The first series was based on ''Kingdom Hearts''.
It was released in 4 separate books and was translated to English by [[Wikipedia:TOKYOPOP|TOKYOPOP]].
It, unlike the other mangas, was made to be read left to right, while the others were right to left.
 
====Differences====
<!--this is more appropriate for the chapter articles-->
The manga includes many changes from the game:
*The manga includes a prologue which covers Sora and Kairi's first meeting.
*There are no Keychains, and the only Keyblade Sora uses is the Kingdom Key.
*In the manga, Sora is the one who finds Kairi, unlike in the video game, when he and RIku talk about this new girl that was at the mayors house.
*The story begins after Sora wakes up from his Awakening, and Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka are not shown.
*The King's letter is written slightly differently.
*The night of the storm includes a scene at Riku's house.
*[[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]]'s lines are slightly different.
*Sora uses quotes from martial arts books to plan his boss strategies.
*Sora's encounter with Leon and Yuffie is extended.
*Sora's meeting with the Dalmatians is not covered.
*Rather than tossing the Keyblade back to Sora, Riku causes it to rematerialize in Sora's hands.
*The destruction of [[Radiant Garden]] is covered with more detail, including a scene with Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith as children.
*Aladdin uses his first wish to save Sora and his friends from a pit of quicksand, rather than to eliminate a swarm of Heartless. He uses his second wish to save Goofy, not Jasmine.
*The Pot Centipede does not appear, and Maleficent takes Jasmine, rather than Riku.
*Deep Jungle and Halloween Town do not appear in the manga.
*In Atlantica, the Crystal Trident is never found or used.
*The [[Lost Boys]] appear in Neverland.
*Goofy finds the one gummi block they need in a Rock, Paper, Sissors fight with the lost boys.
*Riku does not use Dark Mode during his first boss fight against Sora.
*Instead of Sora and his friends fighting Maleficent, Riku-Ansem simply murders her.

The second series was based on ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''.
It was released in 2 chapters and translated to English by [[Wikipedia:TOKYOPOP|TOKYOPOP]].<br />
The ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Manga'' has a much lighter tone than that of the game, as evidenced by many things, including the following:
 
===''[[Kingdom Hearts II (manga)]]''===
 
[[Image:KHII-Manga Cover.jpg|thumb|right|Cover of Kingdom Hearts II manga (Vol. 1).]]
The third series was based on ''Kingdom Hearts II''. This series will be told in 5 chapters. (Only volume one and two have been translated so far with a third volume being released soon.) ''Kingdom Hearts II'' seems to take a more serious tone than ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', but still has some humorous scenes.
 
===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (manga)]]''===
[[File:200908127b.jpg|thumb|left|199px|Cover of ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'''s manga prelude]]
The fourth series is based on ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. So far only the prelude, first, second, third, and fourth chapters have been translated.
