Imagine waking to a world where every last human has been mysteriously turned to stone…

One fateful day, all of humanity turned to stone. Many millennia later, Taiju frees himself from the petrification and finds himself surrounded by statues. The situation looks grim-until he runs into his science-loving friend Senku! Together they plan to restart civilization with the power of science!

The advent of the hot-air balloon means Senku and friends can start making accurate maps. And with more allies than ever, the Kingdom of Science starts a food revolution to create tasty, long-lasting bread to feed everyone in the kingdom. Then, while testing their new motorboat in nearby waters, they intercept a cryptic message. Could there be others who survived the petrification?!
