Series Description
Kingdom Hearts based on the mind-alteringly popular Square/Disney videogame is the story of Sora, a 14-year-old boy whose world is shattered when a violent storm hits his island-paradise home, and he's separated from his two closest friends, Riku, a 15-year-old boy, and Kairi, a 14-year-old girl.
At the same time, there's turmoil in Disney Castle. King Mickey is missing, and Court Wizard Donald and Captain Goofy set out to find him. On their travels they meet Sora, on his own search for his lost friends.
Kingdom Hearts has entranced millions around the world with its unique combination of classic Disney storytelling and characters coupled with cutting-edge gameplay and innovative character designs from Square Enix, the creators of such mega-hits as Final Fantasy. The TOKYOPOP manga version of Kingdom Hearts takes this partnership to a new level by adding yet another element to an already rich tapestry.
