Free Chapters of Dr. Stone Manga Available from Viz!
Originally debuting in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine back in 2017, Riichiro Inagaki and Boichi’s Dr. Stone has emerged as one of the roughest, toughest must-read manga tales of the 21st century.
Now, Viz Media, the English language publishers of Dr. Stone, are briefly making the adventure more accessible by offering free chapters to all, beginning with chapters 1-7 (the beginning!) and then another batch with chapters 60-70 (the point where the anime adaptation is at!).
In addition to these samples from the main storyline, the first three chapters of the Dr. STONE Reboot: Byakuya side story are also being made available.
The Dr. Stone freebies from Viz last until 2/19, so this is one of those “don’t delay, read it today!” situations.
Either way, here’s the official synopsis for both Dr. Stone and the summary for Dr. STONE Reboot: Byakuya.
Imagine waking to a world where every last human has been mysteriously turned to stone...
