Story
Kingdom Hearts (manga)
The first series was based on Kingdom Hearts. It was released in four separate books and was translated to English by TOKYOPOP. Unlike the other mangas, the first manga was flipped to be read left to right, while the others remained right to left. The series was re-released in three volumes in Japan in December 2006 as "Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix".

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (manga)

Kingdom Hearts II (manga)
The third series was based on Kingdom Hearts II. This series will be told in five chapters, with only the first two having been released in English, All chapters have been released in Germany, translated by EGMONT Manga & Anime. Kingdom Hearts II seems to take a more serious tone than Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, but still has some humorous scenes.

Licensing Issues
Further translation to English and publication in the United States has been postponed- no release is currently planned for Kingdom Hearts II volumes 3, 4, and 5, or for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. This is due to Tokyopop having lost the license to the manga. Disney and Square Enix have made no public comment on the future of the manga series.
