For sci-fi and adventure aficionados, Dr. Stone is a solid choice of entertainment. I mean, for them and everyone who enjoys a little variety in their Shonen series.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Riichiro Inagaki’s story follows Senku Ishigami, a young genius with the goal of restoring humanity to what it once was. Instead of using strength to save the day like most Shonen protagonists, though, Senku makes use of his scientific knowledge. And I must say, he does it well. He’s considered one of the smartest anime characters of all time for a reason, after all.

Perhaps due to its interesting main character and premise, Dr. Stone has become an incredibly well-known manga since it began serialization in 2017. As is the case with most successful manga, over the years, the story received a few adaptations, such as an anime, a video game, and a stage play. That said, despite the series’ popularity, not everyone has gotten familiar enough with it to know all there is to know, especially its organizational structure. Yes, I’m talking about Dr. Stone’s arcs, of course, but don’t worry, there’s still time for you to learn them.

Dr. Stone’s story arcs

The Dr. Stone manga is divided into six official sagas, which have been broken down into 14 story arcs by fans. Of course, this means that the arcs and their names are not official, but they can still be useful for fans to better organize and understand the series.
