Story and worldview

"Girls' Last Tour" is a story set in a post-apocalyptic world. The protagonists, Chito and Yuri, continue their journey through the ruined world in a small armored vehicle called a Kettenkrad. Their purpose is unclear, but they live their daily lives with the wisdom and courage they need to survive.

The mini-anime version is a short compilation of many episodes from the original work, depicting the daily lives and adventures of Chito and Yuri.

These episodes give us a sense of the harshness of the post-apocalyptic world and the strength of the girls who live there.
