5.0 out of 5 stars
An enjoyable manga adaptation of Kingdom Hearts.,
This review is from: Kingdom Hearts: Volume 1 (Paperback)
This is the first in the four part Kingdom Hearts manga, which retells the video game's story in manga form.
Kingdom Hearts is the story of Sora, a young boy who lives on an island with his friends and dreams of traveling to other worlds. One night, his wish comes true in a way he never imagined when his island is invaded by fiends, the Heartless, and he is swept away to a strange new place. In this new city, Traverse Town, he meets Donald and Goofy, who are searching for the missing King Mickey, as well as some of the characters from the Final Fantasy series. In hopes of finding his own missing friends, Sora joins Donald and Goofy as they prepare to travel to other worlds in search of clues. Part one concludes with the end of their adventure in the first world they visit, Wonderland. I really loved the Kingdom Hearts game so I was looking forward to reading the manga when I learned about it. The art is very cute and it's a fun way to go through the story again without replaying a 30 hour game, especially with the Kingdom Hearts II game coming out soon. I'd recommend the manga to all Kingdom Hearts fans and I look forward to reading the other three volumes.

Great Book,
By Eddie (Cali) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kingdom Hearts: Volume 1 (Paperback)
It is great. All the adventure of kingdom hearts in this series. I enjoyed the first volume. The characters are beautifully drawn, it has good dialogue, and it matches nicely with the game. The only two bad things
1. I read graphic novels which are usually around 200 pages, this is only 135 pages. But it is a book and not a graphic novel so i guess it works out. 2. Only one volume every 3 months. Thats 3 months you can finish one in 2 hours. Number 2 isnt coming out until january and number three in april. I reccomend this book to anybody who loves kingdom hearts or doesnt want to play the game. And it is a lot cheaper only 5.99 that is cheap compared to 7.99-9.99 for viz. I love viz and that is a great price too but for 5.99 i can afford it without a second thought!!! Buy it if you are looking for a good story or if you like the game.

Kingdom Hearts is great!,
This review is from: Kingdom Hearts: Volume 1 (Paperback)
This book is awesome! I have been a fan of Kingdom Hearts since the game first came out and as soon as I heard a manga for it was coming out in America, I was excited. It follows the games basic story line from building the raft, to fighting the heartless in Wonderland. The quality of the art work is good and I found a few of the faces that Sora makes are quite funny. If you liked the Kingdom Hearts game, I am certain that you will like this book. I recommened it to all Kingdom Hearts fans.
