Afterlost (Japanese: 消滅都市, Hepburn: Shōmetsu Toshi, transl. "Annihilated City") (stylized as AFTERLOST) is a Japanese mobile game series. An anime television series adaptation by studio Madhouse aired from April to June 2019.
One day, the city of Lost suddenly disappears. Takuya, a courier who works alone, meets Yuki, a mysterious girl who is the sole survivor of the incident. After receiving a message from Yuki's father, who was presumed missing, they head toward Lost.
Despite not knowing each other, Takuya and Yuki must work together to survive and reach Lost. Opposing them is a mysterious organization who seeks to prevent them from knowing the truth.
