Where Does Dr. Stone: New World (Season 3) End in the Manga?

The Treasure Island Conclusion

Dr. Stone: New World (Season 3) gave us some of the biggest revelations in the series. Senku and the Kingdom of Science managed to secure the original petrification device (the Medusa) and revive their friends after the intense battle on Treasure Island.

If you want to fast-track your way to finding out the identity of the "Why-Man" on the moon, you should start reading the manga from Chapter 143.

This chapter is located at the very end of Volume 16.

The Moon Mission Begins

The next phase of the manga is an absolute thrill ride. Starting from Chapter 143, the Kingdom of Science realizes that to defeat the Why-Man, they can't just sail the oceans anymore—they have to go to space.

However, building a rocket from scratch in a stone world requires resources from all over the planet. The upcoming arcs will take Senku and his crew on a literal world tour, establishing new cities across the Americas and Europe to gather rubber, aluminum, and fuel.

The Genius of Boichi's Art

The Dr. Stone anime is vibrant and fun, but reading the manga allows you to truly appreciate the artwork of Boichi.

Boichi is famous for his hyper-detailed, incredibly expressive art style. The way he draws complex scientific machinery, massive landscapes, and the hilarious, exaggerated facial expressions of the characters is something that simply cannot be fully captured in animation. The manga is completely finished at 232 chapters, making it the perfect weekend binge-read.
