(Spoiler Free Review) From Chapter 19

Now Dr Stone as it is has a huge amount of potential but it takes a while to start up and get into it, which is one of the reasons why I believe a many people are not keeping up to date with it and dropping it after a while. Now don't get me wrong its far from perfect but I think its got potential and I hope that people give the manga enough time to start up and create a unique personality from itself that it deserves

The Story -8- The story revolves around a typical high school scene ... with your overly hyper main character with unrivalled strength with that of a Silver-Back Gorilla Taiju, your cute female romantic interest of your main character Yuzuriha and last but not least one of the most interesting characters shown in Shonen Jump Manga for a fairly long while is our science loving nerd Senku who has an unparalleled knowledge and love to science a bit of a throwback to Albert Einstein if you will. The manga quickly changes when everyone is suddenly turned to stone as if God wanted to do a restart and only Taiju and Senku are released 3,700 years later into a world uninhabited by humans with Senku and Taiju trying to rebuild civilisation again using science.

The Art -7- I actually quite enjoy the art but it does take some time to get used to the main thing that I dislike about the art is the fact that many of the female characters look the same just with a slightly longer or shorter hair than the others but the male characters especially Senku have a very different style to the characters, the landscapes and backgrounds are drawn very well and my favourite aspects of the manga is the comedic style art that is used as comic relief but changes to a more serious tone as the mange continues through.

The Characters -7- Now its too early for me to judge all the characters but the main characters Taiju is very cliched a bit stupid but has overwhelming strength,not scared of any situation, Taiju is also used as a comic relief character which I believe is done very well overall but I would like to see him developed more in the future as the manga develops as of yet Taiju has not been seen for around 4 chapters so his development is yet to occur. Senku is where this manga shines, he is a great character and has a unique personality that is unique to his character which is nice to see. The idea of Senku using science as a weapon instead of brute strength or a form of magical power is a nice change to Shonen Jump manga which is a pleasant read instead typical manga archetypes.

Enjoyment -8- I am really enjoying Dr. Stone at the moment but I will say when it was featured in Jump Start I was reluctant to vote for its continuation as I thought it was going to be boring and go no where, but was pleasantly surprised when it continued on the lineup and am continuing to hope for its next chapter after finishing the last.

Overall -7- I think people need to give these newer style and different manga a longer time to develop as characters a plots like these are unique to it own genre on itself now don't get me wrong its a very interesting manga and I understand that not everyone will Like it as it is but I'd definitely say give it a go wait until chapter 5-6 to drop or continue as it does get moving on faster after that point.

P.S. Thanks for reading this review its the first one I have written and is a little bit long but I will try to keep this review updated as the manga continues and will write more in the Future, Thanks, Hashiyan
