This was an all out war volume as we see Homura and Hyoga attack the villagers and we see them battling it out and I love the fast paced nature of it and what happens to other villagers and how do they quell the threats and I love the back and forth of Gin and getting to see how he dupes other people is fun and then Senku being forced to move up the war timeline and get ready for full on assault from his enemy Tsukasa and beginning of some great stuff to come! Ahh I love it, there's a lot of science stuff in the end but I feel its the build up to the big war so yeah a good read but yeah there are some jargons so that might be a hindrance to some.

Boichi and Inagaki's collaboration, I'm hoping, will become as famous as the pairing that brought us Deathnote.
Whether this manga continues for 10 or 50 volumes I will likely always remember the wacky characters strategic hijinks.
Volume 6 brings several new inventions and some hastily concluded battles. Once again science outwits brutish strength. The characters, though they look like walking action figures, are detailed and entertaining enough to be memorable.
The artistic mystique and unique concept realty propel this proto-shonen.

Primi capitoli molto commoventi, poi si alza il livello con l'introduzione di nuovi personaggi. La nuova saga parte decisamente bene!

Umm, okay Hyoga and Homura need to calm their FUCKING TITS and stop murdering/setting people on fire because WOW, they're scary. It does bother me that, while understand they were just introduced, both are very generic villains. Hyoga's ruthless to the core and has no qualms about killing who he deems to be "weak," and Homura just does whatever she's told. Brilliant.
On the subject of villains, Tsukasa is weird in the sense that as ruthless as he is, there's still a soft side to him as is evident by the fact that some part of him still considers Senku a friend. Yes, he wants to kill Senku to achieve his goal, but I can tell there's still a hint of hesitation. However, the biggest issue I have with Senku is his end goal is so poorly thought out that it's embarrassing. He wants a world where only the youthful rule and roam? Uh, Tsukasa, sweety, darling, you are aware that at SOME POINT, you and your little group are going to get old, right? What are ya gonna do when that happens? Kill off those that are old, even though they're part of your group? Is there an age cap? What does he define as "old"? There are so many gaps in his logic (if you even want to call it that) that it's difficult to take his motivations seriously. But at the same time, Tsukasa is a teenager and this illogical ideal isn't that far-fetched coming from someone so young. In fact, I'd say his age fits perfectly with his goals and makes him a more believable villain. Doesn't make his goals any less stupid or ill-planned, but whatevs.
Learning more about Byakuya reinforces what a great dad he was, even though they apparently aren't blood related (I fucking hope we're gonna learn more about that or I'll FUCKING LOSE IT) and seeing Senku get emotional learning about his father's death was heartbreaking but touching. Senku is such a great character and I love seeing him grow on his own and with others.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this arc will progress and am eagerly anticipating the eventual showdown between Senku and Tsukasa. Onto volume 7, posthaste!

This was an action packed volume and I like how communications tech was introduced. I feel like all of this was moving quite fast, but at times its stated months have passed, so I'm a bit confused there at times. I also love how Senku is maturing through the series as well.

I forget which issue of Iron Man it was that revealed that he is literally a self-made man, that despite the genius of his father (& the oodles of money that got him), Tony Stark's genius and desire to do right is 100% Tony Stark since WE FIND OUT HE'S ADOPTED!
Same with Senku and his astronaut dad; this wunderkind with leek-like hair popped out of nowhere into the life of a man with big dreams, and Macgyver'd his way into making life better for his pops and as it turns out, humanity as a whole. Just like Noah & his family, his father & crew of 5 survived a worldwide purge in a (space) ark and sought to make sure humankind does not die out once they get back to solid ground.
But enough about the backstory that brings a tear to the normally emotionless science guy, THE BAD GUYS MAKE THEIR MOVE.
Didn't mention it before, but the flawed ideology of the main bad guy is that scientific endeavors really put everyone on equal playing fields as what god-given physiology did not provide, a doohickey or medical miracle ensured that sometimes the WRONG kind of people survived. So he's determined to revive only the best brutes from their stone slumber and ensure a despotic rule of Might Makes Right. That is to say, might isn't always in the form of muscle men; sometimes you need somebody who knows an old form of spear-kung-fu and a woman with a specialty in arson. But the scientific wonders never cease as our man's got a plan, both interim and long-term, that can stop the bad guys.

ALSO, I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY "ECSTATIC" FACES WHEN IT COMES TO COTTON CANDY!

Tsukasa's empire has also increased its numbers and every new character is a plus point in favour of this series. Volume 6 marks the beginning of Stone Wars saga with its main focus on the conflict between Senku's Kingdom of Science and Tsukasa's Empire of Might.

