I love the Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 games. I started Chain of Memories at one point but never finished it so it was nice to get the story from this manga. I loved being able to see more of the organization XIII characters in this manga because in KH1&2 they aren't focused on too much even though the organization is such a huge deal to the story overall. But the story is super complex with all of these side games so it's understandable to an extent.

I also loved how the manga tied in several moments that related to what would be happening in a video game gameplay wise and made those moments kind of comical, as if pointing out that if these things were just to happen in the story without the game they are kinda silly and don't make sense. It surprised me that they included these moments at all but they were some of my favorite parts that really made me laugh. And the characters were so well done, they acted just like how they always do in the games. The art is also great and is so reminiscent of the game art.

I think that even if people haven't played the KH games, they may not understand some of the things going on in this manga, but it does briefly describe what happens previously in the front of the book. If people have at least a general understanding of what the previous games were about though I think they could still find a lot of enjoyment with this.… (mer)
