Recommended Posts

I seen that manga in Timemasters ,but they didn't have the first one cause everyone was there buying all the kingdom hearts stuff cause of the release of KH2 coming in a few days, so I'm going to wait a week or so and go back to check if #1's there so I can buy it.

Does it have anything to do with the storys in the games to link them together?

I've read two volumes of it and it was exactly what I expected. You can't have thought it would have a whole bunch of stuff that wasn't all ready in the game, could you? The events in the game take place with little room in between for added stories and stuff. I think its worth checking out if your a fan of Disney, Manga, and Kingdom Hearts.

What if they made it into an anime though? Wouldn't that be cool? They made a manga, so there's hope!

i would have to agree. i mean just think of seeing sora speaking and then all of a sudden you here the voice actor for naruto or something. that would be very wierd.

Yes... yes it would, but hearing the voice differences might be kinda funny. :animesmil
I'm going to go search for the mangas this weekend after my party and hope they have them.

[B]Well, I've yet to read past posts, to see if you guys like it or not, all I really know is that I like it. To be constructive...

I was amazed. Shiro Amano really did character design great, and all the Disney characters look exactly like they do in the old movies.

The art work for the other characters is great too. The Final Fantasy characters were the life of the book aside from Sora, Riku and Kairi. Cloud is so awesomely drawn!

Sora's hair is always shaded, and so is some other stuff, so it's never completely black and white, but it's not the best shading around, still good though.

The story tells you some of the stuff you didn't get in the game, more thoughts, reasons, and quotes etc.

Yet, the story tends to lose me sometimes, but I catch on to whats going on. Probably because they don't detail the backgrounds good enough. If they did, I'd get what was going on a lot better.

KH isn't very long though, not nearly as long as the game's storyline. It's only a lil bit over 100 pages. So far the the third is the largest with over 130 pages...around 160 pages.

If I was to rate this book series, I'd give it an 8.7 out of ten. I've gotten the first three volumes of the series, and quite frankly, I can't wait for the fourth. :animesmil [/B]

Well, first they have to finish making the series for the first game, but it would be even more nice if it went through Chain of Memories, and into KH2 later, but that would take forever wouldn't it? :animesmil

Bad, like it's bad to the bone, or bad like it sucks?

If I were you, Stafal-chan, I'd go out and buy all three volumes of the mnaga. Each one is only 5.99, and they're definitely worth it. Basically a bargain, since the book is actually good for a game-to-book series. :animesmil

[quote name='Nomura']Waldenbooks. 5.63 at Walmart .com :animeswea Most bookstores have to sell the same price as it says on the book, so it should be 5.99 anywhere.[/quote]

[B]LOL, it takes forever for it to get to your house after you order it...it took 3 weeks for two videogames to get inside my mailbox. Walmart said...three business days. Not weeks... So, it would be alot more fulfilling for the impatient person (like myself) to just go out and buy it. Are you aware of the KH storyline? Cause if you are, you should get this book. If you're not...then...get it anyway. Heh, that's the best I can explain it.[/B]

  • 2 weeks later...
My brother got the first volume for his birthday. I picked it up and read it out of curiousity and came to this conclusion: "It's too short."

If someone who has never played the game picked up the manga and tried to read it they wouldn't understand what is going on. While I understand that the manga was created for fans who cannot get enough of the series I have a firm belief that a good manga is one that can stand alone without the aid of the anime or the game.

Maybe there's more explaining in later volumes but a good manga is able to hook readers at least by the second or third page.
