Book Reviews of Kingdom Hearts Boxed Set--vols 1-4 (Kingdom Hearts)
Book Review: Unintelligible
Summary: 3 Stars
Kingdom Hearts, which brings together characters from Squaresoft's Final Fantasy series and Disney's various cartoons, is probably one of the strangest and most ambitious projects in video game history. It's easy to see how Shiro Amano got the task of creating the manga adaptation; his renderings of both the Disney and Final Fantasy characters are flawless.
Amano's artistic abilities are the manga's only redeeming feature. The story revolves around a young boy, Sora, who finds himself (without explanation) the wielder of the powerful Keyblade, the only weapon capable of stopping an endless army of monsters known as Heartless. After some confusing adventures focusing on his relationship with two friends who receive no character development, Sora joins Donald Duck and Goofy, who are searching for the missing Mickey Mouse. Their dimension-hopping journey takes them through a variety of worlds based on Disney films and through endless battles with the Heartless and their Disney villain overlords, whose goals and motivations remain vague.
The convoluted plot is unintelligible and never receives enough elaboration to become coherent. The numerous action sequences, often featuring indecipherable pictures, only add to the confusion. Many of the events seem to have no internal logic. For example, in the Hercules subplot, we see the villain, Hades, lean on a sink to look at himself in the mirror. The sink cracks, and, somehow, Hades is either washed down a drain, flushed down a toilet, or maybe sucked into a space-time vortex. The only explanation for this odd chain of events is that Hercules had scrubbed the toilets earlier in the day. This, unfortunately, is characteristic of most of the manga's plot elements.
Book Review: Best book series. EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
These books are amazing! It's a bit different than the video game, but it's still terrific! If your a fan of Final Fantasy, Disney, or both, you'll totally love it! The story starts with three friends named Sora, Riku, and Kairi, that all live on the Destiny Islands. They all are trying to find a way off the island to try and discover new worlds, when one night they get their wish. A storm hit the islands and now they are all sent to different worlds. Now Sora must fight with Donald Duck and Goofy to save the worlds, find Kairi, bring Riku back from the darkness, and find King Mickey. It's so awesome, you should buy it now!Book Review: Terrible adaptation
Summary: 1 Stars
The only good quality of this product is that it is cheaper than buying it separately. The manga interprets the first Kingdom Hearts terribly. It too fast paced, the art is terrible, and there is no character development. It's more of a quick summary of the game than an actual mange adaptation.Book Review: COOOOOOOOOOOL
