Figurative language in discourse enriches communication by adding aesthetic and expressive elements. This study analyses the use of figurative language (比喩表現, hiyu hyōgen) in volumes 1–3 of the manga Dr. Stone using Nakamura Akira’s (1997) classification framework. A qualitative descriptive method was employed to identify and categorize figurative expressions. Out of 247 instances, nine types of figurative language were identified, with allegory (諷喩, fuuyu) being the most dominant (50%). The findings indicate that Dr. Stone employs figurative language for rhetorical effects and as a conceptual tool to simplify complex scientific concepts. This study contributes to understanding figurative language in science-based manga and offers insights into the relationship between linguistic creativity and scientific discourse in popular media.
