The trailer looked fuckin' sick. Seeing his smile exuberate joy made me cry tears of joy at seeing him accomplishing so much. The joy he feels for his community and creations is what allows many of us to keep going towards a brighter future. So I thank you Cory for all the hard work and dedication that you put into your community and channel.

    We got Markiplier making a tv show and a movie, we got jacksepticeye voice acting in a video game, and now we got an official Coryxkenshin made manga. These people we grew up with have grown up with us too and we are now seeing them grow out of being seen as "gamers in their rooms" and into creative visionaries that show off that they are not only incredibly talented but also put in so much passion in what they do. I have no doubt this book sells incredibly well and I hope it will show corporations that quality and effort is what we the consumers look for. I've been a fan since the mkx days and it's been so amazing having you entertain me but also seeing you try new stuff and grow into the caring and creative person we all aspire to be like. Keep pushing forward, keep being yourself, and keep being kind Cory.

    Cory- you and the entire Monsters We Make team COOKED, brother.
    I finally got my copy of MWM. I really wanted to wait until I had the physical copy to read it, and I’m really glad I did. From the moment I took it out of its packaging, you could tell the attention to detail, on all aspects, was next level!
    As for Volume 1- I give it a 9/10. It’s hard to have the audience get a true understanding of each character’s nature through 8 chapters, but you were able to do that so well, AND give an incredibly flushed out world and setting.
    I’m so excited to see where you take this story. I love the undertones of Christianity, as well as the darker undertones you’ve created.
    Praise Jesus and Keep GRINDING!!
    Also.. WHEN this eventually gets green lit to gain an anime adaptation.. perhaps hit ya boy up for a shot at auditioning to be a VA?👀 I think I could bring a lot to the project.

    Imagine disappearing for nearly 2 years and then plugging an awesome looking passion project you've worked hard on with a team out of nowhere. Only the goat man. This is why we love Cory, only content creator who could pull this off.
    Edit: Should point out that when I say only YTuber who can pull this off, I'm specifically taking about disappearing for nearly 2 years and then coming back with an actually good passion project to promote. Yes, other content creators can promote passion projects and do it well, the "disappearing for nearly 2 years" detail is what makes it only something Cory can do. Only Cory can stop uploading that long and get attention for a project the moment he comes back. So the glazing comments can stop 🤣

You are spot on with your priorities, charecter depth and story lore are both tangentially important to the success of a story. And the fact that you open with emphasizing this shows you understand.

    In two or three years, a new generation of kids will pick up your manga, and they’ll be inspired by the same dreams that pushed you forward. What you’re doing isn’t just about achieving your own vision it’s about creating a ripple effect that touches others and sparks their own dreams. You’re laying the foundation for future storytellers, artists, and creators, all of whom will look up to you and your work as a source of motivation. And while I’m confident that this manga will find its way to a studio and eventually become an anime, I’ll continue to keep it in my prayers. Keep pushing forward, because what you’re doing isn’t just for you it’s for all those who will come after you, carrying the torch of creativity and passion. Keep dreaming, keep creating, and never forget the impact you’re making on the world. Your journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, and it will resonate with others for generations to come.

It makes me so happy that you’ve come this way and you’re living my dream of seeing your characters come to life in such a cool and badass format! Hopefully this is a sign that Monsters We Make will prosper in the future. I can’t wait to see more of Jabari and the squad again, let alone what kind of fan art and cosplays my fellow samurai brethren will make. Keep up the good work, Cory! We love you! ❤️

    Cory, as a young black African American myself, who draws his own manga by myself, you are a literal inspiration and motivated me to go ahead and get my story out there, I’m glad you’re back brother, truly a legend. Samurai….STAND UP!

      Same!! Except I’m not black or African American XD but Cory publishing his manga inspires me to create my own. Hopefully I eventually do. I’ll look out for yours too ;)

      Agreed. Been watching since among the sleep, seeing him come so far is surreal.

    after watching this video, i can already picture the creativity put behind it, especially if you take into account that cory comes from a christian background and he named the city “New Eden” after explaining the concept of the city and benefits it definitely giving revelation end time vibes

      Many games and books and shows and places with "Eden" in the name. Because it conveys a message of a sanctuary or a safe place you dont have to be necessarily christian to use the word.
