About Dr. STONE

Dr. STONE (Dr.STONE) blends action, adventure and comedy by TMS Entertainment (2019). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: After five years of harboring unspoken feelings, high-schooler Taiju Ooki is finally ready to confess his love to Yuzuriha Ogawa. Just when Taiju begins his confession however, a blinding green light strikes the Earth and petrifies mankind around the world— turning every single human into stone.

Also worth knowing: Several millennia later, Taiju awakens to find the modern world completely nonexistent, as nature has flourished in the years humanity stood still. Among a stone realm of statues, Taiju encounters one other living human: his science-loving ally Senkuu, who has been active for a few months. Taiju learns that Senkuu has developed a grand scheme—to launch the complete revival of civilization with science.