4.5/5 I really liked volume 6. In it we learn that the lineage that is Ishigami Village originates with Senku's father Byakuya (no actual blood relation though) who was up in space at the time. The astronauts came back from space near Japan and kind of restarted civilization there.
After that we find out that Tsukasa has been using the revival potion to build an army. He has sent his strongest warrior Hyoga to investigate Ishigami Village. We see some action that's really cleverly plotted and then it's off to prepare for the Stone Wars.
Senku, Byakuya, and old man Kaseki on the cover of volume 6.

This is were the story really took off for me. More background and more science! I still think the anime is better than the manga though in this case. It follows the story exactly, but really brings it to life as animation should do.

I'll see the anime on Netflix. It's not bad but I'm getting bored. I'm miss the Senku (protagonist) and his bestfriend, him and Taiju's relationship. The were a great comedy duo.

5/5 Stars (%86/100)
It was a really good volume. In the previous volume, we learned that Senku's father was one of the people who created the village hence the name Ishigami. Also, he was part of a group of astronauts who observed the petrification from space. In the beginning of this volume, we learn more about the creation of the village, Byakuya and his crew and more. This volume also marks the beginning of a new saga: Stone Wars (Kingdom of Science versus Tsukasa Empire). Dr. Stone's second season just started and it is dedicated to this saga.

Every scene with Byakuya where he talks about Senku makes me tear up. Especially his message to him at the end, knowing he’ll be dead before he’ll get the chance to see his son again, but still wanting to give him something. I am crying loudly into my book.
In other news: Gen is officially in the Kingdom of Science, hooray!

Otro tomo que es una mezcla de mil cosas así que no me voy a enrollar mucho, ahí vamos.
Empezamos con la vuelta de la tripulación de la nave a la Tierra. Nos muestran brevemente como algunos de ellos formaron una familia, como se casaron y también como algunos desaparecieron o murieron a causa de la neumonía. En una escena que me parece preciosa, Byakuya le asegura a Lilian que la petrificación desaparecerá y que la humanidad no está acabada porque él está seguro de que Senku está vivo. Nadie confía más en nuestro protagonista como su padre al fin y al cabo.
Volviendo al presente hay una escena que me hace mucha gracia y es cuando Kohaku pregunta (bastante... intranquila) si entonces todos en Ishigami son familiares de Senku, a lo que él le asegura que con Byakuya no comparten lazos de sangre. Nuevo dato para guardarse, quizás nos sirva a futuro. Entonces Ruri se lleva al científico al cementerio de la aldea, donde están las tumbas de los fundadores, para terminar de contarle el final de la última historia que es un mensaje de su padre para él. Nos muestran que Byakuya fue el creador de las 100 historias y que ha cumplido con el regalo científico que había prometido traerle a Senku del espacio: su regalo es la aldea y toda su gente, su regalo son los aliados que lo llevaran a la victoria para que no esté solo. En una escena muy emotiva vemos llorar a Senku sobre la tumba de su padre y a mi llorando sobre el teléfono, para que mentirles. Byakuya jamás dejó de preocuparse por su hijo ni de pensar en él y eso me parece muy hermoso.
Dejando el momento emotivo de lado se hace presente en la aldea un nuevo enemigo: Hyoga. Casi invencible y que solo pueden persuadirlo un poco Senku y Gen en una maravillosa actuación de disparar un "arma" y el mentalista impidiéndoselo. Hyoga no tarda en volver, pero para entonces la aldea ya tiene katanas y aunque es difícil logran vencerlo, solo porque Gen deja de fingir y le deja muy clara su absoluta traición al Imperio de Tsukasa siendo el culpable de que su preciada arma se cayera en pedazos. Oficialmente declaramos al mentalista parte del Reino Científico. Pero las cosas jamás van tan bien y un nuevo personaje aparece reduciendo a cenizas la aldea: Homura.
Luego de algunos idas y vueltas vemos que Homura se ha quedado para vigilarlos y ¿qué hace Senku? Pues decide dos cosas: construir un teléfono y una máquina para hacer algodón de azúcar. De ahí se desprende algo que me ha gustado mucho. El científico decide dejarle un algodón de azúcar a Homura, a pesar de ser el enemigo, y aunque todos y él mismo aseguran que es solamente un movimiento estratégico para tener a la chica de su parte, Ruri (y yo) no opina lo mismo. Ella le dice a los demás que lo comparte con ella porque puede hacerlo y yo estoy de acuerdo. Senku es demasiado inteligente para creer realmente que con un dulce se ganara a Homura que le es tan leal a Hyoga, él no es así de ingenuo. Genuinamente creo que lo ha hecho más como un gesto de buena fe que como una estrategia. Otra vez vemos el gran corazón que tiene nuestro protagonista.
De nuevo, me ha encantado este tomo y ya me estoy poniendo con el siguiente.

