About the series
Dr. Stone, a 27-issue manga series published by Viz from 2018 to 2025, follows a world where humanity is suddenly turned to stone, only for one brilliant young inventor to awaken millennia later and set out to rebuild civilization through science. Written by Riichiro Inagaki and Caleb Cook, with striking, detailed artwork by Boichi, the series blends survival adventure with inventive problem-solving as its cast uses chemistry, physics, and engineering to leapfrog from the Stone Age to modern technology. Its unique premise and earnest celebration of knowledge made it a standout in modern shonen manga.
