Dr. Stone

Dr. Stone has officially joined the Weekly Shonen Jump lineup! And I couldn't be happier! It was my personal favorite out of the JUMP STARTS, due to the fantastic art, intriguing set up, surprising moments and wacky comedy. The idea felt fresh too. There aren't that many "start civilization over" manga out there, especially in Shonen Jump. And as a treat, we've got two big chapters coming at ya! Enjoy!
