Viz Media has been running the Dr. Stone manga series from Riichiro Inagaki and Boichi since it premiered last year and they revealed back in March that it’s done well enough that it was going to make the leap to print compiled form this year. The first volume landed last week on September 4th, 2018 and the publisher has now put out a promotional video for the manga as well as offering up the first chapter for free viewing here.
Plot Concept: The series tells the story of Taiju, who wakes up hundreds of years after all of humanity was turned to stone. A gloomy Taiju has no idea what to do, until he finds his science-loving friend Senku. The two decide to jump-start civilization again – by harnessing the power of science to de-petrify humanity.
