Senku Ishigami, a brilliant high school genius with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, finds his world shattered when a blinding green flash turns every human on Earth into cold, unmoving stone. Also known by its original title *Dr. STONE*, this epic saga follows Senku as he awakens 3,700 years after the cataclysm to find a planet where nature has reclaimed every trace of modern civilization. With nothing but his staggering intellect and the millions of seconds he spent counting the passage of time, he realizes he is the lone vanguard of human progress in a harsh, primitive new age. The tide of history shifts dramatically when a desperate encounter forces Senku to revive Tsukasa Shishio, a martial arts prodigy whose peerless strength becomes their only shield against the wild—but whose radical, anti-science ideology soon creates a rift that threatens to burn the new world to the ground.

Locked in a high-stakes "Stone War" against Tsukasa’s Empire of Might, Senku must navigate a treacherous landscape where the laws of physics are his only weapons and his few allies are his most vital resources. While he faces the external threat of a rival who believes science only corrupts, Senku carries the silent internal burden of being the sole gatekeeper of a lost era, tasked with the agonizing weight of choosing whom to revive in a world with limited resources. This philosophical clash transforms a struggle for survival into an explosive race for technological supremacy, forcing Senku to reinvent everything from simple antibiotics to the complex machinery of the modern age. Driven by a ten-billion-percent conviction and a refusal to abandon a single human life, he pursues a singular, staggering dream: to use the power of science to bridge the gap of four millennia and restore all seven billion people to their former glory.
