5.0 out of 5 stars
An enjoyable manga adaptation of Kingdom Hearts., February 12, 2006
This review is from: Kingdom Hearts, Vol. 2 (v. 2) (Paperback)
This is the second in the four part Kingdom Hearts manga, which retells the video game's story in manga form.
In his continuing search for his friends Riku and Kairi, Sora, who now wields the Keyblade, returns to Traverse Town with Donald and Goofy. There, he finally encounters Riku again, but something has changed, and Riku then disappears again. Determined not to give up, Sora and his new friends continue on in their travels between worlds. They go to Agrabah, where Sora meets Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie, and must defeat the evil Jafar, and then to Olympus Coliseum, where they encounter Hercules, the villainous Hades, and Cloud (from Final Fantasy VII).
I think this manga has a very fun and cute art style and I enjoyed the many humorous moments. Overall this series will probably appeal more to Kingdom Hearts fans than manga fans, so I'd recommend it mostly to fans of the game.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good but disapointing, January 29, 2006
I was amazed to find this in Wal-mart the other day. I readily grabbed it being a big fan of the game and as a pre KH2 snack. I wasn't overly impressed, more pleased. The story is true to the game, but at some points there are plot holes where unless you have played the game you'd have no clue what was going on. The artist did a good job of rendering the characters much like the game art. This is a worthy purchase alone for the price, even though it's not as long as most manga. They probably should have made it longer so that at least the plot was more fluid. If you are a fan of KH, buy it. If you're a fan of manga or graphic novels then you might want to think before buying.
