The '''''Kingdom Hearts II manga''''' is the third series in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' manga series. It generally follows the events from ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It was first published in Japan in 2006. Because Shiro Amano worked on the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days|manga}}'' manga series in the meantime, it took until 2015 for the series to finish. | |||
The first two volumes were translated into English by Tokyopop in 2007 before they lost the rights to the manga. | |||
In 2013, the manga was translated to English in full by Yen Press, combining all ten volumes into four larger volumes. | |||

The Kingdom Hearts II manga is the third series in the Kingdom Hearts manga series. It generally follows the events from Kingdom Hearts II. It was first published in Japan in 2006. Because Shiro Amano worked on the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days manga series in the meantime, it took until 2015 for the series to finish.
The first two volumes were translated into English by Tokyopop in 2007 before they lost the rights to the manga.
In 2013, the manga was translated to English in full by Yen Press, combining all ten volumes into four larger volumes.
