Story
Kingdom Hearts game (manga)
The first series was based on Kingdom Hearts. It was released in 4 separate books and was translated to English by TOKYOPOP. It, unlike the other mangas, was made to be read left to right, while the others were right to left.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (manga)
The second series was based on Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.
It was released in 2 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 will be told in 5 chapters. (Only volume one and two have been translated so far with a third volume not being released.) 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 8 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. Disney and Square Enix have made no public comment on the future of the manga series.
