What To Expect From The Dr. Stone Manga?
The Dr. Stone anime has always made it very easy to jump into the manga after the anime by being not only diligent to its linear story line, but by following the chapter system presented in the manga.
The Dr. Stone manga is separated into Sagas, which each feature their own arcs. The anime often ignores the Saga separation, but usually cleanly ends seasons at the end of various arcs.
The next upcoming arc for Dr. Stone Season 4 would be the New America City arc, though the last episodes of Dr. Stone Season 3 did adapt what were the first chapters of that arc.
Is The Dr. Stone Manga Over?
The Dr. Stone manga ended in March 2022 with Volume 26, Chapter 232. This means it is complete, but does have a three-chapter sequel manga called Dr. Stone 4D Science.
Dr. Stone also has a Dr. Stone Reboot: Byakuya manga that details how Byakuya got back to Earth, but that is just a single, complete volume.
Will There Be A Dr. Stone Season 4?
It was confirmed after the third season of Dr. Stone aired its final episode that there will be a Dr. Stone Season 4! It will be titled Dr. Stone: Science Future.
The fourth and final season of Dr. Stone is set to air in January 2025 and was announced to have 3 cours, so it will air in three separate parts. Part 2 is set to air in July 2025.
