Hnnngh!

This is so adorable. I love the Toy Box character designs. Amano made another perfect cover.

Love it!

Remind me, how long is the gap between the Japanese and English releases of these volumes, typically? I'd like to have some idea of when to expect the English version.

News! News! Sweet news! -hugs it to me and never lets it go- This is great!

And perfect timing, too! For whatever reason, I only got around to reading volume one and two of the KHIII manga a few days ago. And since then, I'd been wondering why volume three wasn't out yet. Now I do. LOL And while I'm sure it'll still take a little while for it to be translated into English, hopefully it won't be too long until volume three hits the shelves.

This cover is also just too dang adorable. How is it that Shiro Amano make our already cute series even cuter?

Looks like the manga volume will be a bit bigger than the last two, which is pretty neat

The cropping on those images makes it look like Sora and Riku are checking out each other's sick abs

That's great news. The cover looks nice and it's covering both Toy Box and the magical fairy tale land that has no name. I really hope they take advantage of skipping DDD when introducing Young Xehanort. It also pleases me this volume will be little bigger then the last two.

Are these a good way to refamiliarize yourself with the plot?

Also, I'm curious if the backwards reading pattern messes with your head or not.

You get used to it very quickly.

I remember waaaaay back when I read my first right-to-left manga, the only mistake I made at first was not knowing that the panels also read from right-to-left, but it didn't take me long to realise.

Wow, I hadn't kept up with the KH manga in a while (last I read was KH2 volume 2 under Tokyopop). I know Yen Press does it now and that they've covered much more, I think what I was expecting was that the KH3 manga would have already been finished by now. Very cool that it's still going though, I loved the KH manga as a kid.

 

[WaltK]

At least with KH3's manga, there's a good chance it will actually be finished before we get KH4; it began around 3 years ago and we're just about at the halfway mark in terms of what there is to adapt, maybe more since they'll probably skip Pirates again.

Skipping Pirates, what a travesty. The best world in KH3.
