Learn more about the animation process as Katagiri-san and Iino-san give us an insider’s look into how they adapted the manga into the anime from TMS Studio in Tokyo. DR.STONE is based on the hit weekly Shonen Jump manga title of the same name written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Boichi. The series is being animated by TMS Studios. The series picks up thousands of years after a cataclysmic event petrifies the world’s population. Following two main characters who free themselves from stone, Senku Ishigami and Taiju ?ki, DR. STONE is a story of science versus might in the quest to rebuild civilization. The Dr. STONE manga has been a smash hit worldwide with more than 480,000 volumes sold since July 2017 in Japan alone.
