The Kingdom Hearts Manga is sooooo awesome. It's so funny and it was really unique experiencing the KH story in a different way. The KH Manga was the first Manga I've ever owned and I cannot wait to read it again...cause I accidently lost my copies. Btw, is this version of the Manga any different from the original?
It'll have new translations done by Yen Press but otherwise no, everything remains the same.

I didn't think it was the best cover xD The other ones were super mysterious then there was super bubbly Atlantica. xD I like it as art and I love TLM and Atlantica the world. I just didn't like it as a cover :p

It is true that it doesn't fit haha but I still like it as the second best cover (I like the first one the best because it just looks so nice) and I like the little interruption. Besides Sora's very odd facial expression, I like how everyone is drawn (especially Flounder) on the cover >_< I'm probably just LM-biased haha

KH1 Atlantica is a great world.

I agree! However, it seems like from KH1, people always complained about how bad the controls were (I thought they were fine though) and in KH2..well...let's not even BEGIN to discuss what went wrong in KH2 haha and now this cover! ATLANTICA NEEDS LOVE!!!

(I want to note that the manga are rated T for Teen when the TokyoPop versions were rated A for All Ages. So...expect a lot more accurate translations!)

We're gonna get the prostitute propositioning Sora the proper way and Donald's cursing and even Cid. *cry* This is all I ever wanted.

I knew there was a reason I never got around to getting the KH manga series... it was because my Heart knew this day was coming. ;3; *cries with Spockanort* I'm so happy. <33333

Got my copies of Kingdom Hearts!

And there are six additional pages containing a new Final Mix story. Fierce Roxas, cutie Sora looking slightly older, Enigmatic Man being enigmatic and RIKU!

Enjoy, guys!

These are indeed great covers.

Though I seriously can't see Yen Press without adding a "Sid" after Yen.

also I like the sound of that added story.

WADDLE WADDLE WADDLE. Best thing of this translation. That and the prostitute's line. (The translation is fantastic. ;A; So much better than TPs)

Yen Press did a really great job with the mangas. The bindcover is beautifully made.

So much agreement it is ridiculous. On my shelf I have the Tokyopress and Yes Press versions next to each other and the Tokyopress ones are just...well...really disappointing.

Also, were the new segments at the end of Vol. 2 in the Japanese Final Mix versions?

Yep! He was waddling to find Goofy when Donald first finds King Mickey's letter.

Um, in Traverse Town there is a prostitute that in the original Tokyopop translation says "Let me show you around." but in the Japanese version it was a lot more playful in tone. The Yen Press version says "Why don't you let big sis here show you around ♥"

im not too far into it yet, but i did notice in the 4 panel shorts in the back of volume 1, the "cafe de Aerith" (which TP has as "cafe du Aerith") the drink Aerith is offering Leon is iced tea as apposed to lemonade and leon's complaining about too much sugar rather than salt. (does that count as notable?)

also the character sketches from TP vol 1 are absent :(
