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 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.
While the fourth season of Dr. Stone was announced, they did not announce when it will air. They did, however, confirm that the fourth season will be the final season of the Dr. Stone anime. This means it will cover the Truth of Petrification Saga through the Stone to Space Saga of the manga.
This is a rather large chunk of story, which means likely another 24 episodes – if not more!
