Synopsis of Dr. STONE

After five years of harboring unspoken feelings, high school student Taiju Ooki is finally ready to confess his love to Yuzuriha Ogawa. However, just as Taiju begins his confession, a blinding green light strikes the Earth and petrifies humanity across the globe, turning every single human into stone. Several millennia later, Taiju awakens to find the modern world completely nonexistent, as nature has flourished in the years when humanity stood still.

Amongst a stone world of statues, Taiju encounters another living human: his science-loving friend Senkuu, who has been active for a few months. Taiju learns that Senkuu has developed a grand plan: to launch the complete revival of civilization with science. Taiju's strength and Senkuu's brain combine to forge a formidable partnership, and they soon discover a method to revive the petrified. However, Senkuu's master plan is threatened when his ideologies are challenged by those awakened. Meanwhile, the reason for humanity's petrification remains unknown.
