Riichiro Inagaki and Boichi's Dr. Stone manga ended with chapter 232 in this year's 14th issue of Weekly Shounen Jump on Monday. The magazine will publish a special chapter simultaneously with the broadcast of the Dr. Stone: Ryuusui television special in Summer 2022.

Inagaki and Boichi began serializing the sci-fi adventure manga in Weekly Shounen Jump in March 2017. Shueisha will ship the 25th volume on Wednesday, with the 26th and final volumes scheduled for a July 4 release. VIZ Media licensed the manga in English and released the 20th volume on February 1, with the 21th scheduled to ship on May 3.

TMS Entertainment adapted the manga into two anime seasons in Summer 2019 and Winter 2021. Crunchyroll and Funimation are streaming both seasons with subtitles and an English dub. A third season is currently in production for a 2023 airing.

Dr. Stone placed among the top 20 manga in the male readers category in the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2018 and 2020 rankings. The manga also won the 64th Shougakukan Manga Awards in the shounen category in 2019.

Synopsis
When a mysterious light suddenly engulfs Earth, humanity is left petrified, frozen in stone. Thousands of years later, the world is teeming with vegetation, and forests have taken the places of cities that once stood proudly. One of the very first to emerge from their stone prison is Taiju Ooki, who finds that his good friend, a brilliant young scientist named Senkuu, has been preparing for his awakening. While Taiju wishes to save the girl he loves, Senkuu is determined to figure out the cause behind the strange phenomenon and restore the world to its former glory.

But when they free the infamously powerful Tsukasa Shishiou in order to gain an upper hand against the dangers in an unfamiliar world, they realize that their new comrade has other plans. Tsukasa sees their predicament as a chance to start over; free from the corruption and destruction wrought by technology, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. With both sides unable to see eye to eye, Senkuu and his devotion to science will clash with Tsukasa and his primal nature in what will truly be a battle of the ages. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I was planing on reading the Dr. Stone manga, but I guess I'll wait until Season 3 before I can start on it.

Oh damn. The Manga has finished? I'm reading it with the book release in my native language and we are currently at volume 16, so 9 more books, which should be another 1,5 years roughly. Sounds good for reading it alongside the Anime.

I enjoyed the ending (Even though it left me wanting to see if they succeeded with that new idea or not) but man, hearing that this was also ending really made it set in stone that all the post Naruto shounen series are all ending

Hero Academia might end this year and JJK is close to reaching its final stages too, and after that, all we'll have left is One Piece lol
