DR. STONE, VOL. 01

Dr. Stone begins when a mysterious flash of light petrifies every human being on Earth, freezing all of humanity in stone for thousands of years. When brilliant, science-obsessed teenager Senku Ishigami finally breaks free, he finds a world reclaimed by nature and sets out to rebuild civilisation from scratch using nothing but scientific knowledge, ingenuity and sheer determination. Alongside his physically powerful but soft-hearted friend Taiju and a growing “Kingdom of Science,” Senku must contend with rival humans who would rather rule over the petrified world than restore it. Written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Boichi, Dr. Stone turns real-world science into thrilling, inventive shonen storytelling.

This is the series opener, introducing Senku and the moment humanity is turned to stone.
