Synopsis

The door to Kingdom Hearts was sealed, dealing a blow to the heartless and restoring the worlds to normal, but Riku and King Mickey were trapped inside! Now Sora, Donald, and Goofy's search for their friends leads them to the mysterious Castle Oblivion, where a hooded figure tells them, "Ahead lies something you need, but to claim it, you must lose something dear." What could be more dear than their very memories themselves? And what do the shadowy members of Organization XIII want with them?

Story
The story actually followed pretty close to the game, with some extra stuff added which was cool. I liked the story in this one a lot. I never beat the game, and I got to see the ending of the game through this manga. There were a lot of funny parts too.

Art
Very nice. The characters are drawn really well and they all look like themselves. The Disney characters were drawn spot on!

Character
They were all in character, though some of them you didn't see much in the game, the mangaka added more to their personality, which was great.

Enjoyment
I really enjoyed this manga. I read more

My review of this manga is based on disapointment. I love kingdom hearts, and i was excited when I saw the chain of memories manga, keep in mind i didnt read the first kingdom hearts manga. The manga remained truthful to the story, which I liked, however kingdom hearts is not a story that can be done in two volumes, at times I felt that the story rushed just to get to the next part, skipping over details. The art was the best thing about this manga. It was hard for me to enjoy the story because it was like Kingdom hearts was turned into read more

Okay, first and foremost, this is my 1st review so I'm pretty new at this. :/ (Onto business...)

The Goods:

The Kingdom Hearts series in itself is a fabulous game series. Many elements in each of the game forms together to give a generally satisfied level of entertainment to it's players. Likewise, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories took some of the main elements from the original game and blended it into a more comedic version of the game, while keeping most of the general idea in place. Readers from the previous kingdom hearts series will understand the flow of the story given they understand the general concepts read more

This manga wasn't too great. Aside from the fact that they included disney characters in the plot, the story seems to be fine- until the only character's motive is to be a "hero" and then it's just the classic - "hero beats bad guy and saves the day" story. Everything was classic - including the monsters and villians - who have no motive, except the general "rule the world" motive (and what not.) - it wasn't anything too special.
