Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories - manga (Kingdom Hearts, 2)

I must agree with the person that admitted that he was a bit disappointed with the first series' books. I was as well and so was my brother, both of us having played Kingdom Hearts all the way through more than once and knowing all the events. It was way too short and exciting things were cut from the manga. However, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories stays true to the game (from what I remember, anyway) and still makes it a fascinating read. It continues the story of Sora - the child given the awesome responsibility of wielding the legendary "Keyblade," an awesome weapon that can wrought both destruction and salvation. I have always like this series, and have played all three games. I can't wait for Kingdom Hearts 2 to be turned into a manga. I hope it will just keep getting better! Oh, and, as a correction, this book's cover is not on backwards by mistake. They decided to stick with the true manga style, which is written right to left, instead of left to right like we're used to in the States. I just wanted to clear that up with the woman that gave this a one-star. Sorry if I offend anyone, but this series deserves a bit more than that.

A nice manga for the game, it focuses just on the story and the art style is quite cute. Nice for people who are interested in the series but want the story over the gameplay.

I was hesitant at first to purchase the manga. I absolutely love the game; most amazing story ever! I was afraid the manga may be too cartoony or in some way, not be able to convey the story in the same way. But to my delightful surprise, I believe they did a really great job with it! My only gripe is that I wish the action scenes were a little better. In Chain of Memory, they definitely do start getting better in my opinion than the fight scenes in the Kingdom Hearts vol 1 manga, but still could use a little work. Artwork though is top notch and honestly, in spite of whatever few gripes I may have with it, I'd still honestly recommend this to any Kingdom Hearts fan. Especially to someone who wants to know the story but doesn't like our doesn't have time to play the video games.

A great alternative to the game or just to read by itself. The art is unique and keeps you reading from start to finish. This edition covers the entirety of the story unlike the old ones split in two. The quality of the volume is notable and it looks great with all your other kingdom hearts merch. 100% recommend for any kingdom hearts fan.

I enjoyed volumes 1 and 2 of the Kingdom Hearts manga and Chain of Memories is even better! The story gets more mature and doesn't seem has rushed as the first one. I also like how the manga is not split into multiple volumes.The only complaint is could make is the way this book is read is different than the first two. The KH 1 manga read left to write, but this COM manga reads the traditional right to left. I'd prefer the series be consistent (but this isn't that big of a deal)

Lovely adaptation of the first game I had as a child. A lot of humor. Loving these Yen Press omnibus editions.

I am a huge fan of the KH series. It's a great book for anyone who is a KH fan. Personally I love the depictions of Sora, Donald, Goofy, and of course my absolute favorite character in Chain Of Memories Axel. Axel seems to have more of a personality in the book. I love the fight with Sora & Axel. . . I absolutely love this book and would recommend the manga to anyone who loves the game series. The manga is funny, adorable, and just plain awesome in my opinion.

Not a good substitute for the game, but it's still a fun and enjoyable read. Kinda makes you want to go back and play the game again.

Sigue las mismas historias que el videojuego pero está entretenido!

i actually enjoyed this more than the game. mostly cuz i hated the card battling system. anyway once again it was brilliant and i highly recommend!!

Etant fan de Kingdom hearts, je me suis intéresser récemment au mangas, et ce la ne m'as vraiment pas déçu.Ce mangas est vraiment fidèle à l'histoire de Kingdom Hearts mais en y rajoutant une touche d'humour qui n'est vraiment pas désagréable.Je vous le conseil fortement car il en vaut vraiment la peine.

In erster Linie muss ich sagen ICH LIEBE KH!!!ich liebe das Spiel ich liebe die Fortsetzungen, und da ich jetzt die Mangas gefunden habe lese ich sie mit Begeisterung, sie sind echt witzig und haben auch kleien zwischensequenzen die man nicht im Spiel findet sondern vom Zeichner selbst ausgedacht sind, echt lustig. ich warte gespannt auch die nächsten Bände

I really enjoyed the kingdom hearts manga books and this is no different. This follows the traditional maga style reading of left to right, plus has a diagram to demonstrate this to first time readers at the "back" of the book (which is actually the front to us!). The story stays the same as the game, as well as adding some light-hearted moments which i really enjoyed. I also liked that this book is longer than the previous series which i also liked. A great present for any kingdom hearts fan and for those who'd like to know what happens next without playing the game.