Yo esperaba que la historia del papá de Senku continuara por la mayoría de este tomo, pero en realidad sólo cubre los primeros dos capítulos. También esperaba más emotividad o que sucediera más, lamentablemente sólo vemos cómo su tenacidad lo ayuda a fundar el pueblo y cuál es el objetivo de fundarlo, además del regalo que le deja a Senku.
Me gustaría que los autores hicieran las "100 historias de Byakuya" en historias cortas o mini cómics en cada tomo. Tal vez veamos algunas de esas después.
La guerra entre Senku y Tsukasa se intensifica, yo pensé que iba a pasar más tiempo a qué viéramos un enfrentamiento entre ellos pero todo parece que sucederá en el siguiente tomo o a más tardar en uno más.
En este volumen también introducen a otro "villano" Hyoga. Me gustó su aspecto y su estilo de combate pero en realidad no vemos más de él. Quizá en los siguientes tomos.
El invento que van a tratar de realizar para tener la ventaja en la guerra es una locura total, ya quiero ver cómo lo logran porque hasta ahora las cosas que han fabricado son cien por ciento reales. Veamos si lo logran.

*Review of Volumes 4-6*
Dang it, the science stuff is starting to get to me, but the author put so much effort into it that I can't help but appreciate how complex it is. I find it absolutely fascinating what Senku considers critical to the new age, when I probably would have followed the natural progression of invention. The whole thing about Senku's backstory was so heartwarming and adorable. I mean the whole thing about the origin of the village is pretty cool too. There's a little bit of character development for some of the villagers including watermelon mask, sorcerer 2, and Gino. Humor is mostly some silly faces and some alright jokes, but not the most riveting thing in the world. I don't feel much danger regarding Tsukasa's force because I feel like Senku is going to overpower them quite easily with science. I think the next volumes might be more relaxed, so maybe there will be more character focused stuff!

This volume was really good because it expanded more on the mystery of everyone turning on stone. It also introduced Senku's dad and I really like him. I like how Senku and his dad both want to save everyone who was turned to stone. This volume stood out because it was the first time we really saw Senku get emotional and cry. He cried when he found out that his dad started the village and I think it puts into perspective how hard his dad worked to give Senku the tools he needed to succeed when he broke out of the stone. It also shows the reader how much faith his dad had in him. He didn't doubt that his son would break out of the stone. We also get some interesting situations in which Gen really plays some serious mind games on us and has us guessing whose side he's really on. Even after reading the volume I still can't really trust him fully.

I think this might be my favorite volume (so far). The first chapter, fuck you how dare you do this to me how dare you make me feel emotion. Just that first chapter really got to me in a really good way, really solidified Byakuya as my favorite character. The message Byakuya passed on to Senku and Senku going up to Byakuya’s grave was just holy shit my heart. As for the rest of the volume it was all really good: Kinro finally got glasses, got to see Tsukasa’s army and his sickass fortress, Taiju might finally get a phone, and the cotton candy bit was cute. Kind of ironic that Tsukasa waging war against science is only leading to the further development of the weapons he feared of returning. Really excited for the future volumes.

Ahhh, I remember grabbin this bad boy immediately after volume 4 thinking, “dang what a time to split the story” alas, it makes a lot more sense now.
Or does it?
Not sure this was the best step forwards for the series. I’ve said that before yet here I am still reading. It’s on the safe side of its telling. Like a checklist of the civilization we’re familiar with. I want to see something alien. Something truly innovative. A different step from our past into new waters. I have a feeling from this volume on that gripe’s gonna be my biggest, most repetitive one.
No training or powering up here, Dr Stone’s language is in acquisitions.
Get excite.

Volume 6 brings several new inventions and some hastily concluded battles. Once again science outwits brutish strength. The characters, though they look like walking action figures, are detailed and entertaining enough to be memorable.
Learning more about Byakuya reinforces what a great dad he was, even though they apparently aren't blood related (I fucking hope we're gonna learn more about that or I'll FUCKING LOSE IT) and seeing Senku get emotional learning about his father's death was heartbreaking but touching. Senku is such a great character and I love seeing him grow on his own and with others.
