“The story was full of energy, and I enjoyed reading it. For a manga from overseas I didn’t feel any awkwardness while reading. It’s great to see this kind of ambition! It felt really refreshing and fascinating.”
—Akira Toiryama
“This was a winning book. Its only downside was that the entrants [Liam and Ody] made a continued series.”
—Eiichiro Oda
“I had so much fun. The entrants [Liam and Ody] are able to think outside the box. Even though I am the judge, I learned something. I had a realization… “Manga is allowed to be free spirited!”
—Kouhei Horikoshi
“The entrants [Liam and Ody] are a rare talent. If they stick together, they will go far. I couldn’t put it down the story was full of energy.
—Takehiko Inoue

"Xenotype is a rare gem, it strikes a chord with anyone who loves classic comic book heroes, the struggles and choices a hero must make as they learn new abilities and find out what it means to be a true hero. The manga approach mixed with a western style in storytelling makes for a book with universal appeal! A true instant classic!"
—Vinnie Tartamella (Shadow of the Kraken)
“X-Roads: Strive is good. I couldn’t put it down.”
—Michael Bancroft (The Lucent)
“I pride myself on giving real critical feedback on projects by delivering real, honest and unfiltered criticism. This story is a very clever meta-commentary on the state of the industry, both western and manga. He [Liam] very cleverly proves that he can write a story by writing a story about writing stories. In reading this you’ll see Liam’s skill in creating a story as well as his very conscious of what makes a good story, and I can’t disagree with any of his points.”
—The Man Called Kemosabe (The Company Men)
“You can tell immediately this is well done. This is SO meta. You’re learning a little by creation, it’s so funny and the art style is fantastic. The art is fantastic. This is phenomenal. It just blew me away. Incredible. It speaks to me on a personal level. I love it! If they continued this Bakuman style it would be very good. X-Roads is on a different level. X-Roads is just… its… fantastic!”
—The Weebs Guild (@TheOtalku)
