This is a review for the manga as a whole and not this individual volume， so it will probably be somewhat spoilerish。 The anime for this manga had been on my radar for some time。 I knew very little about it， other than it was usually compared to Kino's Journey which I enjoyed。 I think I watched the entire anime within a forty-eight-hour period of starting it， and I immediately knew I had to read the manga to find out more。So， I had already read the manga a couple times in unofficial translations This is a review for the manga as a whole and not this individual volume， so it will probably be somewhat spoilerish。 The anime for this manga had been on my radar for some time。 I knew very little about it， other than it was usually compared to Kino's Journey which I enjoyed。 I think I watched the entire anime within a forty-eight-hour period of starting it， and I immediately knew I had to read the manga to find out more。So， I had already read the manga a couple times in unofficial translations by this point， so this isn't exactly my first read。 I've had plenty of time to process my feelings towards this story， and there was really an extraordinary amount to process。The first thing most people I know who have either seen the anime or read the manga say is it's very depressing。 I'll be honest， just looking at the basic plot makes it seem like a horrifically sad and hopeless tale。 Yet， I never was hit by any pity for these two girls in this hopeless situation。 If anything， I envied them。They were born into a dying and nearly dead world， in a collapsed society built in the ruins of an older collapsed society。 They seem to have been separately taken in by an older man after something conceivably happened to their separate sets of parents。 That was the only family/parental figure they can remember。 They lose him at a very young age and are forced into the world to fend for themselves。They are almost entirely ignorant of humanity， history， morality， and basically anything that we humans take for granted from our social constructs。 So， they experience the remnants of this long dead world from an entirely fresh perspective， and it's so well executed to make it breathtaking。 I was in constant awe of how effortlessly thought provoking it was。 Heavy concepts were given fresh perspective from the eyes of these two unbiased observers。 War， death， life， the afterlife， art， music， literature， and that's only the first ones to come to mind。 They have one simple purpose， and that's to find their way to the highest level of the multilayered ruins， hoping there's something up there。 Yet， the journey comes to mean more to them than the destination。 All the experiences they share together on their trek make their lives worthwhile， as unfair as their lives seem。 Despite having only each other for almost the entirety of the story， they always had each other。 Both of them had one ever faithful and unshakable companion to help them navigate through life。 I guess that's why I'm envious of them。 The simplicity of their existence， coupled with having a person they loved deeply to get through it with， sounds nice。 I suppose that's odd to say about two young girls forced to scrounge for every bit of food and water they can find， but the author herself mentioned feeling envious of them in the afterword。 I guess I'm not alone， and that's one of the feelings these manga volumes gave me。 I felt that as long as this story existed， and there was an author out there who could invoke these kinds of emotions in me， I'd never be alone。There are so many powerfully emotional scenes that it's hard to even begin going into the finer details of the plot， so I'm not going to do that。 I just want to say that I'm not sure if a work of fiction has ever moved me like this。 Even the artwork， which I don't have much of an eye for， constantly made me want to sit and appreciate it。 Every time I read this， I'm filled with a sense that everything will be okay， in the end， and that life， for all its hardships， is very much worth living。 。。。more

De los tomos más interesantes。 Se plantea las cuestiones: ¿Qué es la vida？ ¿Qué es vivir？ Preguntas importantes para aprehender las implicaciones de ser humano。 Todo lo que hay alrededor de ellas —las cosas materiales y personas que fueron encontrando hasta ahora— parecen armar una alegoría de la desolación que conlleva la modernidad。 El progreso económico y el desarrollo tecnológico ¿hacia dónde nos llevan？ Solo estoy suponiendo。。。

I really enjoyed the third Girls Last Tour volume。 I now understand exactly how important the atmosphere is while being equally as important as the cute and simplistic nature of the girls。 Theyre smart， and intuitive and adaptable little engineers in a very cold and sterile world。 They bring so much light to a world devoid of near every creature comfort and they do so by finding happiness in the tiniest things that make us feel alive。 A warm spot under a pipe， time with a loved one， reading and I really enjoyed the third Girls Last Tour volume。 I now understand exactly how important the atmosphere is while being equally as important as the cute and simplistic nature of the girls。 Theyre smart， and intuitive and adaptable little engineers in a very cold and sterile world。 They bring so much light to a world devoid of near every creature comfort and they do so by finding happiness in the tiniest things that make us feel alive。 A warm spot under a pipe， time with a loved one， reading and writing， a bath when one is sorely needed。 This volume and its themes of what it means to be alive or to exist really made me love this series。 。。。more

