Coming up with a camera that doesn't use acid was a lot of work! Oh, not for me, but for Kurare Sensei. [laughs]

Dr. Stone

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_13

It's been two years! Thanks for your support! About two years have gone by in the story too.

Dr. STONE

With modern technology, a radio and a calculator can become a metal detector. So easy!

Dr. STONE

Actual shipyards have impressive spaces called mold lofts where they make actual-size blueprints.

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2019_20

My son kept asking me if that villager without a name was a mistake. Finally... [laughs]

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_2223

I went out to do research on motor sailors. The blueprints of these classic ships get me so excited! Majestic!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_25

We're once again using seashells. Bamboo and shells are two of the most important tools for surviving using science!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_27

I went to watch the anime voice-over recording. Everyone is amazing! Hearing the voices out loud makes even me cry.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_29

I actually made the thing that shows up in the story in my kitchen. It was smelly and gross!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_31

The anime is finally starting! I'm so excited for it! There's a preview online, so go check it out!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_33

The anime version is deep and magnificent, like a major movie. One billion percent thanks to everyone involved!

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2019_35

As seen again in last week's Expansive Demolition Grout, sulfuric acid is used for everything! It's the foundation of science.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_38

Technically, it should be called a tank (in Japanese, tanku) instead of an oxygen cylinder (sansou bombe). But I went with simplicity over accuracy!

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2019_40

A fidget spinner made properly by a bearing manufacturer will keep spinning for dozens of minutes.

Dr. STONE

The Dr. STONE exhibit by ACG was awesome! I want to ride the Izu Hakone train that has the Dr. STONE wrapping!

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2019_44

What Gen used can also be called the Caligula Effect. Basically, humans can be very contrary.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_46

It turns out that not falling while riding a bike isn't just thanks to the gyro effect. The handlebars are important too.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_48

Just as the anime starts the Byakuya arc, we have Boichi Sensei's side story too! I'm so happy about the perfect timing!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_49

I'm only looking over the side story, but it's a lot of work! But Boichi Sensei's working twice as hard. Amazing! LOL!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_50

Boichi Sensei's already so busy with two series, and yet now we have superintense action scenes for him to draw. I'm so sorry.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2019_51

So many people are watching the anime overseas as well. Thank you so much!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_01

I did a Dr. STONE panel in New York! I was blown away by the passion of the overseas fans!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_02

Because of the side story, I have to write a comment for this page every week. I'm running out of material. How does everyone else do it...?

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_03

The anime was able to successfully conclude, and thanks to all of your support, we got a season 2! Thank you!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_0405

This year had an anime adaptation, two serializations and more. I'm grateful to everyone! Have a happy New Year!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_08

Senku is able to calculate that stuff in seconds, but the science consultant said those problems were at the difficulty level of the Tokyo University entrance exam. LOL!

Dr. STONE

I went out drinking with some famous YouTubers. These guys do everything at a fast pace. I need to be more like that.

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2020_12

Modern radio telescopes have dozens of antennae. How does that let you see so far into space? So mysterious.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_14

I participated in the Dr. STONE escape game! Escape using science experiments! How fresh! Give it a try!

Dr. STONE

When you're on an airplane you can see your current location and route on a monitor, but I'm always surprised how often they don't just go straight.

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2020_18

It was so fun coming up with cocktail recipes and tasting them. They're all good, so give them a try!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_20

In nature, calcite is often found by itself. You might be able to find some!

Dr. STONE

I've eaten gator meat before, and it was a like slightly tougher chicken. It was yummy!

Dr. STONE

This week's airplane is called an ultralight plane. You can actually fly it without a license.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_26

I started creating storyboards on my computer, and they've become much easier to read! The power of science!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_28

Online meetings are really convenient because you can have them while sharing the screen of your digital work.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_30

I did research on the space center for Eyeshield 21 . Who knew it would come in handy 15 years later…?

