Veteran anime production house studio TMS Entertainment (Lupin the 3rd, Akira) is handling the adaptation of the shonen manga darling, Dr. Stone. The series will premiere in July, anchoring a somewhat stronger than usual Summer anime season.
Episode director Shinya Iino (Hanebad!, Made in Abyss) is making his directing debut from an adapted script composed by Yuichiro Kido (91 Days, After the Rain, The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of The Commandments). Yuuko Iwasa (Yowamushi Pedal the Movie) will handle the character designs.
Riichiro Inagaki (Eyeshield 21) and illustrator by Boichi began the ongoing shonen series in Weekly Shonen Jump in March 2017 and have released 9 volumes to date.
VIZ media release English-translated versions of the manga and have published up to volume 5 as of this date.
