 ====Differences====
-Many&nbsp;people have noticed the differences between the games and the manga. Such of these are listed below:
+<!--this is more appropriate for the chapter articles-->
+The manga includes many changes from the game:
-*The prologue shows how Sora first meets Kairi after she washes up on the Destiny Islands.
+*The manga includes a prologue which covers Sora and Kairi's first meeting.
+*The story begins after Sora wakes up from his Awakening, and Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka are not shown.
-*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 King's letter is written slightly differently.
+*The night of the storm includes a scene at Riku's house.
-*The characters eventually start uttering swearwords (although the translated edition is 'clean').
+*[[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]]'s lines are slightly different.
+*Sora uses quotes from martial arts books to plan his boss strategies.
-*King's letter is written differently.
+*Sora's encounter with Leon and Yuffie is extended.
+*Sora's meeting with the Dalmatians is not covered.
-*We actually get to see a small scene on the balcony of Riku's house.
+*Rather than tossing the Keyblade back to Sora, Riku causes it to rematerialize in Sora's hands.
+*The destruction of [[Radiant Garden]] is covered with more detail, including a scene with Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith as children.
-*The cloaked man's lines are slightly different.
+*Aladdin uses his first wish to save Sora and his friends from a pit of quicksand, rather than to eliminate a swarm of Heartless. He uses his second wish to save Goofy, not Jasmine.
+*The Pot Centipede does not appear, and Maleficent takes Jasmine, rather than Riku.
-*Sora seems to get all of his boss strategies from quotes out of various martial arts books.
+*Deep Jungle and Halloween Town do not appear in the manga.
+*In Atlantica, the Crystal Trident is never found or used.
-*The [[Leon]]-[[Yuffie]] encounter is a lot shorter in the game compared to the [[Cid]] encounter (which in retrospect is very humorous).
+*The [[Lost Boys]] appear in Neverland.
-*The Dalmatians were not shown except on a Page Cover.
+*Riku does not use Dark Mode during his first boss fight against Sora.
+*Instead of Sora and his friends fighting Maleficent, Riku-Ansem simply murders her.
-*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.

 *Sora, Donald, and Goofy make a brief physical appearance just as they're about to fight Marluxia in Castle Oblivion. This was never seen in the game since Sora and the others never make a physical appearance.
