 Manga creators, celebrities, and voice actors from the anime adaptation are contributing to the project to redraw the 26th volume of the Kingdom manga. Anyone with a Twitter or Facebook account can also participate. 

Participants select one of the about 1,000 panels from the book, redraw Hara's illustrations, and upload the art to create a new version of the manga.

 The campaign's creators plan to submit the "Social Kingdom" project to Guinness World Records as the "Manga Written by the Most People." The manga's story begins with Xin and Hyō, two boys without families in the Warring States Period when China has been embroiled in war for five centuries. Despite living like slaves, the boys strive to realize their dream of becoming warlords.
