The '''''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''''' manga is the second series of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' manga. It was based on ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', although having a much lighter tone. The series was first released in Japan in October 2005. The series had an English release in October 2006, concluding in February 2007. The first English release consisted of two volumes and was translated by {{w|TOKYOPOP}}. The series was re-released by {{w|Yen Press}} in the Summer of 2013, now compiled into a single volume.  
The '''''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories manga''''' is the second series in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' manga series. It generally follows the events from ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''. It was first published in Japan in 2005, and later translated to English by Tokyopop in 2006.


The first volume's cover, including the single Yen Press release, features [[Sora]] with the [[Kingdom Key|Keyblade]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]]. The second volume's cover, exclusive to the Tokyopop release, features a [[Soul Eater]] wielding [[Riku]] standing next to [[Naminé]], who is holding a [[paopu fruit]].  
In 2013, the manga was translated to English again by Yen Press, combining the two volumes into one.

<!--Let's make these a bit more professional, then move to Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories's respective volume pages.
: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.
*The only cards used are [[World cards]]. Cards aren't used in combat, or different rooms of a world
: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.
*The memories of each world play out as one consecutive event, rather than two or three separate events.
: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...
*When [[Axel]] first arrives to test [[Sora]], he has his hood up.
 
*[[Sora]]'s first confrontation with [[Axel]] is a farce, including Sora crashing into the wall alongside [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]].
;[[Sora]]
*Larxene, Lexaeus, and Axel are all seen reading.
:A boy chosen by the [[Keyblade]]—the key to saving worlds. He continues his journey to find his missing friend, Riku, and return with him to their home on [[Destiny Islands]].

;[[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]]
*Instead of setting [[Genie]] free with the last/third wish, Genie was freed with the second one, though, he still insisted he would grant the third wish (but he can grant more than three since he was freed).

*Goofy sleep-talks about ordering fast-food when Sora is visited by Marluxia.
*Cid is shown to make a special "Bellyful Stew" where he dumps everything from the fridge into the pot. Yuffie finds that her cheesecake is gone, then Cid reveals that he used it for the secret ingredient of the stew. This ends with Yuffie chasing Cid and throwing shurikens at him.
*Sora relearns combat from [[Merlin]] and Leon, as opposed to Marluxia and Leon.

Characters & Story[edit]

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.
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.
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...
