3	The manga adaptation of the game ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'' by Shiro Amano. It is the second of four manga based off the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series of games, preceded by [[Manga/KingdomHeartsI the manga]] of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'' and succeeded by [[Manga/KingdomHeartsII the manga]] of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''. Contains even more humor than the manga adaption for the first game.

5	The manga was originally released in two volumes, and translated into English by Creator/{{Tokyopop}}. In 2013, Creator/YenPress re-translated the manga and released it in one volume.

8	!!Tropes:
9
10	* AdaptedOut: All of the Disney worlds from the game are cut out except for [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Agrabah]].
11	* AdaptationalHeroism: While [[{{Jerkass}} Sora]] isn't a VillainProtagonist, he cruelly abandons Donald and Goofy to explore the twelfth floor on his own, and tells Jiminy to shut up. Here, he's not as cruel to them, and tells Jiminy that [[spoiler:finding Naminé]] is his problem, not theirs. The worst he does is call them "pigheads" for a VisualPun.
12	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Those who've played the game would already know [[DeepSleep what happens]] to Sora and his friends at the end.]]
13	* BrickJoke: Remember the turban Sora was wearing in one of the "front cover" pages in the [[Manga/KingdomHeartsI first manga]]? He wears another one while impersonating a genie in Agrabah.
14	* CrucifiedHeroShot: Marluxia uses his plants to hold Naminé this way in the climax.
15	* DefiantToTheEnd: Unlike in the game, [[spoiler:Vexen]] angrily charges at his assailant before being cut down.
16	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Larxene's death ends up happening due to Sora Donald and Goofy getting water on her causing her lightning to short circuit and blow her up, whereas in the games, she just fades away upon defeat.
17	* EpicFail: Sora, Donald, and Goofy attempt a Trinity Limit during the fight against Axel, only to crash into a wall.
18	* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: Larxene throws her knives past the heroes and they make fun of her, only for the knives to zap them from behind.
19	* FeedItWithFire: Donald uses Thunder on Larxene, unaware that electricity is her element. She even pretends the attack is hurting her so Donald will keep charging her up.
20	* GardenOfEvil: Marluxia's room is full of massive man-eating plants and similar creatures.
21	* LighterAndSofter: Than the original game, with only Axel's machinations being played completely seriously.
22	* OhNoNotAgain: Marluxia tells the heroes "To find is to lose, and to lose is to find." He repeats himself when they weren't paying attention. When he says it a third time, they comment that he's either a weirdo or just likes to hear himself talk, which he denies. After he leaves them, he says the phrase a fourth time, then realizes what he just did and complains.
23	* RedFlagRecreationMaterial: Larxene, member of the villainous Organization XIII, is seen reading a book by infamous French libertine writer Creator/MarquisDeSade. In canon, she is quite a sadistic assassin, who delights in tormenting the hero Sora and the girl Naminé - as much as an all-ages Disney/Square Enix game allows.
24	* ShoutOut: Sora mentions the Dokodemo Door from ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' when the heroes step through a door in Castle Oblivion, only to wind up in Traverse Town.
25	* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Riku Replica survives the events of the story and leaves Castle Oblivion with some Vexen Replicas to find their own future.]]
26	* VillainsOutShopping: The Organization XIII members are shown doing incredibly mundane things like reading, doing puzzles, etc. Zexion, Vexen, and Lexaeus even have a chores chart.