They've found a plant， and another living creature！Does bread really work that way？ I thought you needed gluten and/or a rising agent？Regardless of little world building nitpicks like that， this manga continues to be wonderfully atmospheric。 There's a melancholy end-of-days feeling to it， and scenery that makes you wonder how the world got to this point， and it doesn't fill in all the details for you。 The author's afterword gives me an idea of how this will end。 I'll keep an open mind in the mea They've found a plant， and another living creature！Does bread really work that way？ I thought you needed gluten and/or a rising agent？Regardless of little world building nitpicks like that， this manga continues to be wonderfully atmospheric。 There's a melancholy end-of-days feeling to it， and scenery that makes you wonder how the world got to this point， and it doesn't fill in all the details for you。 The author's afterword gives me an idea of how this will end。 I'll keep an open mind in the meantime。 。。。more

Such an odd story。 Sad， yet fascinating。I wonder what adventures the girls will have next volume？ This is definitely not your run-of-the-mill manga， so anything could happen。 As lonely as that existence is， at least the girls have each other。 Art， very "first draft" in appearance， yet it fits in regards to the story， of exploring the remains of a crumbling， deteriorating， dilapidated massive super city that's been mostly abandoned for centuries。 Dialogue， a bit rough， however it's decent。 Charac Such an odd story。 Sad， yet fascinating。I wonder what adventures the girls will have next volume？ This is definitely not your run-of-the-mill manga， so anything could happen。 As lonely as that existence is， at least the girls have each other。 Art， very "first draft" in appearance， yet it fits in regards to the story， of exploring the remains of a crumbling， deteriorating， dilapidated massive super city that's been mostly abandoned for centuries。 Dialogue， a bit rough， however it's decent。 Characters， admirable， likeable， interesting， & unique。 。。。more

Yu is still the best。This one seemed to have some actual meaning at the end instead of a vaguely creepy looking character showing up。I just picked up last last three volumes， so I'm looking forward to reading how this one ends。 Yu is still the best。This one seemed to have some actual meaning at the end instead of a vaguely creepy looking character showing up。I just picked up last last three volumes， so I'm looking forward to reading how this one ends。 。。。more

Chito and Yuuri travel up to the next level of the city and make some interesting finds。This series is like being gently rocked to sleep as you hear about the apocalypse。 Things happen at a slow and steady pace and the girls are solid friends who will always be there for one another。 There's no sense of "My God - what happened？？" there's just acceptance and survival。 There are some awesome philosophical moments。 The girls get to meet a fish and its mechanical keeper which results in their thinki Chito and Yuuri travel up to the next level of the city and make some interesting finds。This series is like being gently rocked to sleep as you hear about the apocalypse。 Things happen at a slow and steady pace and the girls are solid friends who will always be there for one another。 There's no sense of "My God - what happened？？" there's just acceptance and survival。 There are some awesome philosophical moments。 The girls get to meet a fish and its mechanical keeper which results in their thinking about what life actually is。 That's part of what I like about this series - you switch from Chito and Yuuri baking rations， getting drunk off alchol （which they think is moonlight diffused into water）， and meeting some of the keepers of the city mechanics， and plung into a deep moment。 It's sweet and sad， in the same volume。 。。。more

雖然人工智慧是否是生命已經是爛哽了，但第三集最後一話的機械漁夫跟百合主角的對談還是很打動人心，有種淡淡的悲傷。原本設計超大水產養殖工廠的人類都消失了，只剩一個AI管理員和一條魚，管理員還是繼續執行他的任務直到這條魚或者管理員自己的末日到來

This one is even better than the first two。 I’m pleasantly surprised。

Apocalyptic DeclineCivilization has collapsed and there are very few people。 The planet is crammed with the crumbling ruins of a mega urban environment where very little is organic or natural。 Very dark manga。

