I'm wondering how much of this manga is based on of the Playstation2 game of the same name. Also I'm having difficulty finding the manga, NOT the game though. By the way what did you guys like better the manga or the game?

The game is definatly better. The manga targets kids, and well... it's cute, and has really tiny chapters. The manga pretty much follows all the events in the game, or at least what I've read.

I've read the manga...it's simply a more detailed version of the game.

I've read the first volume of the manga. and the content is not altered much. As to which one is better, the manga or game.. how can i compare them? they are different things.. I know where to find the manga online.. i can give you the link if you want. but i dont know if posting a direct link in the forum is all right.. (first post.. still reading the rules..)

When a anime or a game is made into a manga, I usually look for another perspective or the story told in a different way. The Kingdom Hearts manga does either of these things.

I didn't like it.

sun007 i think you meant neither.

ooooo i didn't know about this one, i'd really like to see the manga, i've heard only average and bad comment from this thread so far, but im willing to give it a go, i loved the game and the story wasnt bad for a RPG.

This is true. The manga really is kiddyish and tends to be abnomally sketchy

They looked like Chibi clowns.

It's a style that's been recently adapted, Chibi.

I personally like the super-deformed works, since they add another tone to the game.

..or it could be I'm a die-hard SoraxRiku fan and this manga gives a bit of leadway for speculation.

No. There is no speculation. Sora only has one potential love interest, and that's Kairi. Sorry to burst your bubble, but not everyone on this planet is gay.

Ah, but you can't deny it. All the "you're my best friend and I've been searching the weird worlds and fighting to find you" stuff can lead a fangirl to thinking that.

It's just a good think Disney saw this ahead of time and made it known they'd sue the pants off anyone who made a doujinshi of Kingdom Hearts.

If my best friend was being reigned into the dark side, I'd comb the worlds looking for her to try and set her straight. That's what friends do. Funnily enough, you can do it without jumping straight into the sack afterwards.

Sora also searched all the worlds looking for Kairi, too. You know those pictures in the cave of them feeding those star fruits to each other? Because they want to be together forever, because they're in love.

fangirlism=the dark side.

Come back to the light wolf, it seems the fangirls start losing IQ points as they go down that path. Ultra absortion of "This pairing is how it's supposed to be" the original author be damned, not only flies in the face of all logic but leads to lands where angels fear to tread... (or something like that.)

Anime cry I'll come back only if I can keep the Kamui/Evil Fuuma pairing.