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_32

With the two science sides now, the science consultant is having to do double duty. I'm always so grateful!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_35

Secret codes are a vital part of our daily lives. You learn a lot of interesting things studying history.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_38

Otome-ryu has nothing to do with the word otome that means 'young girl.' It's about martial arts styles that are forbidden to be shown to outsiders.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_40

There was talk of using seaplanes, but we decided to go with this after thinking about the disadvantages they would have in an actual midair battle.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_42

The spelling of 'Stanly' was slightly off—it'll be 'Stanley' in the graphic novels. Sorry.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_44

Boichi Sensei gave me shoes that make the same footprints as those that were placed on the moon!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_46

We had a meeting with the consultants involved in the series to discuss future plans. I learn so much every time.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_48

I tested out the giant bubbles from last week's chapter and my kids loved it. I recommend using a hoop instead of a straw.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_50

The lack of rubber makes doing things really difficult, and that's caused the science consultants so much trouble. Hurray for rubber!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2020_52

Apparently, current engines have great fuel gauges and should be able to handle even sugar water.

Dr. STONE

The second season of the anime is starting 1/14! Don't forget!

Dr. STONE

Congratulations for 1,000 One Piece chapters. It's difficult to meet in person these days, so here's a toast in the pages of the magazine!

Dr. STONE

I made a real diamond at Genki Ichioka's Genki Lab! I feel rich!

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2021_10

As we mentioned in the chapter, there are many heavy rare metals in Araxá. On the other hand, there's apparently barely any light minerals.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2021_12

Lots of fun stuff is happening beyond the manga, like the second season of the anime and the game! Thank you to everyone working on them.

Dr. STONE

It's well-known that celery stalks are snapped to create impact sound effects. Foley artists are amazing.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2021_16

The finale of season 2 of the anime is set for 3/25. Please watch till the very end!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2021_19

There was an error in the Japanese version where the distance to envelop the earth was missing a digit. I'm so sorry. We'll fix it for the graphic novel version!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2021_2122

It's in a different magazine, but the graphic novel for my other series Trillion Game is now out in Japan.

Dr. STONE

This chapter reveals the truth behind Senku's past comments from early in the series about making nitric acid from poop and shells.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2021_26

Doing location research is tough right now, but I'm using Zoom and Clubhouse to get it done. Hurray for modern technology!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2021_28

On Earth, you can pretty much only get niobium in Araxá. That's why Senku and the others are there.

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2021_30

Bulls are color-blind, so the cape doesn't have to be red. It's red in bullfighting for the audience.

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2021_32

The multiplication table learning in India depends on the region. Seems like up to 19 x 19 is pretty common.

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2021_3637

So many times during this manga's run I've thought, 'If only they had computers!' So interesting!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2021_39

This week we're talking about magnetic-core memory. It's a patient stitch of electrical wires going vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2021_41

Seeing my kids get excited over this week's Dr. Stone chapter makes me happy that I'm in a shonen magazine!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2021_43

I had a big meeting with all the science consultants. So many difficult words were flying around online that my head hurt!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2021_46

This week's creation is called a Saticon, and it's a small camera invented in Japan. Japan's technological skills in the old days were amazing!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2021_48

I'm working on two serializations right now, but I'm somehow able to keep the worlds separated. The brain is a mystery.

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2021_50

The first underwater cable was made in the mid-19th century. It's surprising how old that technology actually is.

Dr. STONE

WSJ 2021_52

Even without oxygen in space, explosives still explode. It makes logical sense, but you have to think about it for a second.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2022_02

Actual liquid crystal displays add a polarizing plate here. How was someone able to come up with this design?

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2022_0506

Humanity's first trip to space was 60 years ago. And now private citizens can go for only five billion yen per ticket!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2022_08

It's crazy that humanity made it to the moon over 50 years ago without even the internet.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2022_10

I wanted to go to the moon for research purposes, but unfortunately I was too busy.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2022_12

Will humans be going to the moon for fun and taking selfies soon? That'd be amazing.

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2022_14

Exactly five years! Thank you so much for the support. It's continuing just a little longer?!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2022_31

I'm back for a brief moment! There's gonna be a lot of Dr. Stone stuff this summer, so please check it out!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2023_49

Long time no see! Sorry for this irregular serialization! Please look forward to the next chapter!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2024_03

Next chapter is the last! And the anime is over with this week’s episode! But they are amazing, so please check them out!

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

WSJ 2024_0405

The fourth season of the anime has been announced! It’ll be running to the happy ending at full speed, so please give it a watch!