The desolation of the modern megacity never looked so intriguing。 Alas， the hopelessness and fatigue， the depression and loneliness fostered by these abandoned environs give rise to tricky thought after tricky thought: Who will remember us when we are gone？GIRLS' LAST TOUR again finds Chito， Yuuri， and the kettenkrad venturing through a soulless stratum in search of food， shelter， and fun。 Readers partial to the young women's curious exploration of all that once was， will be delighted to eavesdr The desolation of the modern megacity never looked so intriguing。 Alas， the hopelessness and fatigue， the depression and loneliness fostered by these abandoned environs give rise to tricky thought after tricky thought: Who will remember us when we are gone？GIRLS' LAST TOUR again finds Chito， Yuuri， and the kettenkrad venturing through a soulless stratum in search of food， shelter， and fun。 Readers partial to the young women's curious exploration of all that once was， will be delighted to eavesdrop on Chito and Yuuri's conversations regarding the nature of life， survival （adaptability）， and empathy。 Let it not be said that a limited vocabulary and a stunted education ever stood in the way of human curiosity。This volume of the easygoing adventure manga includes a few bottles of wine， another fish， and most fascinating of all， a grave。 In fact， the grave site is massive。 The two travelers banter as to the purpose of the giant black slabs， later discovered to be storage units for personal treasures。 Do people leave things behind because they are forgetful？ Or do people leave things behind so those things could be remembered by others？ From a narrative angle， one ponders if the grave was erected before or after the extinction event。 Philosophically， GIRLS' LAST TOUR once again slips into the rhythm of its humanist credo: Is it better to live and to forget， or to die and be remembered？ （Notably， neither Chii-chan or Yuu-chan have the answer。）As for what's new， readers get a small taste of what life may have been like before massive die-off that resulted in the way things are。 Chito mentions spending time baking with her grandfather （as to whether she and Yuuri share the same grandfather， is left vague）。 And the appearance of a pair of maintenance robots lend credence to the notion that the previous civilization was rather advanced （as to whether this knowledge lead to humanity's downfall， as posited in the first volume， is unknowable）。 Tsukimizu's art remains the unsteady and imperfect line-art that one fell in love with at the onset。 The setting detail isn't as crisp， seeing as many of the environments are compact or interior in nature。 However， occasional buildings lit by moonlight， a quiet moment of sleep beneath heated water pipes， and one exciting （dangerous） encounter with a rickety outer walkway are each rendered with the necessary exactitude for the manga's emotional resilience。 。。。more

Still a great study of philosophy with a heavy dose of Miyazaki-type man+machine vs nature lessoning。

In Girls’ Last Tour Volume 3， the series begins to take on the character of Gulliver’s Travels， although instead of finding new peoples， Chito and Yuuri find new persons， individuals colonized by their differing experiences with alienation and loneliness。 In addition to these experiments in shared alienation， Chito and Yuuri journey through what seems less the shell of a human-made world than alien ruins。Full review （spoilers） through this link: http://www。nerdspan。com/girls-last-to。。。 In Girls’ Last Tour Volume 3， the series begins to take on the character of Gulliver’s Travels， although instead of finding new peoples， Chito and Yuuri find new persons， individuals colonized by their differing experiences with alienation and loneliness。 In addition to these experiments in shared alienation， Chito and Yuuri journey through what seems less the shell of a human-made world than alien ruins。Full review （spoilers） through this link: http://www。nerdspan。com/girls-last-to。。。 。。。more

I really like this series。 So much dystopian lit has this "the system has fallen apart， chaos means much violence and destruction！" feel that it's refreshing and exciting to read something that is more about base concepts， like what is life， what does it mean to remember people that you will never see again， etc。 Chi and Yuu's slow exploration of the now-dysfunctional world moves at an almost relaxing pace。 This volume is a bit more exciting， since it involves empathetic robots and a bit of dest I really like this series。 So much dystopian lit has this "the system has fallen apart， chaos means much violence and destruction！" feel that it's refreshing and exciting to read something that is more about base concepts， like what is life， what does it mean to remember people that you will never see again， etc。 Chi and Yuu's slow exploration of the now-dysfunctional world moves at an almost relaxing pace。 This volume is a bit more exciting， since it involves empathetic robots and a bit of destruction。 Something about the girls moving upward into higher levels of the city makes it feel like they are progressing， although there's no set end goal。 Only the probability of death， really， but the books never feel sad。 。。。more
