List of Kingdom Hearts media

Kingdom Hearts (キングダムハーツ, Kingudamu Hātsu) is a manga series adapted by Shiro Amano from the Kingdom Hearts video game series. The manga was originally serialized in Japan by Square's Monthly Shonen Gangan, but has since been released worldwide. The manga was released in the US by Tokyopop near the end of 2005.^[1] The story follows the events that took place in the video games with differences to account for the loss of interactivity a video game provides.

Though the general plot of the manga stays relatively true to the events in the video games, it does diverge at certain points. Certain fights were either shortened or excluded. Minor characters like Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie were also excluded. Some of the worlds that Sora, Donald, and Goofy visited in the game are excluded, such as Deep Jungle, and Halloween Town. Chain of Memories changed certain events involving the Organization XIII members and how they died.
