Shuumatsu Touring, the peculiar manga by Sakae Saitō about two girls riding through a devastated world, now has a TV premiere date. During Aniplex Online Fest, it was confirmed that the series will debut on October 4 in Japan, airing on major stations such as Tokyo MX, BS11, and Nagoya TV, along with additional regional broadcasts.
Good news for fans outside Japan: Crunchyroll announced it will stream the series in Latin America, Europe, and English-speaking regions. In addition, there will be an advance screening of the first two episodes on September 23 at Yokohama Burg 13.
Staff & Cast
The project is produced by Nexus, directed by Yoshinobu Tokumoto (Darwin’s Game). Series composition is by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime), with character designs by USAKU Myuchin. The music is composed by Kenichiro Suehiro (Re:Zero).
The main cast features Konomi Inagaki as Youko and Miyu Tomita as Airi. Both actresses also appeared in Katana Maidens: Toji no Miko.
Adventure in a Post-Apocalyptic World
The story follows two girls who, after the end of civilization as we know it, decide to tour Japan by motorcycle. More than merely surviving, they want to enjoy the scenery, uncover remnants of the past, and share each other’s company in an empty world.
A blend of slice of life and science fiction, the series promises a melancholic yet hopeful tone. It explores themes such as attachment, loss, and humanity’s ability to find meaning even in dark times.
Shuumatsu Touring originally began serialization in Dengeki Maoh in 2020. To date, it has seven collected volumes, reflecting its growing popularity both in Japan and abroad.
