Kingdom hearts


by Shiro Amano


Kingdom hearts is a manga style book. It is about a 3 children (Sora, Riku, Kairi) living on an island who want to build a raft to go to other countries (or worlds as they call it). They got the idea from the time the third child (Kairi) got washed up ashore after the raft was destroyed. One of the boys disappeared and gave in to the dark side of his heart and the girl went inside kingdom hearts.
The boy (Sora) finds himself on a part of his island with a giant heartless and a key, known as the key blade. After it is defeated he finds himself in a town called Traverse – a town for those whose world has been devoured by darkness. There he meets Cid, Leon, Yuffie, Aerith and his team mates Donald and Goofy who were found during a battle with the heartless. They say they were searching for their king and will help him find his 2 friends Riku and Kairi. They set off for a new world called Wonderland where they find evidence to prove that the heartless want the Queen of heart’s heart.

After a fight with cards Alice goes missing and Sora, Donald and Goofy leave to go back to Traverse and be taught about the keyhole that was sealed in Wonderland. Leon finds Riku, who turns out to secretly be working for the creator of the heartless. Sora gets a secret block installed on his ship. What world will Sora travel to next? This was a magnificent manga filled with final fantasy and Disney characters and I give it a 10/10
