The manga has been serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump since March 2017 and so far nine

tankobon volumes have been available in Japan. Its English edition has been licensed by VIZ Media

One fateful day, all of humanity was petrified by a blinding flash of light. After several millennia, high

schooler Taiju awakens and finds himself lost in a world of statues. However, he’s not alone! His science-

loving friend Senku’s been up and running for a few months and he's got a grand plan in mind—to kickstart

civilization with the power of science!
