* Kingdom Hearts (the first series) was serialised in Famitsū PS2 (published by Enterbrain) and was published in tankōbon form by Enterbrain. As Famitsū PS2 is a gaming magazine, it is published in Western format (from left to right), so the first comic series is read from left to right. | |||
: After the first series was published, Square (which created the first game) merged with Enix (which at that time published several comic magazines under the brand {{w|Gangan Comics}}). Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days were published in-house by the merged company Square Enix in Gekkan Shōnen Gangan ([[wikipedia:ja:月刊少年ガンガン#連載作品]], [[wikipedia:ja:月刊少年ガンガン#か行]]), and collected in tankōbon format by the same company. As Gekkan Shōnen Gangan is read from right to left, so are these series. Since the series appeared in comics branded as "Gangan Comics", the words "Gangan Comics" also appear on the front cover, but the words "Square Enix" appear on the backcover, in the indicia (as "株式会社スクウェア・エニックス") and possibly elsewhere. Logos appear on the spine. | |||
: At some point, the first series was reprinted as "Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix" and published by Square Enix under the "Gangan Comics" brand in three volumes with one or two extra chapters. These are still read from left to right. | |||
: Source: Original Japanese tankōbon volumes. I haven't bought the latest few volumes yet, but I have all of the older ones. | |||
: Outside Japan, the Kingdom Hearts series have been published by a variety of different companies, for example {{w|Egmont Group}}, {{w|The Walt Disney Company Italy}}, {{w|Tokyopop}} and {{w|Yen Press}}. These companies do not have anything to do with the publication in Japan. --[[User:Stefan2|Stefan2]] ([[User talk:Stefan2|talk]]) 14:26, 31 July 2014 (UTC) | |||
