I was immediately drawn into Dr.Stone from day 1 during it's english release through Weekly Shounen Jump.

The art-style by Boichi is always unique and captivating, partner this up with such a science heavy premise and it leads to a very high-quality manga.

The story itself focuses on a "What if" kind of scenario. "What if humanity reversed back to the stone age with limited survivors". Because of this premise it focuses heavily on individuals using modern knowledge to survive in an age when body strength trumpeted everything.

This of course results in one of the main arcs and themes for the manga, strength vs science. Which leads to a lot tense but also at times, humorous interactions between characters.

The way they approach science theorems in this is really well executed, explaining in detail exactly what is happening. (For example: Mixing Substance A with Substance B results in C occuring). The mangaka himself even has a science expert on hand to verify some of the chemical reactions which adds an extra layer of realism.

It also has a very interesting approach towards it's Villians. Rather than there being a token individual whom is evil for the sake of it. We are instead treated with characters whom are relatable and are just using a different method to survive in such a world. It is easy to sympathise and understand their way of thinking even if you disagree with their actions.

Summary:

- Art-style is highly detailed and lends itself well for the premise.
- The premise is interesting and engaging, everything is unfamiliar on this new Earth however since has familiarity to it.
- Humour is subjective and depends on the reader however, the faces some characters pull should cause some laughter alone.
- The realism in the science, detailed explanations and fact checking done helps you learn some science whilst enjoying a hobby.
- Each character has their own personality, strength and weakness, even the minor ones.
