3	Shiro Amano's manga adaptation of the [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI popular video game]]. Focuses more on comedy, though. It was originally released in four volumes (which was translated into English by {{Creator/Tokyopop}}), then the ''Final Mix'' version came out, and became three. As of 2013, the ''Final Mix'' version is available in English, re-translated by Creator/YenPress and released completely in two volumes.

5	Unlike the manga adaptations for the other games, ''Kingdom Hearts'' is read from left-to-right, as per Western tradition.

7	----
8	!!This manga contains examples of:
9
10	* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Kairi's personality is changed to that of a {{Tsundere}} in the manga adaptation.
11	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Donald still didn't allow Riku to come with them and argue with Sora about it. After Riku immediately disappears and Sora looks back sad, Donald looks guilty and tries to comfort Sora about it.
12	* AlienNonInterferenceClause: Donald and The Cheshire Cat get into a philosophical argument about this. Donald explains Mickey Crew’s original “Prime Directive” rule that said they shouldn’t interfere with other worlds. His argument is that because each world's Natural Law is different, introducing Truth from a different world, it could cause everything to disappear in a PuffOfLogic. The Cheshire Cat rebuttals that he can see all Truth and sees no contradiction.
13	* BreakingTheFourthWall:
14	** Once Cerberus goes down, Hercules gives the reader an AsideGlance and tells them he'd already worn Cerberus down by the time Sora dropped by to help.[[note]]He said this in the game too, but to Phil rather than through the fourth wall.[[/note]]
15	** When Captain Hook and his crew are losing to the heroes, Smee pulls a ScrewThisImOuttaHere. He turns to the reader and says they'll understand why he's doing this.
16	* ButtMonkey: Donald Duck. For instance, while Sora and Goofy eventually manage to fly after being sprinkled with fairy dust, Donald falls every time.
17	* TheCameo: Olympus Coliseum's tournaments don't get so much as a mention, but Hades fantasies about letting the Titans out of the Underworld using the Keyblade and they briefly appear during his ImagineSpot.
18	* CaptainCrash: Sora's first time as pilot results in him ramming the Gummi Ship into a Meteor near Traverse Town. Donald is completely livid and forbids him from ever piloting it again. [[spoiler: Sora does not [[Manga/KingdomHeartsII listen]] to him...]]
19	* ChekhovsGun: One of the "title screen" pages for [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Agrabah]] shows Sora wearing a turban (and it looks very nice on him). Guess what he wears when pretending to be a genie in the [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories next game's]] [[Manga/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories manga adaption]]...
20	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Halloween Town makes no appearance at all in the manga, despite its massive popularity[[note]]Deep Jungle also makes no appearance, due to losing the rights by the time the manga was released[[/note]]. Strangely however, some of Oogie Boogie's dialog from the Disney villain councils' introduction is kept anyway (his "you're no prize yourself!" quip).
21	* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: Roxas]] makes a cameo appearance in the ''Final Mix'' translation's bonus chapter, which is based on "Another Side, Another Story".
22	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: A Soldier Heartless attacking and stealing the heart of a woman in Traverse Town lets you in on their nature.
23	%% * Getting Crap Past The Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
24	* GoForTheEye: Sora calls on ''Battle of the Bengal Tiger'' while fighting Darkside. This is a frequent tactic with giant enemies in the actual games.
25	* HappinessIsMandatory: You gotta smile at all time, as it is the fuel for the Gummi Ship.
26	* LampshadeHanging: The irony of having a hard time flying despite being a bird does not escape Donald.
27	-->'''Donald:''' (while [[AsideGlance looking directly at the reader]]) Come on! I'm a ''duck!''
28	%% * LighterAndSofter: Than the game version.
29	* MoodSwinger: In here, Sora is upset Riku left then happy he's okay and then back to being upset why he left.
30	* OhWaitThisIsMyGroceryList: Some of the volumes included a set of one-shot comic strips at the end of the volume, generally featuring an amusing twist on something that happened in the main story. One of the ones at the end of the original Volume 3 featured Aerith trying to decode Ansem's [[spoiler:Xehanort's]] Report. "Ansem the Wise... what were you trying to do...? Pork, onion, carrot, potato, shiitake mushroom... Ansem... You like shiitake mushroom in your curry?!"
31	* ShipTease: The front cover for chapter 31 ("A Storm, Love, and a New Beginning") ships Sora and [[Franchise/TheLittleMermaid Ariel]] together.
32	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Riku-[[spoiler:Ansem]] stabs Maleficent with the Keyblade created from the Princesses of Heart, but she dies rather than turn into her [[OneWingedAngel dragon form]].
