 Not as good as the game Apr 15, 2009
I have seen some of my friends play this game and I ended up buying it for myself. I played a bit of the game and stopped because I didn't have the time to go through another long RPG. I figured that if I read the manga, I would get the basic story of the game without having to play through 60+ hours. After reading the first two volumes I realized that it is a very basic rehashing of the story with little detail. It just goes over pieces of main plot elements thus making it rather choppy/jumpy.
I would have liked to see a little bit more action, suspense, scenery, and character development. Instead I'm shown with the picture of a bad guy on one page, Sora and friends exclaim that they are going to kill it, and he is dead on the next page. Kinda boring if you ask me. I would also like to point out the fact that each chapter (called episodes in the book) is very short. In fact, each volume (there are 4 total) is only about 130 pages compared to most mangas which are about 200. I think they could have fleshed out the chapters a little more and made it a more interesting read. I don't understand how they thought they could cram a long RPG into only 4 volumes.
In conclusion, I would much rather spend the 60+ hours playing the actual game and experiencing the storytelling via the wonderful in game scenery, music, and cgi. At least I would be getting the whole story they way it was meant to be told. However, I am sure this would be a great gift for people who have already played the game and like to collect anything related to it.
It was ok..... Apr 13, 2009
I was reluctant to try the Kingdom Hearts manga. I really like the games, but I wasn't sure about the books...anyway I finally tried the first story. It was ok, but very, very rushed. The manga is loosely based on the plot of the games, basically an abridged version with a few minor differances. It's obviously for younger readers. There isn't as much action as there could have been. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either.
Well, what do you know? Jun 29, 2008
I have never played the "Kingdom Hearts" video games because I don't have a Playstation 2, but I've seen my younger cousins play big chunks of them a few years ago. After that, I got to know the stories and the characters better, but now I'm currently reading the entire KH series. I know many parts are very different from the games (particularly Sora's appearance, and scenes that had to be shortened to keep the story flowing) but they're still decent to read. This is a great read, especially since I'm introducing myself to the world of manga.

 Great Item Jan 30, 2007
This is a great book to have. You dont really need to have played the video game to understand it, but it sure helps. It's a great thing to read to pass some time. I read it at school.
