CoryxKenshin’s Manga Success Monsters We Make Sells 200,000 Copies, Proves YouTube Power

In this video, I discuss how YouTube creator CoryxKenshin (Cory DeVante Williams) sold 200,000 copies of his sci-fi horror manga Monsters We Make in its first week, as reported by Fandom Pulse. With 21 million subscribers built through horror gaming content like Poppy Playtime, Cory leveraged his audience to bypass traditional publishing gatekeepers, working with NewGen Press. I share my thoughts on the manga’s quality artwork, his 18-month hiatus to focus on this project, and the confirmed second volume in 2025. I also touch on his emphasis on Black representation and faith in the story, and why I support creators building their own IPs. This reflects a new era where YouTubers like Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed can break into industries without gatekeepers. What do you think of Cory’s manga success? Comment below!
