 ====Differences====
 Many fans have noticed the differences between the games and the manga. Such of these are listed below:
-*none
+*The prologue shows how Sora first meets Kairi after she washes up on the Destiny Islands.
-*
+*The story immediately starts off on Destiny Islands when [[Sora]], the main protagonist, wakes up from his "dream" and also that Tidus, Selphie and Wakka were not shown.
+*The characters eventually start uttering swearwords (although the translated edition is 'clean').
+*King Mickey's letter is written differently.
+*We actually get to see a small scene on the balcony of Riku's house.
+*The cloaked man's lines are slightly different.
+*Sora seems to get all of his boss strategies from quotes out of various martial arts books.
+*The [[Leon]]-[[Yuffie]] encounter is a lot shorter in the game compared to the [[Cid]] encounter (which in retrospect is very humorous).
+*The Dalmatians were not shown except on a Page Cover.
+*Sora meets up with [[Riku]] a lot earlier than in the game.
+*Rather than tossing the Keyblade back to Sora like in the game, Riku made it appear in front of Sora.
+*The plot tells a bit more about the events of when the [[Radiant Garden]] was over run by Heartless nine years prior to the events of Kingdom Hearts, including a small flashback of Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith as kids.
+* Aladdin uses his first wish to save Sora and co. from a pit of quicksand here, rather than wish for the Heartless to be gone. In fact, there were no Heartless attacking in the manga adaption.
+* The [[Pot Centipede]] is absent and Maleficent is the one who kidnapped Jasmine.
+* In [[Agrabah]], Aladdin uses the second wish to save Goofy, not Jasmine (which brought several readers to believe that Aladdin could wish for Jasmine back and the last to free Genie).
+* No summons (including the Fairy Godmother) were shown excluding Genie although he was summoned only during an Omake to help Sora open up a jar.
+* The worlds [[Deep Jungle]] and [[Halloween Town]] are absent in the story.
+* In [[Atlantica]], the Crystal Trident was never found and destroyed and the Sunken Ship was only visited once.
+*The story shows that Riku ended up in Hollow Bastion after he left the Destiny Islands, just as it was shown in [[Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix]].
+*Riku was not in his Dark Form in the battle against Sora after he regained control of the Keyblade.
+*Neither the Maleficent nor the dragon Maleficent battle ever happened. Rather, Riku possessed by Ansem destroyed Maleficent instead of turning her into her dragon form.
+*The story shows that Riku ended up on the other side of the door to Kingdom Hearts after [[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]] possessed him. Like the previous scene, this scene was also created as an extra cutscene in [[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]].
+*The [[Lost Boys]] make their first KH appearance here in this manga.
+*Unlike in usual manga swordfighter stories, the KH manga contains little actual fight scenes. Rather, fights between Sora and his party against enemies such as [[Heartless]] are implied with starting combat, mini fight scenes and/or end shots of a fight.
