Kingdom Hearts is Shiro Amano's manga adaptation of the Kingdom Hearts series.

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)

The second series was based on Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. It was released in two chapters and translated to English by TOKYOPOP. The Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Manga has a much lighter tone than that of the game.


Kingdom Hearts II (manga)

The third series was based on Kingdom Hearts II. This series is told in five chapters. Only the first two volumes have been released in English by Tokyopop, while all five have been released in German 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.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (manga)

The fourth series is based on Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. So far only the prelude and eight chapters have been translated.


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.
