Kingdom Hearts vols 1-4 by Shiro Amano

4/20/2026

On a small island world, a young hopeful adventurer named Sora builds a raft with two of his closest friends, Riku and Kairi. Then, on the night before they plan to set sail and explore distant worlds, a storm hits and consumes their world in darkness, setting Sora onto a path as the wielder of a mythical weapon known as the Keyblade and separating him from his two best friends. Sora awakens in another world called Traverse Town where he meets Donald Duck and Goofy, and he learns of the epic quest he must undertake to save princesses and seal worlds away from the evil plan laid out by the Heartless. Together, Sora, Donald, and Goofy travel to many different worlds in search of King Mickey, Riku, Kairi, but also in hopes of saving even more worlds from disappearing.

This series follows the storyline of the video game Kingdom Hearts originally released in 2002 for the Play Station 2 system and blends together Disney properties with Final Fantasy properties. Many readers will be familiar with the Disney characters throughout this series, but not necessarily the Final Fantasy characters. However, being familiar with the Final Fantasy characters is not necessary.
