==Characters & Story==
==Character File==
:Our hero Sora lives peacefully on Destiny Islands with his best friends, Riku and Kairi, until one night disaster struck his world, and the three were separated, whisked away to faraway worlds. Sora looked for Riku and Kairi in the unfamiliar Traverse Town, but with no clues to finding them, his search was in vain. Then he met Donald and Goofy, who were searching for their missing king, and together, they set off on a quest.
===Volume 1===
:After a long journey across numerous worlds, Sora and his friends found Kairi. They also found Riku and the king on the other side of the door to darkness.
;[[Roxas]]
:But strange things were happening on the other side of the door. Countless Heartless were crossing its treshold and overflowing into the outside world. To stop them, the door had to be locked, with Riku and the king still on the other side. Seeing Sora's reluctance, the king encouraged him, "There will always be a door to the light." Trusting these words, Sora raised his Keyblade to the sky and locked the door. And in his heart, he vowed to find Riku and the king once more...
