Real knowledge inside fiction.
Has a manga ever made you wonder « how is that even possible in real life? » — you're in the right place. Episode by episode, we list the inventions, techniques and phenomena mentioned, and explain the real science, history, or technique behind them.
We're starting with Dr Stone. The manga is the gateway. The knowledge is the journey.
