The first manga series is based on ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It was released in four volumes and was localized in English by TOKYOPOP. Unlike the other mangas, the first manga is read left to right, due to being serialized in the gaming magazine {{w|ja:ファミ通PS2|Famitsū PS2}}, rather than the comic magazine {{w|Gangan Comics|Gekkan Shōnen Gangan}}. In Japan, the series was later re-released from January to April 2007 as the three-volume ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' manga, which was later localized overseas and consolidated into two volumes by Yen Press. | The first manga series is based on ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''.
