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

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

My son kept asking me if that villager without a name was a mistake. Finally... [laughs]
Dr. STONE
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
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
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
WSJ 2019_29
I actually made the thing that shows up in the story in my kitchen. It was smelly and gross!
Dr. STONE
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
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
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

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

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
WSJ 2020_10
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
WSJ 2020_14
I participated in the Dr. STONE escape game! Escape using science experiments! How fresh! Give it a try!
Dr. STONE
WSJ 2020_16
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
WSJ 2020_2122
I've eaten gator meat before, and it was a like slightly tougher chicken. It was yummy!
Dr. STONE
WSJ 2020_24
This week's airplane is called an ultralight plane. You can actually fly it without a license.
Dr. STONE
WSJ 2020_26
I started creating storyboards on my computer, and they've become much easier to read! The power of science!
Dr. STONE

Online meetings are really convenient because you can have them while sharing the screen of your digital work.
Dr. STONE
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
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
WSJ 2020_35
Secret codes are a vital part of our daily lives. You learn a lot of interesting things studying history.
Dr. STONE
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
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
WSJ 2020_42
The spelling of 'Stanly' was slightly off—it'll be 'Stanley' in the graphic novels. Sorry.
Dr. STONE
WSJ 2020_44
Boichi Sensei gave me shoes that make the same footprints as those that were placed on the moon!
Dr. STONE
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
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
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
WSJ 2020_52
Apparently, current engines have great fuel gauges and should be able to handle even sugar water.

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
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
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
WSJ 2021_14
It's well-known that celery stalks are snapped to create impact sound effects. Foley artists are amazing.
Dr. STONE
WSJ 2021_16
The finale of season 2 of the anime is set for 3/25. Please watch till the very end!
Dr. STONE
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
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
WSJ 2021_24
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
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
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

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
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
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
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
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
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
WSJ 2022_02
Actual liquid crystal displays add a polarizing plate here. How was someone able to come up with this design?
Dr. STONE
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
WSJ 2022_08
It's crazy that humanity made it to the moon over 50 years ago without even the internet.
Dr. STONE
WSJ 2022_10
I wanted to go to the moon for research purposes, but unfortunately I was too busy.
Dr. STONE
WSJ 2022_12
Will humans be going to the moon for fun and taking selfies soon? That'd be amazing.
Dr. STONE
WSJ 2022_14
Exactly five years! Thank you so much for the support. It's continuing just a little longer?!
Dr. STONE

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

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

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
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!

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
