. As mentioned above, Kanazawa's first encounter with the travelling duo started off with a poor taste, while Ishii's encounter with them firstly started with a sense of amicability. Their final fates are different. In Kanazawa's case, [[spoiler:he loses every single maps he had drawn, and was internally in dismay]]; by contrast, Ishii was much more relieved of her failure [[spoiler:to escape the megacity after her plane immediately breaks down in 40 seconds.]]

** Volume 4 introduces Nuko, who is far more different than Kanazawa and Ishii in many aspects. Unlike Kanazawa and Ishii who were both humans in flesh and blood, Nuko is an Eringii who is a TalkingAnimal. He's also not burdened by a major problem and instead goes along with Chito and Yuuri without any problems at all, unlike the previous two who only joined Chito and Yuuri to complete their respective goal.

%% ** Volume 4 introduces Nuko, who is far more different than Kanazawa and Ishii.

%%* ContrastingReplacementCharacter: From Volumes 2 to 4, Chito and Yuuri's singular travelling companions are different from one to the other on the respective volume that they firstly appear.
%%** Volume 2 introduces Kanazawa, a cartographer/mapmaker, whose first encounter with the duo was rather in poor taste at first. [[spoiler:He actually was with his female travelling companion whose fate was completely unknown before going on his own when his bike broke down.]] In the final chapter of Volume 1, he internally grieves after [[spoiler:losing all of his hand-drawn maps from a rickety elevator ride with Chito and Yuuri, yet he still is in high spirits and gives him his camera to them.]]
%%** Volume 3 introduces Ishii, who is a contrast to Kanazawa in many ways.

Chito and Yuuri are two young girls still alive in the mostly empty world. Chito a dutiful and serious bookworm, while Yuuri cares little about anything but when their next mealtime is.

It was followed by Tkmiz's next series, ''Manga/ShimejiSimulation'', which ran from 2019 to 2023.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: While some of its [[SpoilerCover title art covers]] are known to reveal key plot points, the summaries in the back covers of its two volumes are reputably egregious in spoiling them. And they're shameless of showing them outright.

** [[spoiler:Volume 6's summary is so shameless that it essentially reveals the outcome of the ending in just a single sentence. It reads "Chito and Yuuri have arrived at the highest stratum, but their journey will not be over until they reach the very top of the city." The cover also immediately tells everything that their journey to the highest layer is a ForegoneConclusion of it meaning little to begin with.]]

** Volume 6's cover doesn't even bother hiding the fact that it spoils the ending [[spoiler:where Chito and Yuuri have finally reached the highest layer at the GrandFinale.]]

* EarthAllAlong: The {{Eldritch|Location}} world that Chito and Yuuri are in was initially seen to be as an alien planet in another galaxy, due to how commonplace layered cities are, and with the world being totally artificial. Episode 12/Chapter 31 reveals that [[spoiler:this is Earth set within the future, destroyed by a huge RobotWar, and they are implied to be what was once Japan. Due to [[HumansAreBastards humanity destroying all natural life in place for mass urbanisation]], Earth is so artificial that not even a single trace of natural environment is seen. The holographic map that Chito and Yuu seen in the space center confirms that this was once Earth.]]

* GaiasLament: The world itself is virtually stripped clean of anything natural, [[spoiler:after [[HumansAreBastards humans destroyed all traces of the natural environment]] for many years, leading to all of the world being too completely artificial. The only thing that is still remotely natural are the oceans.]]

It was followed by Tkmiz's next series [[spoiler:and a StealthSequel]], ''Manga/ShimejiSimulation'', which ran from 2019 to 2023.

* LighterAndSofter: Despite being a very relaxing series to boot, ''Girls' Last Tour'' is by all means a dark and yet depressing series as it clearly takes place in a post-apocalyptic world devoid of all life. However, it [[ZigzaggingTrope is zigzagged]]. The anime series is much lighthearted, [[spoiler:except for the scenes of the (in)famous RobotWar from the distant past when Chito and Yuuri interfaced the camera to the submarine, where it was clearly very heartbreaking and grim, scenes that were ambiguously seen or not even seen in the manga]] and it ends on a lighter note [[labelnote]]specifically Volume 4, where the WhamEpisode doesn't kick off until Volume 6[[/labelnote]] compared to the manga where its ending ''is'' considerably bittersweet and heartbreaking [[spoiler:as their adventure to the highest layer is all for nothing at the end.]]
