Train to the End of the World (2024)

When Youka Nakatomi buys her ticket as passenger number 77,777, she has no idea that the world she knows will change forever shortly afterwards. The inventor of the 7G network, Poison Pontaro, promptly forces her to press a button that is supposed to usher in a new age of communication. Instead, reality suddenly changes, and Youka as well as everyone else present disappears without a trace.

Two years later, the extent of the catastrophe is still hard to comprehend. Much has changed for schoolgirl Shizuru Chikara and her friends Akira Shinanome, Nadeshiko Hoshi and Reimi Kuga. There is hardly any electricity, most modern appliances no longer work – and all the adults turn into anthropomorphic animals shortly after their twenty-first birthday. Although they retain their human mind and ability to speak, they are otherwise bound to their animal form.

One day, Shizuru discovers a photo in one of the rarely published newspapers with her missing friend, Youka, in the background. Not content to sit in her home village and wait until she too turns into an animal, she asks Zenjirou Taira, a former train driver, to explain how the disused train at her town’s railway station works and decides to set off with her friends and her dog Pochi in search of Youka.
