When stone birds fall from the sky no one knows what will happen next. Soon the whole human race is covered in stone with seemingly no way of getting free. 3700 years later a high school student called Taiju has managed to break free from his stone prison. While looking at his surroundings he finds his science loving friend Senku has managed to break free a few months prior. The world they once knew has drastically changed with animals and nature taking over the planet. Senku and Taiju must try to free everyone and with the use of science to rebuild the human race.
Dr Stone is a manga series of which so far there are twenty one volumes. It shows an interesting perspective on what would happen if humans just stopped. Senku uses a lot of science in each volume to produce things that they would need in order for them to keep going. They make things such as explosives, electricity and antibiotics. With each volume we meet new characters who have their own ideas on how the new society should be run.
Dr Stone is very enjoyable as it has a nice blend of excitement, mystery, danger and humour. Being a manga series it allows more development of characters and has a unique way of telling the storyline with the use of speech and thought bubbles as well as the visuality of the facial expressions of the characters.
