The synopsis for Kenshin’s newest project reveals that the story features a character named Jabari Booker, an aspiring musician who somehow finds himself in a battle with monsters while chasing his dreams.

“Jabari Booker, a 17-year-old gifted musician, enters New Edyn Academy expecting to refine his talents,” the summary states, per Anime Corner. “Instead, he’s plunged into a waking nightmare. The academy, a supposed sanctuary for students born during The Eternal Night, is training its students for a more sinister purpose—killing monsters. Citizens, including his classmates, are mutating into vicious creatures, twisted by the dark secrets of SANADA, a global tech giant pulling the strings.”

In a follow-up video he posted on Monday, Kenshin said he will sign the first 777 copies he sells. He also said he’s offering free shipping for a limited time.

The main object of his creation, according to Kenshin, is to tell a story “that is rich, original as can be, that is thought-provoking and that is positive.”

“Story to me is the skeleton,” he said. “You can have the rawest action scenes, you can have the most fire visuals, you can have the cleanest music, the nicest sound effects . . . if you have all those things and your story is trash . . . all that stuff is ancillary compared to the story.”

Kenshin added that he’s determined to get his creation accepted by an animation studio.

“Netflix, Crunchyroll, MAPPA, I’m looking at you,” he said. “Whoever wants to come put in their bids, do it early.”
